well I haven’t written in over a week, its been crazy working out part these last 2 weeks at night and has caused me to crash in the middle of the day, so i’m back to morning and hope I don’t have to show up to early for work, otherwise i will have to wake earlier and i dont want to do that lol…………………….my workout this morning was great, i did chest, shoulder, triceps,biceps and add, warmed by running for 6 minutes and i forgot to stretch and and i ran 1 mile after my workout…that was fun….it was freezing outside, i like working out in the open air gym area of golds, but the steele was numbing my hands and i dont own a pair of weight gloves, i guess i will give in and buy gloves and a gym bag, i have been avoiding that forever lol………………………

Wednesday ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Posted in Uncategorized on December 2, 2009 by Robert CortesI worked out last night at 10:15pm till almost midnight, i had a really long day and wanted to just go to bed and called my friend Liz and she was LIKE OMG you didn’t workout, well that got me moving and I chugged a pre workout drink for the jump-start and crushed it at GOLDS, it was great pumping weight outdoors! I did quads, calves, hamstrings, then tri, bi and butterflies for chest, it was intense i used a circuit training method with limited rest between sets…….its great to have someone to call and luckily I have a bunch of people to call now if I feel like I’m going to break my word…………….

Wednesday -Shoulders and Triceps
Posted in Uncategorized on November 11, 2009 by Robert CortesI had my 7am workout with my trainer Will, he had me do a variety of shoulder and triceps torturous exercise that no human being should be allowed to do! Throw a bench press barbell over your head is not only intense but at 7am its can be dangerous ROFL! basically a clean and press from semi squatted and the other one was a straight shoulder press, did trap pull ups, tricep muscle fiber killer on the cable machine and Cuban dumbell shoulder presses, it’s a shoulder press but going out in a V pattern outward, ate my feta spinach egg-white wrap and coffee and had a diet pre workout drink and a litter of water so far today, yesterday for dinner I had 2 glasses of red wine and had 3 pieces of bread and a handful of mixed nuts, so i should haven’t eaten before going to the event (5pm) i figure i had about 800 to 1100 calories so i decided i wasn’t going to eat till the following morning, my point is preparing meals or eating in advance of events can mean the difference between fueling your body without using empty calories to do that, my promise is to cook my meal and prep ahead when I know i will be at events or on the road
Monday Night Workout / Tueday AM CARDIO
Posted in Uncategorized on November 11, 2009 by Robert CortesI overslept yesterday morning and decided to make up my missed am workout with a night workout, its was INCREDIBLE! i did a 6min warm up then went outside in the cool night air with my nano pumping the music and I started with dead-lifts, 3 sets of 15, barbell overhead and back to ground in a squatted position and no rest between back rows, 3 sets of 15 and farm walking with 45lbs in each hand around the gym. I did biceps curls and ate tuna mustard on toasted wheat for dinner with lots of water, i had a diet per workout drink and im pretty sore again today. I met a workout buddy Jessica at the gym I did 45min of intense precore work, the one that swings your legs and arms like doing hurdles! I ate my feta spinach egg-white wrap and coffee, had cobb salad for lunch and i’m so wore out……but feel great! I dont think im eating enough……………………Im going to upgrade this blog into a website to host a weight lost plugin, guest articles, routine, meal planning, calendar, blog etc to help people lose weight with me! Jessica, my workout buddy, she called me at 6;30am to make sure i was meeting her at the gym and I know if i didn’t get that call this morning because I would have just worked out tonight, but it’s way more fun to do it with a buddy or two or three!
Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday Updates
Posted in Uncategorized on November 9, 2009 by Robert CortesI did some crazy exercise that takes the barbell from squatting to standing taking the weight over my head and repeated that like 20 times for my last set, chest work, lats, farming walking around gym with45 lbs in each hand etc, great workout! Saturday thru Sunday I took off, no workouts, however I took my cheat meal to far, had an Arbys turkey bacon sandwich with fries, tossed in a stone brewing beer and some yogurt and my stomach had a revolt! I felt horrible for most of Sunday and my sleep was horrible, I going to rethink my cheat meal to a fillet (make a nice sauce) and some wine and cook it myself!
Monday morning overslept my gym appointment by an hour (feeling the pain of my cheat meal) I see the effects of one meal on me and Im was really pissed this morning that I missed my workout, so you will see me at the gym after work, I have been working really hard and having fun working out, its been incredible coming to work after a workout, feeling like a million bucks!
My friend Kelly is joining my San Diego 3000lbs challenge! I;m looking to upgrade this blog into a website that show a drop in weight via graphics as people join and drop weight….so that over 10 people who want to participate and I have more…….help i need website help, Craig from team agreed to help me on this after this week, he has to build 14 website from the end of the week so after that he will contribute to the website! I hate blogging that I cheated on my cheat meal, i would rather just post the good stuff, not that i missed a workout or feel horrible after a cheat meal….but I’m committed that its works for me and I’m going to have the women of my dreams and start a family out of playing this health and well-being game!
