While out here in the desert I’ve found that my passion for fitness has grown enormously!  But I do have my days where I just don’t feel like working out.  Take yesterday for instance.  I got off work and had a B-Ball game I had to play in.  After the game I stayed and watched others play.  I knew I had to work out but I just didn’t feel like it.  Lately I’ve been taking my Rest days whenever I feel like as long as I work out at least 5 days a week.  I feel that’s wrong though.  I told myself I would be disciplined with my workouts when I got here and so I shall!  I got back to my room and jumped in bed only to get angry  after laying restless.  I got re-dressed and hit the weights and abs for a very good 1 and 1/2 hr workout!  Needless to say I’m sore this morning and loving every second of it!  If any of ya’ll ever get down on yourselves and say that you’ll just workout the next day instead, look at the big picture and focus on the prize!  It’ll pay off in the end!

Ya’ll have a good day,

Sean

So I’m not going to lie.  For about 2months prior to my deployment(which I’m on right now) I fell of my diet, training routine, and all around discipline.  I gave into the side which hung out late and went to fast food places and drank beers with friends because I wasn’t going to be back home for a while.  The worst things happened.  All the hard work that I had put into my workouts and myself had been thrown down the drain.  I started to lose the passion I had for the "lift" and didn’t have the ambition to workout anymore.  I remember the 1st day I got to the Desert and I just got done with a workout, went to the bathroom mirror and saw how I looked.  Usually everyone looks bigger after a good workout but I just looked out of shape.  I promised myself that I would use this deployment time to better myself in every aspect of my life and fitness.  For the last 2months I have been a monster.  I have lowered my bodyfat, got my 6-pack back, added some inches, and overall have just continuously done everything I can to make sure I’m disciplined with myself again!  I can honestly say that everytime I come onto this site and see friends working there asses off that it’s motivating!!!  People here make me want to better myself day after day!!!  I just wanted to thank you all for helping me find my love and passion again!
