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. 

Back in the gym! Plus shakeology! Yay

Today, I was back in the gym at about 8:30!

I did Body Beast this morning Chest and Tri's damn I love this workout. I feel swollen afterwards. This is a great feeling! I feel so much better now that I am getting better nutrition in my system. I have to figure out my next step.

August 3rd I am starting my challenge group for 21 Day Fix Extreme. I am so excited! I can't wait! Yay.

Love you all. Thanks for bearing with me. I look forward to hearing from you all. 

I have taken a week off of working out!

I have taken a week off of working out. I have been trying to get my eating and other habits under control. Coming this Sunday, though I will be back in the gym, taking care of everything. Don't worry everyone more of my ridiculousness is coming! I hope you are excited like I am! 

I will post Sunday! Thanks everyone. Look forward to getting back with you guys and gals! 

Still slacking on my workouts but have been drinking my shakeology.

So, as the title suggests. I have been having difficulty with getting up on time to do my workouts. It's hard trying to do this by myself. I feel the daily struggle. It doesn't help that I tend to go to bed around 10:30 to 11:00 PM.

Monday and Tuesday are my worst days I think because I am at work 8:15 am to 9:00 PM so when I am done I am like ugh workout I just worked out!

But, I will get back on track. I will figure this out. It would probably help if I got a good amount of sleep and had that driving factor to workout. I want to be healthy. But, my body complains a lot! Haha... Ugh alright thanks everyone. 

No excuses I have been slacking.

Sorry, I am sorry to disappoint but I haven't been to the gym in two days. I think I went Saturday was my last day. I didn't get a change to go this morning I left my gym keys at work and I ended up doing some personal business this morning! But I have been drinking my healthiest meal of the day!

I will try to go this evening. But, after I get out of work at 9PM I tend to want to slack off! Thanks for baring with me. Also my workout partner is on vacation still so that is my own personal accountability! 

July 18th, 2015 Beast Body Chest and Tri's (ouch it hurts)

Oh my gosh! 5 AM was hard to get up at, to work up, but I was in the gym by 5:45... God that was intense! With that being said I did some Beast Body Chest and Tri's!

Whoa, I never realized how important your chest was until today. I am having such a hard time lifting my arms. I pushed! I had some technology issues and when I mean I had. I mean me as a person. For some reason I accidentally left my phone paused for too long or something but it restarted the TeamBeach body on demand site. Which by the way started working for me. That was pretty legit. So, I stopped about half way through the work out, but I then did abs.

Man, my body is like on fire!!! FIRE!!!! I can't wait to do it again! Tomorrow. Who is with me! If anyone has any questions about anything don't hesitate to ask, that is what I am here for just because I write about my struggles to get up at 5AM doesn't mean I am not here to help others either!

So, with that thinks for reading look forward to seeing/hearing some results from everyone out there! 

July 17th, 2015. 5AM not happening today!

Today, I did not work out at 5 AM.
            For whatever reason I could not make myself get up. I plan on going to the gym after work. I need to go to the gym after work!

Motivation sometimes is not my personal strong point! If I have someone who I know is counting on my and depending on me to be some where or do something I am more likely to show up and follow through!

Short post for now I will post after working out! Thanks. 

July 16th , 2015 Chest and Biceps (Was thinking of something else but..)

Good morning everyone!
             Today I decided that I wanted to do some weight training! I was hoping that my Team Beachbody On Demand was going to work this morning on my cell phone (it didn't I don't know what the issue was!). So instead weight training!!! YAY!!!!

I went for chest and biceps! I am not sore, yet... Which is awesome. I have no idea why I am not maybe I am not pushing myself hard enough. But that will change! I have Body Beast on order and I am waiting for it to come in!!! As Hanz and Franz would say " It's time to pump! YOU UP!"

I am so excited before and after pictures coming soon! With that I have also signed up to become a Team Beach Body coach. I enjoy helping others succeed in their fitness goals and I love being apart of a team that truly cares about their clientele.

Don't worry I am not going to shoving product or anything down your face. You can ask and I will tell you my experience with it or you can read this blog!

With that though. Today I feel pretty great. I worked out, I took my shower, shaved, brushed my teeth and flossed. I am ready for the day.

For the next ten days I don't have a workout partner so lets see how well I truly do! 

July 15th, 2015 Rest Day (Shoulders and Chest)

Another 5 AM slugfest. Today was a rest day so I was thinking of doing ABS and cardio recovery.

Had some technical difficulties with the laptop so I decided to do shoulders and chest instead! It was amazing! Pushed enough to feel the burn. For some reason weight lifting for me is easier than cardio.. I realized that as I was pushing easily through some basic weight lifting exercises.

