So today I took a pre workout that got me all ready for the gym. I went in with several ideas that I wanted to do but couldn’t land on one. I finally decided to do this upper body routine that one of my friends (another trainer) showed me. With my chest ready to quit, my back wondering when it was gonna be over, and my shoulders screaming at me trying to break my will, I finally finished the routine. I had written out a workout for a friend and when I went to check on them I found that they were only in the middle of their routine. So it was time for abs. Some crunches here and there, some planks, and V-ups. Went back to check on them again - still working, sweatin, telling me it was a good workout. I made sure their form was good and spot a few exercises, the longer i stood there the more jealous I became.
They finally finished and I was thinking “there is no way they’re doing more than me, time for intervals” - 30s exercises w/ 15s rest. I only had the first 4 exercises planned out, the rest I came up with on the spot. 40 minutes later I finally stopped.
It’s nice to see that I’m finally in shape and that I feel I can pretty much handle whatever is thrown my way, especially since this is light day. Tomorrow is gonna be tough, gotta make sure I’m ready for MMA training, heavier weights, and clients with endurance.
So today was a pretty good day. Did a lot of driving and had some good food and conversations. Also did a little exploring and found out some stuff from the past that I’m pretty sure was indirectly focused on me but not in much of a positive way. I just like it when people think they know something about you and feel the need to express that opinion. The moment is passed and hell ya it makes me mad but - what do ya do? Oh well, I guess that time will eventually come and we’ll see where that answer lands.
And yes I am just venting a little, nothing serious.
Ugh … I also have work tomorrow. If only I could find a reason to love going into this job like I do my other one.
So we are still w/out power at work but as of 11 pm last night our bathroom sink broke off the wall somehow and flooded the basement. So now our workplace has black mold and a wonderful smell that fills the entire workplace.
So we had to call in the pro’s to come clean it up, but while all this is happening we still have to meet at the shop and now our clients have to wait outside since the air in the building isn’t a safe for them. Since we can’t get inside the plaza that we work in always is willing to pitch in and help. You don’t really think about a bathroom as such a big thing until you don’t have one.
It’s just nice knowing that we are a community that cares and that is willing to help us with our basic needs. The gratitude that we have is much greater than we can actually share (or at least I speak for myself).
So today along with everyone else in the area we went to work to find there was no power. So we waited for the few clients that were going to show up to let them know to head back home. We finally were walking out the door to head home for a nice day off when we were informed that our VA sister site needed extra staff - yup, that meant us. So we went to help out only to get put into rooms with no instruction on the structure of the program or anything else.
Anyways, the whole point is sometimes you go to work and thing “man this was a shitty day”, or maybe you just aren’t satisfied with how things are run or whatever and sometimes we loose site of the blessings that we already have and how great things may be. So every now and then, doesn’t matter when - just think about what you do have, and if it’s about a job just think about how many people don’t. We really do have it good
So I joined Balley’s the other day since Gold’s closed down, it was nice to be back in a gym again especially since I’ve been on the abs diet. I’m used to being the small guy in the gym, I always have been and I know that I’m not in the best shape right now but DAMN! I walked in there and felt like I was in a training room for Gears (gears are the soldiers that are in the video game Gears of War - and they’re huge). Every guy in there, even ones shorter than me were just F@#$%^& huge. Lets just hope this rubs off on me and I can finally get back to my old self again.
Just grilled up fish and steak and had fish tacos and carne asada. Grilled tortilla’s, homemade salsa, and much more deliciousness - perfect!
Finding out I love “A perfect Circle”
