A sad day in the world of bodybuilding and in the city of Plano, Tx.  Amanda Savell and David Jacobs were found dead in their home in Plano.  It is a very unfortunate thing to see.  The art of bodybuilding has been flooded with steriods for decades, but when lives are taken it is a huge wake up call to everyone.  One can admire the dedication that Amanda had for the art of bodybuilding.  It is not ever day that we see someone with such discipline.   I personally had seen  David at 24Hour Fitness but would never imagine that a bodybuilder would just flip out and commit  such horrific crimes.  My condolences go out to both of their families.  I had not planned on writing a post today but I think this is a current issue our society needs to address more.

Friday night and I am uploading pictures of myself.  Hmmm,  I get I am very serious about my diet.  When I was in H.S.  I weighed about 130 pounds and about my sophomore year of college I was up to 205 pounds.  The notion of being huge was always one of my goals, but now after years of being a bit on the heavier side I am through with gaining mass. Alas, my goal is to reach 6-8% bodyfat.  I play lots of sports and have realized that it is better to be strong, quick, and in my opinion lean.  This is a older before pic, but I think it will do the trick.  This diet was started on May 19, 2008, I will follow up this blog on June 30, 2008.  This post is part I.   Dieting has become a more normal thing with each day that passes.  Other than mood swings and a few cravings here and there, I feel leaner.

Moreover, I have been following the advice of 2 individuals, Tim Ferriss has some awesome suggestions on his site, and my best friend Stan Newton.  Cheers to living leaner and I am looking forward to my cheat day, aka calorie freeforall.