Today, I had my workout partner focus on form. Her shoulder has caused her an issue. Form, form , form...
Most people don't understand that form in every aspect of working out is the most important thing you can do for yourself! Without proper form you can cause serious injury to yourself.

Also with proper form your workouts improve dramatically. Today was form focus day. Shoulders, chest and biceps! Most of the time I focus on two major muscle groups when working out, but today I was feeling frisky!

Today, I didn't feel like death was knocking on my doorstep as I was working out. But I did push myself to succeed with this.

Short blog post today. I have to accomplish other things as it is my day off! Join me in a 5 AM workout! 

July 14th, 2015 Pure Cardio at 5 AM

Gosh, 5 AM is a time when no one should be alive.

This morning 5 AM came around too quickly. I went to bed late last night. 11:30 to be exact. I sold a car late and got home at approx 10:30 and couldn't get to bed that fast. Text message ugh 7 minutes... Phone call.. 4 minutes later ugh!!!!

" I am around the corner"
" Ok" Grunt hang up try to get up.
Alarm goes off. Text message, here...

Why, does waking up before 7 AM so difficulty? Seriously, why is waking up after sleeping so difficulty?!?!?! If you can answer this question please let me know! For me I am not a morning person. I mean seriously. You would have better luck torturing me willing if I could sleep in for 30 more minutes!

Get dressed, get out the door. BANANA!!! Water.

Drive to the gym. Get ready. I am in a piss poor mood! I have no idea why. Just super cranky! ( Sorry, it happens sometimes.) Get into the gym... The have Pandora on and I can change the music... Someone deleted Taking Back Sunday channel... hmmm Third Eye Blind it is!

Yay, decent music! Time to sweat... Ugh

Drop in the DVD, Shaun T getting pumped up "LETS GO YALL!!!".... I hate you... Why do you have so much damn energy!!!

Jog, Heissman, rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat! 10 minutes pass, break, stretch, now to pure hell 20 straight minutes of pure cardio no breaks unless you die.. I die alot! I keep going and struggling. Lets go work harder, faster, stronger! 20 minutes later sweat is pouring down my head! Stretch again....

I am supposed to do Abs afterwards but we don't have enough time. So that will be tonight after work 9PM.

July 13th , 2015 ; Insanity Cardio Power and Resistant.

Overview of this blog. This blog will just be my story of working out at approx 5 AM in the morning.

Good morning. Its been about 4 hours since I have worked out. I am currently sitting in my office trying to start my day by making phone calls and make some car sales. With that I decide I better start writing about my daily work out journal!

It's about 4:45 AM, my phone hasn't gone off yet. My work out partner normally has sent a text saying she left or she is on her way or saying hey I am here. I just shrug my shoulders. Close my eyes and my alarm is going off! 5 AM, another day. Still nothing! ( I have been known to sleep through my phone going off) I roll over and pick up my phone and make a phone call.

Ring, ring , ring! "Hey, I am almost there. I took a different route."
"Alright I am getting dressed"

Socks, underwear, shorts, t-shirt... All thrown on then shoes... Go to the front door, forget my keys. Go back to my room and grab it. Go to the vehicle. A banana and water are waiting for me. I eat the banana. Drink some water.

We drive to the gym. ( Yes I pay for a gym membership. Space is limited at my house and its too muggy to workout, outside! )  We go inside and set up. Its 5:20. ( I also want to thank my work out partner for being super patient with me in the morning. I tend to be super sluggish and never am on time. After 7 AM I will be on time) DVD is in the laptop, we start doing our workout!

God, its so intense. Run, jump, sweat, push up, more sweat! God. Why the hell did I decide to work out! Well I want to get fit and have a 6 pack! Now, I am not the first who is going to say this nor will I be the last, but I hate to work out! HATE IT! But, I want to be healthy and fit.

 I feel that I put blood, sweat and tears into everything I do so when I work out, I kill myself to push through. Heart rate 190 I am pouring sweat... Breathing super heavy and when I finished I don't think sweet, yay I am the man. I think THANK GOD!!! I am done! Also, I don't work out for myself. I work out for the people in my life who want me to succeed in everything I do ( Thank you everyone!)

Once done, I grab some paper towels. Wipe down, pack up and go home... I eat a cliff bar and drink a muscle milk! Then I head into my room its about 6:15 now. I lay down and put on some hypnosis to start my day positively. My alarm goes off at 7:15... Get up shower, shave. Get dress. Feeling alive, feeling awake. Feeling proud that I took the time to improve myself!
