Two a Days. What a fun Idea...NOT


 Pain is Progress.

    No Pain No Gain they say in the gym. It's crazy that over the past 11 days my body has been making insane changes and my mindset has changed from "I don't want to do that," to "I want to challenge myself more this time."
    I have been told the first 30 days in the gym are erratic and spontaneous for your body. In the same conversation I was told to not look at the scale; to not look at my body for progress... To just keep pushing and doing what I'm doing. I have removed Sodas from my died COMPLETELY and i have reduced sugar probably 80-90%. I removed Fast Food from the menu, (Even when my wife tempted me with McDonalds Breakfast.) Now the goal is the keep on keeping on.
   
    So Yesterday...oh yesterday....My Gym Partner and I decided we would double up, due to a missed day earlier in the week. We went to the gym at 8am and worked out Chest. We then met back up at the gym at 6pm and worked Bicep and Triceps, (yes both muscles in the arms!) The problem wasn't going in the morning, that was fine. The problem was the motivation to go again in the evening. To know that i was going to push myself just as hard as I did in the morning while my body was already working on repairing a different muscle group.
    We persevered and returned to the gym to work arms. The beautiful thing about going to the gym when your sore is, After you do a warm up set your body starts to give you what you need in the places you need it. My chest was still fatigued from the morning workout but as soon as i started warming up for arms, i could feel the blood pumping. I was ready to go and all doubt, fear, or hesitation left my mind and it was time to pump.

  The Reason for this post, Is to let you know that when your mind tells you that your body needs a break, you can push past the mental block and your body will correct. I have told myself multiple times throughout this journey that I don't feel like it this time... But in EVERY situation my body was able to push through it all and I walked away feeling accomplished.

Oh and I weighed myself on Friday and I'm down to 304.4! Progress

    On another note, My wife joined the gym last night and i believe she is about to embark on her journey. If you want to start, or have already started on your journey... Leave a comment below. I'd Love to know how its going and help motivate you the way this blog has motivated me.

Its been a While.

      Its been a while.     Sorry I haven't taken the time to fill you guys in on what has happened in my life as a Gym Rat. I originally started this blog with the intent to KEEP myself in the gym. I wanted a group of people to see my blog posts, become invested, and give me another reason to push myself to continue showing up in the gym and doing the things that are uncomfortable. I wanted to motivate myself, and through my motivation I wanted to use this platform to motivate and inspire others... Unfortunately, I found myself completely motivated and strayed away from the idea of motivating and inspiring others and I am sorry for this. UPDATE    I COMPETED IN A POWER-LIFTING MEET! I took the past month off from losing weight because I was training to lift heavy weights. Its been a very fulfilling last couple of months! I spent countless hours watching videos and studying workout programs to understand what it took to compete in this field. I have progressed at such a rapid pace,

Health and Fitness... A Family Affair

 Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening wherever you may be I hope this Update finds you well. Since my last update, Hurricane Ian, though it passed, is still reeking havoc in my community. I wasn't affected personally with my family nor my property... My children have been out of school for the entire month of October. My Gym was closed but decided this week to reopen with a limited schedule. With the gym closed and the schools being out, my restless children decided they wanted to workout with dad.      My Gym partner invested in a set of dumbbells about a year ago so we were still able to get some work done to these hungry muscles. This allowed for a perfect opportunity to involve the kiddos in our workouts. (For the sake of privacy they will be referred to from Oldest to Youngest as 1,2,3,4,5) at first #3 was the only one actively interested in weight training. She came with me the first night and paid close attention to how we did our workouts. She listened with full atten

The Beginning

Image
Everyone has a moment when they look in the mirror and feel an overwhelming feeling of disgust, anger, or simple exhaustion due to the state they have allowed their body to become. Today was my day. I’m tired of being tired…I’m tired of binge eating because I’m “ already fat so what’s it gonna hurt.” I’m making a drastic shift in my lifestyle from day to day. I’m going to make the moves necessary to live a better life. I’m going to be better.  My goal for the next several months is to hold myself accountable and to allow the readers to understand that though I may be successful later; the process isn’t without blemish. I know I will have setbacks but with that, I will have victories. I hope that through my own struggle and progression, I can motivate and inspire whoever reads this to set out on their own journey.  Sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride as we go through this entire process together!
