Love My Biceps
Friday, July 24th, 2009I did some arnolds last night before bed and woke up feeling my biceps and pecs. I’ve been reading a lot about mindfulness in my efforts to improve my mood, and physical mindfulness feels just as rewarding. Being aware of my muscles when I stretch at the office, feeling my legs burn when I walk up the stairs to my apartment - it reminds me that I did a good job yesterday; it reminds me that I’m alive.
To keep up the momentum, I’m going on a little fitness shopping spree after work. I need supplements, an exercise ball to replace my desk chair, a yoga dvd for cool-down, and a cute new workout outfit for my progress pics at the end of each month, starting in August. Getting back to recording everything also helps me keep focused. I can see where I need to focus (water, lighter snacks) and where I’m doing well (breakfast, weights). I don’t intend to let myself fall back in a slump again, so I’ve made a promise to myself to post here every day, even if it’s just my log. I need to keep myself surrounded by positive people. If you guys can get ripped, with jobs and families and obligations, so can I!
