This weigh in is from this morning. I'm back on the diet and I've been following it closely, though I've nibbled on a few cheat items here and there. Even though I had a double serving protein shake and a scoop of Peanut Butter this morning, I was still hungry by the time I got to work and ended up caving to eat a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich (which was delicious). I ate 2 builder bars and 2 cups of chili for lunch as well.
I'm just going to skip cheat days until I achieve a sub 200lbs weight. I'm tired of being so close and never making it there. I'm adding some cardio to my night-time routines: a mile of HIT sprints/cool down jogs on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and a long farmer's walk with two 50 lb kettlebells on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Once I repair my bike on Thursday, I'm also going to add in a 7 mile bike ride to work every morning Monday-Friday. This is all in addition to the three sets of kettlebell swings I'm doing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
I don't care what it takes: I'm losing this damn weight. My body is going to be cut like diamond. Some of you may be asking - why? Why? Because I'm tired of going by in life everyday with pipe dreams of who I want to be in the future. in my imagination, I always see myself as an alpha male - one who is educated and articulate in his speaking, graceful and courteous in his actions, fair in his decision making, and strong and sexy as all hell in his physical appearance. If I am not actively engaged in pursuing this dream, then it's never going to happen. We as human beings must constantly strive to go beyond our insecurities and barriers to reach our full potential, and upon reaching this potential, we should push it further. I do not want to live a stagnant life and then die - fuck that. While I am alive, I want to max out.
Anyways, enough of my ranting. But for any of you people who are out there reading this and need that extra motivation to take control of your lives - you can do it. Your existence is only what you make of it. Do not let your fear control you. Sure, there will be pain, discomfort, and stress. But PUSH through the obstacles and you will become stronger, better, wiser, and closer to your ideal self. You and I have barriers to bust the fuck down, so let's do it DAMNIT!!!
I believe in you all!
