Day 63 - Commit To Be Fit!

Unfortunately I couldn't workout today. I had minor oral surgery and I can't workout until Sunday.
I recently started this new supplement it's a pre-training and performance igniter which is suppose to give you more strength and energy. It basically has creatine and nitric oxide in it. It certainly gives me more energy. Now a bit about supplements...
I do take supplements and some of them include vitamins. I've taken vitamins all my life. When I was a child, my grandmother would give me cod liver oil which I had to hold my nose in order to take it. I was told, to take it because it was good for me, so I did. My mother gave us multivitamins and she did not give us stuff like Flintstones vitamins, she gave us "the good stuff" from the local health food store. She always knew the owners of the stores (this was way before GNC), and they would make recommendations. I remember taking whey protein (not sure why back then) and vitamin E, etc, etc.
I often hear the following from doctors, health professionals, the media etc, that it is not necessary to take multivitamins since we get vitamins and nutrients from our food. In opinion, that's a bunch of crap! Seriously, most people do not eat enough fruits, vegetable or natural and non-processed foods to get the nutrients that they need. How much nutrients do you think people really get from eating junk food which is exactly what the general population consume...chips, soda etc.
Other supplements I take include Omega 3, and MSM. Specifically for training, I take creatine and whey protein (my fav is Optimum Nutrition).

I had a great lower body workout. I increased my squats to 140lbs for 4 reps and 6 sets. I also increased my Romanian Deadlifts to 160lbs. Sometimes I find it unbelievable that I can lift that amount. Unfortunately my mouth is a bit sore so I can't eat very much, which really sucks!

Since I was home today, I watched a bit of The View and there was a man on there who was used to weigh 600lbs and lost almost 400lbs. It was amazing! He did it all without surgery. He just used a trainer. It was interesting because he thought that he would be able to lose weight by not eating all day. Wrong, that does not work. As a result of not eating all day, he would then binge at night because he was extremely hungry.

Today I am grateful that my surgery was successful. I am also grateful for all of the support of Craig. He has been taking care of me today.
