Six Pack Abs – Update 4 5 6

Okay, so you may have noticed that I have not been updating my six pack abs status on my blog.   I’m just too busy working out!  Seriously, getting six pack abs is hard work, and I have been working

My four goals have now become a part of my everyday routine (well mostly lol).  The first one, working out 5 days a week, is the easiest to accomplish.  I play volleyball two days a week (2 hours on Tuesday and 3-4 hours on Thursday).  I also have a new workout partner (Ty) that pushes me beyond what I could do on my own.  For example, on Sunday (a day I normally would never work out) he convinced me to do pullups with him.  About 50 pullups later I bowed out… and my back is still sore.  That’s okay though, since it’s the muscle building that burns calories.  I pretty much work out everyday of the week except Sunday, and I normally get in at least four weight training workouts.

Eating healthy six days a week has become an obsession… It’s also the most important part of my plan.  From what I’ve read (in multiple places from sources I trust), the only way to really burn off the fat is to change my diet.  I have basically eliminated all simple carbohydrates from my diet and eat mostly lean meats, eggs, veggies, corn, and limited amounts of whole grain.  I also make sure and take my protein drinks.  I need to have at least a gram of protein per pound of body weight every day.  That’s a lot of protein!

Sleeping still seems to be the hardest thing for me.  I like to stay up late, even though I work in the morning.  So, I’ve been working hard on getting to bed on time, and have been pretty successful this last week, though the few weeks before I wasn’t doing so good.

All in all I feel like I’m on track to meet my six pack abs target date of January 1st.

And now for the photos.  These are my six pack abs update photos that I took this morning:
