Day 3 Back and Bis, Body Beast. Is it really that hard?

As I try to type this update my blog, with extremely tired arms. My brain jumps to thousands of ideas and thoughts. Why am I doing this? Am I going to attract the love of my life by keeping on with this journey? Do I enjoy this?

I keep picturing myself 20lb lighter with fairly large muscles and great physique. I envision that I am constantly moving forward. I see constant growth around me and it started with reaching this one goal.

I struggle daily with numerous things, some are easy some are extremely hard. But, I constantly trying to do those tasks. The easiest thing not to do is also the hardest to do. They say it's still just as easy but I don't agree. Your mind makes it difficult. So, find a way to make it easy. 

Body Beast: Build Legs, Day 2.

As my legs fight to move my body forward, I look at pictures of when I completed 2 months of P90X and one month of Insanity and realized I can look like that again.

The hardest thing to do is stay constant when you don't feel you should be getting the results you want. But, some days even weeks may be harder or easier than others. Some times it's like the planets aligned and you can crush everything other times it feels like some buried you and your crawling from out of the grave.

But, either way you have to move forward. Need to move forward. I am not the most motivational person. I struggle finding the drive daily to do the things I need to. But, my goal is to be the best at everything I do.

Like I said in the beginning I have done this before and got great results. I can and will again. My legs are sore but my mind and focus is on the positive.

Leg day and reflections.

As I sit on my bed, sweating. I stare at my computer screen thinking of my next workout for tomorrow morning. It's a late work out due to not going to bed at a reasonable time. My mind starts thinking of when I used to be in shape.

I think of all the people and their regrets and hopes and dreams. As I stare at my screen I remember a time where I wasn't constantly working out and getting into the best shape of my life. I ran a 5 minute mile at one point. I wonder what drives other people to do the things they want or don't want to get the things they do.

My body aches. My legs are tender. Squats, leg presses, lounges, cafe presses. I stretched to relieve the build up of lactic acid in the blood stream which causes aching. I grab a Gatorade and a cliff bar to replenish the carbs in the muscle which they say you have a time frame of an hour after working out to maximize muscle growth.

So, I sit and relax and I think. How long is it going to take? What steps should I take? Do, I go back to doing a p90x workout or try my own blend?

What do you think?  

Sorry, I have been away for too long.

Yesterday, I decided I had enough of not reaching my goals in all areas of my life. So, I buckled down and signed-up for the gym. I don't like working out in the evening or anything like that. I feel I come up with too many excuses.

With that its back to the 5AM grind. Grind and shine! Put it in the blender and grind it down!!! Alright enough with the grinding. But, seriously I feel 5AM is the perfect time for me. It sets my day up. I know I am going to be up early so that means, I get more accomplished. For some they can't do that.  I just say do it when you can.

Today, I just did some biceps and shoulders and abs. Worked out for about 50 minutes or so. Tomorrow I am going to be focusing on getting an hour in and having a set game plan. Today was just get up, get there, and get it in!

Short quick to the point blog post this morning. Just good to be back in the gym. Progress is about constantly showing up and doing what others aren't willing to do. Good luck! 

9/21/2015 Chest and Triceps.

This morning took me to long to wake up. I kept deciding to hit the snooze button. Then I remember reading a quote from my new book I am reading. I am worth going that extra mile for. 

So, with that I get up at about 5:30. Hit the gym by 5:40 and start working out. It's fairly quiet at my gym that early in the morning so I put on some screamo and just bang away with the weights. 

Chest and Triceps. I push myself doing my normal chest routine and triceps. I feel the muscle burn. It's a good burn. But, I am proud of myself known the less for getting up and getting my workout in. I will do the same tomorrow but I will try to be up by 5 and in the gym by 5:10.

First day of 21 Day Fix Extreme.

I was in the gym at 5 AM. Doing legs. Ugh, I always dislike leg day! But, I need it, I want to have nice legs. I want to have a nice body period, but out of all my body parts I want ABS and nice legs.

I think I will start writing about some improvements and questions that most people have issues with. For most its nutrition. If you have any questions, please ask. Interaction is the key to this. 

Pilates this morning yesterday leg day.

This morning I decided to change up my workout a little and do some pilates. God, talk about a game changer. I didn't realize it was going to be that tough! Let me tell you, if you want some abs and stronger back that is one way to get there.

Yesterday I did leg day Beast style! It was amazing. I think I could have pushed myself further. I could still walk normal and I had my ball room dance lesson afterwards. That was cool. Today is going to be a short post. I feel like I should spend some quality time writing down what I want to write before just post! Maybe tomorrow.

Hope everyone is going out to achieve there goals.
