Trying to balance out my days

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

So, the work eats 9 hours of my day, plus 2 to go there and come back. I’ve got two off days, but one is always on Sunday when gym does not work :(
One solution: Workout on off day and then go to gym on before work some other day. Also I want to lower my working out to 2 times instead of 3, because my goal is to gain…. I work with tiles and other heavy stuff in my job 8 hours a day. I wont workout biceps and lower back, because those parts of body gets good amount of work daily now (talking about tons now :D ). I’ll solve the eating problem soon too. Lots of protein shakes, apples and something else will help me.

I’m slowly overcoming obstacles.. whohoo  :D

Obstacles

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Ok, as usual in this world, there will always be obstacles…. And guess what! A new one just popped out to me…

Today I got hired for a job. Physical one. And I’ll be working from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Sometimes from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.  And then I will have to spend at least 3 hours a day additionally on my studies (I study law… and now comes the time when you need to be a nerd for a while). Then there are my beloved workouts. Now I’ve got to figure out a way to incorporate all 3 into my day. In the past, I’d have probably abandoned working out and focused on work and studies. But I now that most successful people when having these kind of problems, they always ask themselves HOW to get ALL. If they have to choose between earning more money or working the job they love, they choose to have BOTH… So, I now ask myself how to balance out all the 3 things..

On the bright side, I know will earn money for myself, for workouts, food and clothes. I will also learn something new there, which will help in my future…

Ok, I will finish eating and then get my butt to the gym and bust it good there. Maybe later I will find a good way to overcome my small obstacle.

Another workout

Monday, May 26th, 2008

Worked out with a friend today. Kinda helped me and showed some exercises and spotting was big help. And because I tried to bench press my max - 60kg. Nope…couldn’t make it. 55kg would have worked but not 60kg. YET. I repeat YET. I will be bench pressing  60kg soon!!! I Will! Trained chest, triceps, legs, traps and abs today.

Waiting for Wednesday, back/biceps, delts, abs coming them :)

I WILL!!!

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

I just read one guy’s blog (benny5, I believe) and it inspired me to create myself a daily mantra. A blog post to read daily as a type of affirmation! I’ll include quotes from some other blogs (like Melinda F, maybe Mr.Arries and others). From now on I’ll read this every single day.

.

.

.
I am doing everything in my power to be the best I can be - and hopefully better - I will let nothing stop me, no matter what! I will fight through all the battles life hands me and realize that I am the one that will, can and does make things happen for myself - and no obstacle shall stand in my way, nor will I let them!

I have a positive attitude which means not only thinking in terms of possibilities and expecting the best, but also TAKING positive actions to achieve positive results. It means that even when I encounter failure, I don’t lose my faith, but try again and again until I succeed. Positive attitude means doing,acting and trying no matter what the circumstances are!!!

I want to be somebody! I want to set and reach my goals! Whether it is gaining weight, getting better grades at university or following my dreams and improving myself daily. Once I set a goal, I’ll reach it! I will succeed because I choose to. I’ll make mistakes, there will be set backs probably, no matter what, I will overcome all obstacles, learn from my mistakes, I will persevere. I am worth it and I’m strong enough to do it!!

My greatest enemy was always myself, not others. Not parents, not friends, not enemies, not my genes, not that I’m not tall enough  or handsome enough… I am responsible for my life and where I’m headed. I always knew I was holding back, thought something was holding me back. But it was me, me being young, immature, afraid of mistakes and wanting to be perfect. And this quote is what opened my eyes:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate; our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Marianne Williamson

That’s me. I have that light. Always had it. It was hidden mostly, now it’s not. I will develop it, I will make it bigger and brighter. I will follow my dreams and they will come true. And I will help others by doing this. I will be friend who will be there when he is needed! I will make people’s days, I will make people smile. I will help them grow.

I will find balance in my life. I will learn how to be very very successful in life. I know I am worth it!!! I was born to be successful, to be great! I know that "the difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not the lack of  knowledge, but rather a lack of Will". Will is what I have. I will strengthen it even more. Bodybuilding will help me do that.

I will never stop improving myself. I will be better tomorrow than I was today. I’ll be my own best!!! NOTHING WILL STAND IN MY WAY!!

Strength, soreness and endorphines!

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Today I had last workout of the this first week. Yeah!!! I feel good…. :D Soreness in legs almost over (but still didn’t want to train them today). Monday will be leg day ( ohhh my….) Gonna work out those babies.

Strength is coming back nicely cuz I bench pressed about 50kilos today. It either was 47,5 or 50.. Anyway, way more than 40 which was my small goal today. On third series I benched 50 kilos 3 times so there is still room to progress. I guess my max now would be about 55-57 kilos, almost 60kg I had a year ago.

And finally, that feeling when endorphines are released is great. God I love it :D DD

Looking forward to monday already!!!

2nd workout!! Strength coming back

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Yeah!! Look like I’m regaining my strength pretty fast. Trained with good intensity because I was finished in 45 minutes. Legs are still killing me though from monday. Other parts recover faster.

Training feels so great… and esp. pump right after workout, I can actually see how my body is bigger by a centimeter. It goes away of course but I’m getting really optimistic about my ability grow muscles :)

Back in a gym on friday. Till then I hope my legs will stop being so sore..

I joined a gym!!! YEAH, baby!!!!! But….

Monday, May 19th, 2008

So today I joined a gym after a year long period of not working out. And man I am weak… No stamina whatsoever… my strength I had grown back when I was working out is gone with the wind… I wouldn’t be able to bench press 60kilos now… 50 kg would be miracle :( So, bad news - I’m weak and have hell of a lot to go through and good news is - I took a step forward and joined a gym starting my journey that way.

Also, the gym I joined is … wow… old school could I say? Probably. Not much space, old rusty equipment and NO GIRLS!!! That kinda shocked me, they work out separately. Good thing about that is there are no distractions. The gym doesn’t cost too much so it’s worth the price.
Gotta go eat now and start thinking about making myself a program.

P.S. DAMN MY LEGS HURT, barely could use the stairs after workout :D Gonna be sore in the morning.

Joining gym on Monday!!! Yeah.. :))) and thanx BB.com for BodySpace

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Got the money and gonna join gym on monday and start working my as.s off there. I now need to figure out nutrition and how to manage those 5-6 times to eat a day.

I also now officially now that my endurance level - SUCKS!!And I really hate cardio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( (( But right after I gain my pounds I’m gonna hit cardio to gain endurance.

And finally, BodySpace is a great great thing. Nice to see so much people trying(and succeeding) to improve themselves. BB not only helps body but mind and soul too…  It’s great to see transformations from skinny skinny guy like myself to bulked up, chiseled guy who could now become a freakin’ model. I plan to do it myself ;D

So thanx BB.com fr BodySpace

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Ok, so here I am sitting here in evening starting my BodySpace. Looks like great thing! Gotta get some pictures of me and join a gym as soon as possible. I’m gonna make myself a training program tomorrow to work at home ’till I join a gym. I have a few dumbells and I’m planning to work out at least 3 times a week.

I’m student now, don’t work currently so I have time to work out or go for a bike ride these days.

So my nearest goals:

Create a training program

Create a little nutrition program

Workout at home 3 times a week

Join a gym

Cheers
