Fake It Til You Make It
I'm just trying to stay busy and really put the focus on my career until I'm able to focus on the gym again.
Learning to Respect Differences
It is not someone's responsibility to explain themselves to you, it's your responsibility as a human to learn about people, ask questions, get to know someone etc.
Flexible Dieting
But for me, these little victories mean everything, and I'm going to celebrate every single one.
Let the Fun Begin
I like to think I'm in a really really good place, and it's time I start treating myself with the kindness I've been preaching, only this time it's about my body.
A Little Bit of Everything
What I'm really trying to get at is the idea of accepting and trusting the timing of your life.
Sickness
This is the first time I've been legitimately sick in probably 8-10 years. Like, flu, fever, all that jazz. I spent 3 days laying in bed, only eating about 10 crackers. Thank god for gatorade, because I have no idea how I would've survived. I joke, kind of...but seriously. Wanna get small? Just get sick. […]
Log #5: Christmas Eve Gym Sesh and Holiday Things
It's weird to think about how the holidays are already changing.
Log #1: Fixing My Back...But For Real This Time
I guess today, I GUESS, I accept that I'm not going to just magically wake up one morning without back pain.
Down With The Sickness
Ever have those days where you're just really not feeling well, but you go to the gym anyway?
Gymnast-y Things
It is no surprise, or at least shouldn't be to anyone who knows me, that I still can't lift.
Work On Yourself, From the Inside Out
How do you get past that...the emptiness you feel, even when you reach the goals that you set for yourself?
Finally, A Legitimate Plan
And for the first time in the history of EVER, I am trying something new for my training.
Buffalo Fit Expo
Although I'm pretty bummed about not getting to see all of my teammates and participate at the seminar, I thought this was a really good opportunity to meet new people, learn, and be there for my friend.
Boss of Bosses 3 — A Failed Water Cut, The Setback, Meet Day, What'...
This weekend I cried more tears than I thought were possible. It was emotional, the entire thing, from start to finish. But, it's something I had to do, for me.
1 Week Post Meet
I still haven't touched a barbell., still haven't stepped foot in a gym. I still have a lot of back pain doing simple things, like getting out of bed, or bending over to pick something up. Updates to come, and an X-Ray, soon.
Last Training Session Before BOB3
It'll be interesting to see how everything plays out next weekend, but for now, I will rest.
80% Bench
I was a little hesitant to bench today, because of my back pain, but bench went extremely well, considering I couldn't deadlift two days ago. I hit all of these reps, paused, because that's what I do before every meet. Bench: 220x3 paused 185x2x5 pause presses Side Raise: 10x10 & 15x10 Rear Raise: 10x12 & […]
Deadlifts and Back Pain
I'm not really sure what happened, or what is wrong, but I had a lot of back pain today.
90% Squats
Sometimes all you really need is for someone else to believe in you, more than you believe in yourself. I mean, sadly, I feel like this is my life story. Today was one of those days, again. I tend to go on the more conservative side when it comes to picking weight attempts, often […]
A New Gym
Gosh I just love being able to train in different gyms. Don't get me wrong, I love the gym I'm currently at 2 out of my 3 training days. However, I just love feeling out new places and switching it up on the weekends, it's like a breath of fresh air. I primarily go to […]
Deadlift PR
So, I haven't hit a "lifetime PR" or whatever in the gym since I lost all of this weight...until tonight. YAY. Warming up I just had no idea what to expect. 405 was easy, 435 was easy, and then Yessica helped me out and just loaded 465 and didn't tell me, and even that wasn't […]
Squatz
"I hate squats." My go-to, whiny statement before every single squat session. Really though, why do I "hate" them. Aside from the annoyance of getting wrapped for 5 heavyish sets, I really just hate them because they're my worst lift. Oh I know, how bratty of me to hate them just because I'm not good […]
