Don't call it a CoMEBACK!!
What’s good everyone!
After a month-long hiatus, I’m back to posting on Streetztalk again! I’m sorry for the delay and I will explain what took me so long to post.
Around the beginning of May, I did some travelling. I hit ATL for a week, and got thrown off my diet plan. Another week went by and before I knew it, I had lost significant ground in my fitness goals. I felt like sh*t to be honest. Now, while I’m extremely hard on myself, I know I wasn’t “horrible”, but I definitely wasn’t where I wanted to be or even on that path. I write about my struggle sand achievements here, but I felt like a hypocrite.
I’ve been hyping everyone up t get in shape and make it happen for years. I changed the main focus of this site to do so! To motivate myself, keep me honest, and help someone who may be in the same boat as me. I didn’t feel like I had the right to say anything else since I had fallen off. It was quiet for me, so I stayed quiet on the blog.
I spoke to some real good people in my life, and they brought me off the edge. They told me that one of the best aspects of Streetztalk is that they see that I struggle with eating healthy and working out just like everyone else. I’m not a superman, and I will falter, but when I overcome I owe it to the audience to inform them of how I got there. Basically, I needed to stop bitching and get refocused and re-energized. So that’s what I did.
I got back on my plan. Worked out harder. Ate better. I got back on track. For the last 3 weeks I’ve bee in the Burn The Fat Inner Circle Summer Holiday challenge. I’ve raved about Tom Venuto and his teachings many times here (search the name you’ll see). His books helped me to get focused and hit fitness goals. I update my progress over there weekly, and wanted to get a good footing there before I came back here.
So yes, I’m back! Streetztalk Back! (Happy Birthday to a Legend, Tupac btw!)
So now, I will continue to post here and there. Maybe not everyday, but you already knew that. I’ll also recap my weekly results for the Holiday challenge here too. My results will come on Wednesdays now.
Thanks for sticking with the site, and I hope that you do better than me when facing adversity… or I should say that you keep going full throttle despite obstacles. If you don’t, take it from me, it’s just as easy to get back as it is to fall off!
Check my weeklys below, and Train for Success!!

| Week Three Results!!
Whats up everyone! Here are my Week 3 Stats: Weight Week 2: 188.8lbs OK so according to the numbers I’m making progress, which is cool, but I don’t know. I’m still questioning the accuracy. I got all of my weight traning sessions in, but missed out on a lot of cardio (I think I got 2 sessions completed in week 3). I went on vacation from Friday – Sunday and I was very active, but didn’t eat. I was real busty, chilling with friends, and the time just went by and I ended up eating once a day (if that) and with alcohol, majority empty calories. So maybe I dodged a bullett. I’ve been fighting back and forth with the notion of whether or not I would do cardio 2x a day 5 days a week. It seems excessive, and I don’t want my body to get used to it, for it to relapse on me when I go to a more normal cardio schedule. I may do this for the next 4 weeks just to jump start to the halfway point. I’m thinking one session is High Intensity interval Cardio, and another is a light session of jogging, walking, elliptical, biking, or playing basketball. I also got in a yoga session this week which I was proud of, because I’ve been neglecting it. It’s painful and I hate being contorted, but the payoff is golden! I also remember Tom saying in BFFM that if he knew then what he knew now about cardio he’d do twice a day cardio until he got to his target weight/body composition. Very tempting and motivating! I’ve also added 200 pushups 6 days a week to my routine. It keeps me focused and keeps my body fit. the only day I dont do them is the day before my chest workout. I’m going to add some pullups to my weight lifting routines as well for a nice warmup before any workout. I think I need to eat more too. I reviewed my food log, and I feel like averaging 1900 calories for the week is too low! I want to reach my target weight of 180, because it’s become more of a challenge than anything. i’ve gotten as close as 184 before I zig zagged again. I’m much more concerned with body composition though, and I see slight differences after week three. I’ve added some new supplements to my regimen. I drink Casein protein before bed, to feed my muscles as I sleep. I’m also trying out the OxyElite fat burner. I’ve heard good reviews from many sources, and people wanted me to try it out, as I’m always raving about fitness. I’ll be able to give a more accurate assessment of the Fat burner next week, but my initial reaction is that I feel the thermogenic effect for sure, and I want to see what a full week of my diet and program along with those supplements accomplish. The biggest thing with me is that I want to see physical change. I want to get more ripped, as I like my current size. I’m gonna remain consistent, make tweaks, and see where it takes me! |
