Today is Sunday and it's the beginning of week six of my off-season diet and training. Things have been going well, I am gaining strength and I believe muscle too. How much muscle? I'm not really sure but I can see my body changing every week and have put on 10 pounds since my last competition. I'Il admit I haven't been as vigilante with my nutrition as I should be. NOT that I've been off track. I do get three cheat meals per week and I try to make those as healthy as possible, but I'll have ... Continue reading ...
Fit Problems
Posted by Casey Kennedy on Sunday, September 23, 2012,
Do you ever catch yourself doing something absolutely ridiculous??? I do constantly and wonder where the hell did that come from. Here are a few things I've noticed from myself.
MY FIT PROBLEMS
- Some ass took my spot in the gym parking lot and I had to walk all the way from the far end to get in.
- I hate it when the person in front of me is only taking the stairs one at a time.

That is a WHOLE other level of fitness that I had never experienced before and I wanted to d... Continue reading ...
Drinking Alcohol While Dieting
Posted by Casey Kennedy on Monday, September 10, 2012,
Alcohol consumption would not be my liquid of choice while dieting and the draw backs will far outweigh any health benefits your red wine drinking friends may tell you. The liver cannot metabolize alcohol and fat at the same time so this means that while you are drinking you are NOT burning fat and won't be until the alcohol is completely out of your system; and depending on the amount you drink that could be up to 24 hours, if not more. Not only does alcohol stop the fat burning process it a... Continue reading ...
Stop The Binge
Posted by Casey Kennedy on Tuesday, September 4, 2012,
I think almost everyone has been to the point of no return, when reaching for A cookie turns into 2 cookies, then 3 cookies then before you know it the whole box is gone and all you can think about is wanting even more cookies. We then try to justify the multiple sweets we just ate but just because you had a cereal bar for breakfast doesn't cancel out the 8 cookies you just had. I get around 2 cheat meals a week and it's very difficult for me to contain myself when I am really wanting somethi... Continue reading ...
