A week of gains.......

Salutations to all my followers! Hope all of you had a great weekend. So..... why it's been a week of gains for me? Back in January 22 (Sunday) my weigh in was of 159 lbs; yeah I was feeling so frustrated because of my weight keeps moving up and down like a roller coaster ride. But this last week, things changed for me and I'll explained why. On Tuesday and Friday evening got my first two training session from personal trainer Ramon Torres, that currently works at Celebration Fitness Center and Day Spa. It definitely feels great to workout with someone that can push you farther in reaching your goals. Did Back and Biceps on Tuesday and then Chest and Triceps on Friday. Of course in other days I did my own stuff, but definitely I was feeling the burn those days. LOL

My diet still the same, courtesy of my friend and nutritionist Alexis, who I appreciate a lot for helping me too reach my goals. Thanks man :-) On Wednesday (January 25) my weight went up to 160.5 lbs and today's weigh in was of 161 lbs. Feeling excited about this gains, can't wait to reach the final result to be back again in front of the camera in which I horribly miss. Tomorrow's workout is going to be Legs!!!! Something tells me that Ramon is going to torture me in this one. LOL..... But you know what????? Bring it on mijo!!!!! LMAO 

Hopefully I'll be able to start posting pictures of my progress. Please visit Ramon's facebook page and contact him for any questions you got about fitness. 

Until next time. :-) 

Wow!!!! is 2012 and I haven't posted anything since........

AUGUST!!!!! Yes my friends.... nothing at all. For those who follow me on facebook, you know it's been a roller coaster for me to reach my goal. My goal is to reach the weight of 170 lbs, so later I can get shredded again and be photo ready to do shoots and finally do a dramatic update in my portfolio, so I can finally submit for representation in better agencies. Now, because I have a high metabolism it has taken way too long.... and I know, it takes time.... Rome wasn't built in one day. But come on!!!!! This is costing me auditions and possible paid gigs too. An example was back in December, that someone approach me for CK Underwear audition, I clearly told the person I was still training and didn't possessed any underwear pics to show...... but after a while I was  asked to send a quick snap shot in underwear to be considered..... you know what? it didn't happened, because I'm not in the shape I'm suppose to be. Last Wednesday; my weigh in was of 159.5 lbs.... tomorrow is my next weigh in.... so let's see what happens.

I know that most of you tells me that I'm being hard on myself.... but those of you that are in the industry knows how "bitchy" things are. That's why I get so frustrated in not finally reaching my goal. I want to be able to look better than my last shoot and be able to finally get some work done too. After all,  I enjoy being in front of the camera and I miss it way too much.

I'll definitely will do my very best in posting in my blog more frequently as I keep progressing.

Have a wonderful evening my friends. :-)

Loosing weight so fast..... not Bueno!!!!

     As I mentioned in my last post (Monday, August 15, 2011), I started on that day a new routine and diet so I can start getting lean but to be able to keep most of my gains. But my weight started to drop rapidly after that:
* Sunday, August 14: 165 lbs
* Wednesday, August 17: 160.5 lbs
* Sunday, August 21: 160 lbs
* Wednesday, August 24: 157.5 lbs
*Sunday, August 28: 155.5 lbs

     Seeing this makes me feel very frustrated because after all that hard work trying to gain 30 + pounds seems to be a total waste. :-( The shirts and t-shirts that started to feel tight around chest, back, arms are no longer tight. Even though I'm happy that around my waist is getting back to normal. LOL. Been following my nutritionist instructions but apparently my body is retarded. Sooooooo today Monday, August 29, I started to change my diet but this time only eating three big meals a day instead of six meals like before. In between meals I'll be taking a protein shake. Also will be taking 10 grams of creatine instead of 5 grams of creatine daily.

