Getting back into the mix
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!

I don’t blame you for slacking, but glad to see your back at it. Keep it up and God bless.

Sean, this is a very motivating blog. You keep strong. I know times will not be easy in the Desert. Rely on your inner strength. Make it happen. Grow in all areas.
Just remember, for the dedicated, there are NO boundaries.
Take good care of yourself.

I went through the exact same thing…I’m also deployed right now. The difference is you were in way better shape than I was before my deployment. Now I’m trying to get into the best shape of my life…God bless and keep up the hard work…I know I will do the same!

I know how you feel, I go through phases like that. It’s like back pedaling. :\
Good luck! Keep up the good work.
