Just getting you prepared..

Yeah i knew 2nd Degree Black-belt in some form of Karate who used to show off about his "skills". Until he picked a fight with a local drunk...and got his butt handed to him...street fighting > Karate.

I've personally been in the ring/on the mats with many black belts in TKD and Karate..i knocked one out..and beat all but 2.

Yo.....I'm down but that conflicts a little with my agenda of organizing a gang of kickboxers to to wreak havoc on my city. Can I have weekends off in this army?

I ate a ton of crap over the weekend & haven't been eating well in terms of macronutrients the past couple days, so that's slowed my progress some.. but overall, I've still made a lot of progress. I can see my upper abs now when I flex.

As of next week, I'm going to start gradually start cutting out starches and sugars and working out more.. by the end of the week I'll be at about 50-75g per day of carbs.

In a couple weeks I'm going to Vegas, where I'll probably ruin it all.

I've been trying to get back to my routine of eating healthy for the longest. But it just isn't happening.

I start the day with healthy, get tempted, and grab like a chocolate from my well furnished fridge.
