I will also provide weekly pictures not just of me, but of my beautiful family and demonstrate how I am using bodybuilding to ENHANCE my life while not sacrificing the things that matter most, including family and career.

Reflections

On a serious note, I would like to take a moment to thank my AMAZING wife, Katie for all that she does. She does read my log, lol. I am addressing her directly below...

Katie, you are the perfect wife. You gave up a VERY successful and lucrative career (she was Marketing Director for TWO multi-million dollar companies by the age of 24! She is THE marketing genius and I admire her) so that I could follow my dream to provide for our family and allow you to raise children.

My Whole Life, Period.

While we still are not near the level your career would have taken us, we are loving life and helping people reach their goals and after seeing what happened to my father, I know that in your heart, like mine, you wake up every day, look yourself in the mirror, and smile proudly at what we are accomplishing. (note: my father lost his life to type 2 diabetes and died a VERY miserable death that took years to finally kill him).

Katie Is My Reason For Living.

When I returned from Las Vegas, I saw your beautiful stomach and teared up. Our baby is growing and you look fantastic. Kambria ran up and gave me a hug. Although jet-lagged and stressed, that is now my fondest memory. I love you, and everything I do, including training, is for you and our children. I will live a long life and will shower you with all of the love you will ever need. Till death do us part.

Sorry to bore everyone. I just had to say this.

Today ENDS my one night a week refeed. I just cannot psychologically handle it and I have even written about this in the past. It is just too much and I do not like eating a lot of carbs at once. I will probably just turn this thing straight keto and prove to the world that carbs are NOT needed for growth!

I will also probably add in a "cheat" of a nice, big salad every two days or so. Ruby Tuesday's has a good Salad Bar. I LOVE sushi, but the feeling after I ate was bad and even when I control my carbs, I just don't like them!

Unfortunately, sushi has become the ONLY carb I enjoy. And this isn't a "fat gain phobia". This is just what I prefer to eat. The body is not a textbook and this MACHINE runs on protein and fat only it seems. YEAH BUDDY!

I told Katie enough is enough and that I will just get a new ring today. I want the world to know that I am married and just the symbolism to me as an old-school conservative is very important. We went to Sears and bought a $100 Tungsten Ring because it is durable and I am rough on jewelry. Sure, the bling-factor from Sears isn't high, but it isn't about the bling, it is about the love and symbolism.

It feels like we are newlyweds again, believe it or not. We have been together over ten years and married for five and I love her more than ever and she is currently carrying our child number two.

Last night was awesome. We went to dinner and the park with Kami and we sat in her room after giving her a bath and gave her a massage and just bonded and loved her as we should.

Today, I have already done cardio (dog walk), and am off to the park with Kami and Katie in a few. I will train biceps during Kami's afternoon nap.

Thoughts For The Week

I spent time with my family and had a VERY productive week in the gym and in the kitchen. I am moving forward with my Low Carb Lean Mass Diet and my energy and strength and through the roof. I have never trained this intense before!

Scivation Marketing Director Derek "Beast" Charlebois and I have a goal to gain 30 COMBINED pounds of LBM (at least 90% LBM) by December 17. Here is the link.
