Summary

Today, I woke up at 11AM. I could not sleep last night. I don’t know whether I should do something productive when I can’t sleep or just keep laying in bed staring beneath my eyelids. I wanted to drink my pre-workout so bad. I usually drink it first thing in the morning before I start working out, but I also wanted to be more aggressive with my fasting. Somehow, I think that I find it more intriguing on how much I can push myself. I look forward to trying to create discipline that I want in my life so I may enjoy life more better. I stepped outside in my same Adidas jacket basking in the warmth of the sun. Wow. Today’s weather definitely feels great!

I launched my app along with Charity Miles and I turned on my music that I usually listen to. During my run, I definitely felt like I was dying of thirst. Every moment I was thinking about how water could probably hydrate my body to run more efficiently. I also learned that when looking at the ground during your run; your body feels heavier. I looked towards the sky instead and imagined me running on those fully white clouds floating in the air. I was able to manage. I got home and took a selfie. Upon looking at my Instagram, I feel like all I do is take selfies. Oh well… I completed today somehow.

Summary

I woke up around 10AM. I feel like after I am being consistent and in the habit of working out, I should focus on having a set sleep schedule. Other than that, it was raining today. I decided to do my YAYOG program. Upon finishing and getting ready to go outside, I felt the raining hitting my face. I stood there on the porch debating whether I should just go back inside or just run. I decided to just run. A little rain wouldn’t stop me from my progress in being consistent. As the wind hit my face, I started wondering if these workouts are actually going well. I haven’t been actually tracking my calories that much. Heck, I haven’t even been seeing if I’m reaching my “macros”. Nonetheless, I’m going to take it one step at a time.

I felt good. I have to say that I’m slowly getting used to running outside. With everything going on, I do get a little paranoid that a car is watching me and just waiting to kidnap me or something. No matter where you are, you must be on guard for anything can happen even in the most unexpected place. I got home and decided that I was going to break this faster. After all, I was fasting for 21 hours. I grabbed 4 dates and chewed on them. I can’t believe I’m starting to love these. They do taste like raisins but a little more drier, if that makes any sense.

My mom came into my room telling me there is a lot of eggs in the room. Last night, I told her that I was going to buy 5 dozen eggs. I don’t think she knows I was attempting to eat a dozen eggs per day and then do a complete dry fast for 48 hours to lower my cholesterol levels. Unfortunately, I hate blood work so I wouldn’t even know how my levels are. I went in the kitchen to look at these eggs. As expected there wasn’t a lot, but I took action on grabbing at least 6 eggs. There was yellow tail fish made so I wanted to add eggs with it as well. I saw in a YouTube video the other day with a guy eating oats and banana. I went into the pantry to grab the Quaker plain oats that I haven’t touched in forever. I proceed to throw sliced banana inside with Hershey drizzle. I was craving some kind of sweet. I have to say… it tasted horrible.

My stomach was a little full. Actually, it’s those moments when the food is good and you reach the point where you’re just trying to stuff it down. It’s not enjoyable and every bite makes you want to just cringe. Oh well. That’s my meal for the day. I did, however, drop 2lbs from yesterday. I’m starting to just not let the scale get to me too much. I expect it to go up and down each day.

Becoming a Free Athlete

I was supposed to go running. I didn’t get to. I’m disappointed in myself. Even though I’m disappointed, I at least finished my body weight workouts. I’m quite proud of that. I’m proud that no matter what, I will do it no matter how much I have to pushing myself to continue. Sure… I may still have problems doing a full set of workouts at certain times, but I’m doing this for me. I’m competing against my own self so that I may become who I know I should become.

Instead of cowardly running away from challenges. I’m hoping that I can learn to embrace them. I am hoping that no matter how much I have to break my outer shell, I’ll end up looking forward to becoming my best self. What about you? If you feel like you are not getting anywhere in life, then I’d say start exercising. You may of not have exercised before or done it in so long, but just get your body to create momentum so it knows that you are willing to do anything to accomplish your dreams and aspirations.

Freeletics – Week 2 Day 4 – Pulling

So I actually wasn’t able to workout for the past couple of days. Rather, I think I was just too lazy and I’m actually just making the excuse of why I did not work out. I went to work and while I was at work, I figured I mind as well do a workout routine. Even though I started in the middle of the week, it was better than waiting a whole week to pass to do it on a Monday.

I open my app excited thinking to myself that this workout was going to be easy. After all, I had to do lunges before the main program. Easy.

After I got done, I proceeded the full workout routine and noticed all I had to do was pullups and pushups. Mind you that, pull-ups are my weakness. That and legs. I ended up taking 25 minutes to finish the program. I took so many breaks because my arms were on fire. I still managed to finish though.

No matter how long it takes you to complete something. Always be persistent and follow through.

Freeletics – Day 2 – Live Your Dreams

I just completeled Freeletics day 2, and even though I started back from scratch I’m more confident in finishing the workouts. The reason why I had to start over is because the workout seems too hard especially after a long break of not doing anything. I mean I tried, but I guess I still have to develop that drive that I need in order to push myself beyond my limits. I think what’s been helping me out the most is books. There’s something about reading that allows me to grow mentally that allows me to push all aspects of what I want to achieve.