     I really hope this stops my body of loosing weight, but also gain a little back again. Now for the routine part.... I started doing abs again after months of not doing any abs on August 15, and it was painful! Trying to do 1,000 abs is not easy! That day I was only able to do 450 at the gym and 50 more and the house, but had to stop because I got nasty cramps around my lower abs and wasn't able to move at least 10 minutes. So on my next two days of abs in that first week I was able to build up until finally on the Monday of the second week I was able to do a complete 1,000 abs workout. Very proud of myself for that! Also what was difficult for me to get back was the interval cardio workouts, but I started to building up and now I'm back doing 15 reps. Woohoo!!!!

     So this is my update.... it's a bitter sweet one, but I really hope my body starts responding so I can get ready for my next photoshoot.

It's been forever....but I'm finally here!!!!

Hey my readers.... it's been forever since my last post. Just have so much in mind that I didn't had time to sit and write on my blog. But let's get started. As you know back in April I got the great opportunity in working with my friend Michael Huitt from NYC. Back then, my weight was only 134 lbs... and I was shredded. After that I started to concentrate in bulking up a little bit, by changing my diet and workout routine. The goal that my friend Alexis told me was to reach 170 lbs. Two Sundays ago, I was able to reach the weight of 169.5 lbs. By Wednesday and this last Sunday I drop to 165.5 lbs.

Today I started a new routine and diet plan so I can start shredding again, but be able to keep my current weight. I have to eat 60 grams of protein per meal (chicken, certain fish, lean meats) and also very few carbs;  only limited to oats, sweet potatoes, and baked potatoes. Supplements that I'll be taking is creatine in my pre and post workout and a protein shake that I'll be taking with most of my meals so I can reach the 60g of protein I need to take each meal.

Now, my workout routine is very similar to what I was doing the past month or so...., but now I'm adding 3 days of abs and two days of interval cardio. This is my workout routine:
                                                      Monday: Chest (6 exercises, heavy)  & Abs
                                                      Tuesday: Legs (6 exercises, heavy)
                                                      Wednesday: Abs
                                                      Thursday: Shoulders (6 exercises, heavy) & Cardio
                                                      Friday: Back (6 exercises, heavy) & Abs
                                                      Saturday: Cardio
                                                      Sunday: Off
Well wish me luck.... I'll try to keep my blog updated at least once a week. Hopefully I'll be able to post pics of my progress very soon.

And the weigh in today is........

     Today is disappointing for me. My current weight is 150 lbs (153 lbs on Wednesday), so I lost 3 lbs since my last weigh in. Was looking forward in seeing a 155lbs, but didn't happen. :-( Well moving on.... still eating my 6 meals a day; breakfast being the biggest meal of all! Also taking my Serious Mass (weight gainer) with my breakfast, pre and post workout, and before going to bed.

     Also since Monday I started a new workout routine. From now on I'm working out 4 days a week, lifting heavy and doing 6 exercises per muscle.
                               * Day 1: Chest
                               * Day 2: Legs
                               * Day 3: Off
                               * Day 4: Shoulders
                               * Day 5: Back
                               * Day 6 & 7: Off

Is finally Sunday and is time to weight myself again...... and the current weight for today is........ 150.5 lbs!!!!! Wow I went up 5 lbs from Thursday till today!!!!! Thanks SERIOUS MASS!!!! Everytime I drink you.... I just want to puke!!! LOL LOL But hey is helping me get the results. I definitely feeling that I'm gaining. Pants are starting to feel a bit tight and some shirts too. So that is all good. So happy! Woo hoo!!!

Oooops!!!!

So I completely for got to weight myself yesterday..... but is ok.... I weight myself today. I just gained back the pound I lost (145.5 lbs). Today I started to take Serious Mass.... it is a weight gainer shake that I have to drink 4 times a day! One scoop in the morning, half a scoop before working out, half a  scoop after, and finally another half a scoop in the evening. That thing is huge. Finished my breakfast plus that and feel like I'm about to explode. LOL and in just a few I'll be eating my second meal.... but oh well someone has to do it if I want to gain.
