Making some changes

So when I finished my run yesterday I decided that I was going to make a few changes to the way I have been doing things with this body for life. I still enjoy the workouts quite a bit and I know that I am getting results I can just look in the mirror and tell. One thing that has worn on me is the eating and all the prep of food each week. That is the part that I am going to change. Now that I know how to eat and what is considered good and bad food I am going to not be quite so strict with what and when I eat. I still plan on eating correctly and eating more than the normal three meals a day just not quite the way the book tells me to do it. I think making this decision is going to give me the best chance to stay on track with the workouts for the remainder of the 7 weeks. My wife had the idea of trying to eat the way that I want to eat for the next week and see how I feel or if I still see the same results, if I don't then I can go back to the way I was eating before, if I do then I can continue with what I am doing and not have to feel so restrained on my nutrition. I have also been spending a lot of time reading articles about weight training and fitness on the internet to see if what I am doing it the best way to go about getting bigger. It seems that I am on the right track to getting bigger, just about everything says the same thing about taking in more lean calories and protein so that your muscles can grow. I feel like I have been doing that just fine. This morning I did my lower body workout and I had to do it at the rec center since I had somewhere to be first thing in the morning. The workout was not all that bad I just didn't get to do everything the way that I like to and I had to use a different machine than I normally use for my ab workout so I didn't get as good a workout as I could have. I also didn't get to switch workout for my high points on my squats because the machine I wanted to use was being used for a guy that would not get off. Tomorrow I am going to go to my bible study and then use 20 minutes of my lunch to get on the treadmill and do the cardio workout for Tuesday. I guess we will see how this change goes.
