8 weeks out

For those who follow my blog (true fans) here's the first and only photo that's getting out....8 weeks out!

Ive been on phase1 of the diet since i arrived back from our honeymoon, the last few days (4days) Neil has added 20mins of cadio in the morning.

Im growing into my diet, and unlike last year were i done a Keto type diet im going back old school and doing what i always have done-
High Protein
Med Carb
No/ very low fats

My weight from the Cruise two weeks ago is around the same if not, im a lb or 2lb heavier that goes to show you, yet my condition is totally different, I'm responding greatly to the new diet change all the macro nutrient's Neil has added in i feel along with Neil (Yoda) that i will be growing all the way up until around 5weeks out from the Atlantic city.

Roll on 8wks time!!!

Honeymoon

10 weeks out from the Atlantic city- i finally had some time off where i had nothing booked or sponsors had booked me in on, when your used to traveling each weekend i looked for a nice relaxing few weeks then i got thinking........

Bodybuilding is such a selfish sport that it was high time that we went on our long deserved honeymoon, myself and Shina have been blessed to see the world since our wedding but yet call anything a honeymoon...... We have not.

I spoken to Yoda (Neil Hill) he was very happy at where i was at this far out, so i decided to surprise Shina and book a mini 5 day cruise to the Mexican Gulf.

We set sail from the Port of Mobile AL we got there the night before and met up with our Friends and fellow Gaspari Athlete Will and his wife Jen Hamilton

We set sail at 4pm this was our Itinerary
Day One- Fun Day At Sea
Day Two - Progreso, Yucatan, Mexico
Day Three- Fun day At Sea
Day Four- Cozumel, Mexico
Day Five- Mobile, AL

This is what ive longed for a nice relaxing Holiday, it was great Shina banned me from my phone use only to be used morning and before bed, it was hard day one but quite frankly i didn't miss it at all after that as you can see!

The Port of Progreso, Mexico



Eating at one the beach side restaurants-
Nicest Salsa and Chips ive ever eaten, thank Goodness this was my cheat day as i ate about three baskets.

Shina dared me to eat one these Habenero peppers......... No one dare do this!
Shina is half Hispanic and she dare not eat these but here Gran who's full blood Mexican eats these bad boys raw!
This Welsh boys eyes watered for about a hour straight.

The Loch-Welsh Monster!
The girls were amazing the best was i haggled the price down to $10 for a hour massage for TWO PEOPLE!
