So here I am, almost a year later, and in worse shape than I was last year.
It hasn't been easy for me.
I tried to do a bulking up phase for about 4 months, but was careless and gained a lot of body fat. In the meantime I went back to a regular weight, but I sure lost some muscle in the process. To make it a bit harder, I spent much time this year not being able to train. I had to get surgery because of appendicitis, and have been having tendon problem in my left foot, and overall pain on my arm tendons.
Tomorrow I will restart training.
Anyways, it's been a great year for me. I'm getting my financial life up, and have decided that I will now get in the best shape of my life. For many reasons...
One of them, is because I want to spend the rest of my life helping other people getting lean. It's a decision I made and I'm working on making it a reality for me.
Another one, is because Jon Benson "framed" me. Yes, I love the man, but he put me on the front page of www.everyotherdaydiet.com with a photo of me one year ago. So now I have many people who know how I looked, and I have to get back there. Besides, it's my understanding that in order to be a true leader when it comes to fat loss, I have to get my six pack visible.
So, now that I can FINALLY restart my training, I am making my affirmations and dream list to get my six pack.
Tomorrow I will make some math, and see realistically when can I have my six pack, and start working on it. This time I'll follow EODD 2.0, and I will be following a diferent workout routine.
As I am a "hardgainer" when it comes to muscle, I'll do a 3day split routine, with one day of rest, and I'll focus on 10 sets of 10 reps supersetted with 2 exercises.
I'll do Chest+Triceps, Back+Biceps and Shoulder+Legs.
I had ordered bodylastics from sivart in september and it still hasn't arrived. in November 4th, it entered the Portuguese Customs and I haven't had any word on it yet.
So I will do full body workouts for 2 or 3 weeks, so that my body gets used to training again, and then when I feel comfortable and not so sored, I'll get right in 10x10.
Tomorrow I will update the blog with actual pics and I'll be keeping you posted on my progress.

Starting week 6
So here I am guys, with new photos to upload...
This week has been so hard because of work. I have been getting off work between 10.pm and 1.am, but hey, that's life. Nevertheless, I have been absolutely rigorous about my eating, even though I had to skip a few cardio workouts because I usually do them after work.
I bought myself a stationary bike, and so I've been doing a few cardio workouts, namely my HIIT at home. It's freezing outside and I prefer doing my cardio indoors ehehhe.
The fat is really coming off my front abs, I can really feel it coming off, so great work for me this week, even with all the adversity.
So here are my pics.
(PS. Tomorrow is CARB DAY :D)

Pics and more
Hi guys,
Here are the pics I took yesterday.



I'm finally gaining some shoulder, and my chest is growing too as my arms. I've got to measure my arms because I think I already gained around 1 cm or something (flexed).
Yesterday was carb day, and today I woke up with minus 0,2% body fat, and had gained 500g in my overall weight, which means, glycogen restored :)
The differences are really starting to show :)

Starting week 5
Hey guys,
Sorry I haven't been doing any updates, but I've been really busy at work. I haven't fallen off my diet though, I've been strict about my diet and my training.
Today I weighed and was at 11,6% BF, from 13,1% two weeks ago. It's a nice improvement. I'm way in schedule for my goal of less than 9% (on my scale) by December 17th.
Today I'll be posting the pics I took yesterday to show my improvements.
Best regards
