you just have to mentally tell yourself, that’s it. I’m determined for these goals and nothing is going to stop me, I won’t hinder my own progress. Recently, a coworker friend decided to join me at the gym, she’s working in with my sets (surprisingly it isn’t too bad). Normally, I don’t allow people into this lifting world of mine, I’m focused and do NOT like being distracted.  I’ve also learned by now that my best workouts are done first thing in the morning to start my day. Monday’s are difficult, I picked up a morning job that I have to be on the other side of town early by (this is LA-other side of town could mean the next city), so I’m forced to hit the gym after I get off that day, usually by noon or 1. Shit time to be at the gym. Good thing is, Monday’s are international chest day and I do glutes, yay. Ok, so..today, 2 more (different) coworkers show to work in with me.  It was a little pain bc of the length of time it took BUT I will say that having them there wouldn’t allow me to take too long between sets. Aaaaaand um hello?  I cant be looking like an ass,  struggling with the iron. So it wasn’t too bad. As long as they don’t hinder my workout, I’m cool with it, at least for now. 

Saturday I did crossfit and the WOD was partners, , 3 sets of 7 AMRAP in a minute….5 burpees EMOM, 10 toes to bar and 10 wall balls. The toes to bar shredded my calluses, forced them to split and peel off, and bleed. Fucking ow. My hands are wrapped to be able to lift and lol-people are looking at me scared, everyone’s jumping outa my way. Made my sumo deads interesting today. No gloves, no straps. All me. Proud of that. 

Moving on and back to that accountability I mentioned yesterday. Usually I weigh myself in the mornings after I’ve eaten meal 1 for consistency. Since I don’t have a scale at home, that wasn’t possible until I had 2 meals in. Here we have it 

  
That reads 169. Cool with it but my clothes are not, so today begins a new venture. Dropping those pounds. Who knows, I may change my mind when my body starts changing.  I’ll update as I see fit. Every few days, every day?  Use this to keep me mentally on point when I feel like cheating?  Thanks for being there 😊👍

Gots to go prep my salad for my next meal. It’s delicious, don’t let the term fool you. Then I get to go to job #2 for the evening. Eating right isn’t easy when you’re always on the go, prioritize and plan ahead. #LetsGo
