Welcome to my twisted mind!

Ok, I’m gonna write about sensitive subject so there’s gonna be some of you out there who will find themselves offended a bit and start crying but I just cant listen to this anymore.

I’m sick of listening ppl say "I can’t", "I’m trying but nothing happens" and other excuses I’m sure all of us hear from ppl around us. They see me change and they want to do the same, but somehow they won’t do what it took me to get where I’m now.

"You are crazy, it’s not human, we need to eat carbs and fats not to get sick…Too much exercise…Blah, Blah" on and on they go and I just get to the point where I want to vomit in there face(but I don’t cuz I paid for that protein I just ate and my body needs it..LOL).

They give me explanations about how their genetics wont allow them to be thin, how they got bad joints and cant do cardio, how their life is to busy for fitness and how "even if I drink only water I get fat from it"…PLEASEEE!!!

I tell everybody same thing!!

Maybe if you invested all that time you put in making excuses and whining into cardio session or prepare meals ahead of time we wont be having this convo…Maybe if you realize that you can do anything you put your mind into you find yourself motivated and losing weight or achieving whatever your goal is. Maybe if you don’t convince yourself I spent fortune on some kind of magic pill or injection then you too will realize it is possible to do it! Maybe if you pull your socks up and tighten your skirt and stop being Nancy and actually do what you set yourself to do you will see some progress…

Maybe it’s just me, but I hate excuses…Yes, I got fat cuz I didn’t exercise and I ate like horse…NOT from drinking water.

Yes, I jeopardize my health by becoming pile of lard, but it was of my own making. I didn’t blame no one else but me for it. And I knew that that same ME can get me outa that mess…And it did!!!

Believe in yourself, have faith in your will to endure and finish your journey. Only you can do it…Only you can sabotage yourself from doing it!!!! I’ll repeat…"WETHER YOU THINK YOU CAN OR YOU THINK YOU CAN’T YOU ARE RIGHT!!!"

And its soooo true. Believe you can…And then go and do it. Make it happen for yourself, your family and world around you!!!!And when you done, on the top of that mountain put your arms up and shout as loud as you can…"I DID IT CAUSE I CAN!!!!!! WATCH FOR ME PPL CUZ NOTHING IS STOPING ME NOW!!!!"

To everyone who I helped with this blog I wish good luck and all the best.

To everyone I might piss off with this…Well…I feel sorry for you..Hope you find inner strength.

I know there’s not too much latter ppl cuz since you already  on bb.com it means you making necessary changes already and you left your excuses behind you….

CHEERS!!!!

Whoever say genetics are not as important as hard work is fooling themselves.

Please, I’m not saying that you cant make the best of what you have been given, but some ppl just have it easier then others…

Take my workout partner for example…HE is RIPPED…And I mean RIPPED!!! But cant put mass on. HE can slowly but then he skips few meals or gets sick and he’s back to square one.

Today I had a guy and a girl approach me and ask me abt my leg workout program…I was on eliptic for 45 mins and I’m just blessed with my calves and legs in general. They were standing there watching(I could see them in window reflexion) and waiting for me to finish. I’m ashamed to say, but I never do legs…If I do, I cant fit in my jeans…They get more then enough work from cardio(me weighing around 250lbs) and thats it. But how do I tell them that. They gonna think I’m lying. That I wont share "big secret" with them…So I went ahead and made up decent leg workout program and told them its what I religiously do. It’ll work for them…I just don’t need it.  They were happy and I was relieved.

We are all different. I wish I had fast metabolism, but I put fat (also muscle) on fast. I have to watch closely what I eat. Do a lot of cardio. It’s a curse really. But I got to work with what I got. Dont be fooled and follow someone elses routine or diet. Create your own. That works for YOU! Trial and error is a must but its the only way…

Good luck with your goals everybody and stay strong(and geneticaly blessed)

Cheers!!

Ok, today I had it in the new gym…Do you know those guys(or girls) that come all with "superstar" attitude, all done up and ready to ruin everybody elses workout?!?!?!!? Well it turns out every gym has them…Today it was Mr. Van Damme Wannabe…Shaved head(looks like lightbulb but who asks me??) "mean" tatoos…Snakes mostly…Tank top, track pants and balet shoes…On roids, of course! Unfortunately my gym has sound system and plays XM hard rock tunes most of the time…I say unfortunately, cuz it also has an option of playing CD’s one might bring from home…Now, I go late when not too many ppl are there so every time he asks politely if we would mind him playing his CD and every time I(we) feel sorry for the poor bastard and we let him get his way…And then we get soft techno torture for hours…I don’t mind it but it’s not my choice of music for hardcore workout…Then he goes on and kicks the bag with some kind of hollywood round kicks and whatnot…Irritated yet?? I need to tell you that location of punching bag is in the middle(?!?!?!) of the gym. Right in the middle?!?!?! So now we all withness his art of showoff and all while moving our butts to the Robert Miles tunes….I have I-pod and all, but that is not the point!!!!!!! I had it today…That needed to stop!! So I changed thing back to radio and suggested that maybe he should invest in I-pod and be the only person wearing it insted of all the rest of us doing so…I guess he saw me and my partner working the bag before cuz he didnt complained too much.

Everywhere I go to workout there’s someone who needs attention or to pick up girls or whatever else anoying they think of doing…I mean…C’mon!!! Ppl come to the gym to do their thing…Leave them be!!!!

At least I do….Maybe I’m wrong…MAybe I take this too seriously!!!

Comments welcome!!!

I had REALLY down time yesterday…Personal problems got in the way. I wont go and tell what happened but I was extremely low drive and shity mood… Somehow I dragged my depressed ass to the gym and started doing calves. Did good but mood hasn’t change…Then my partner came and we did 60mins on treadmill on 8m/h pace… Then drenched in sweat we moved onto the heavy punching bag and did 10 3minute rounds each on it…He was quiet, didn’t ask me nothin’ but was aware something aint right…After 7th round he just said "I can see something is wrong but I’m not even gonna ask…Sometimes you scare me , man!!" hahahaha

When we were done, pool of sweat was on the floor under the bag and we both looked like dogs in a rain…Even my socks were soaked.

Went to the steam room and then shower and voila!! New man came out the gym. Like sweat washed all problems away. I felt like somebody else. And it was great. I left my problems behind and its all good now.

I hope everybody had better weekend then I did and that all is good.

Catch you latter on BB

Cheers

Today was not a very good day. Rainy, a lot of stress at work, house is for sale, buyers and agents coming in and out, my son had tubes put in both ears yesterday and was feeling very cranky today…All in all one of those days that will be soon forgotten.

My energy level was low, cuz of low carbs and cardio I’m doing…I had plans for tonight, go blow some steam out but they turned to s**t and were cancelled…It wasn’t getting any better.

You know what I did??

Instead of going to McDonalds or other fast food place(I use to before) overeat and find some kind of comfort in cheating I went to my gym, did abs(hanging leg raises, ball crunches, weighted crunches and oblique side dumbell pulls) calves(I got 600lbs on that machine for last 2 sets and banged 14 reps each set) and then I ran on treadmill for 45 mins…

And you know what?

I feel great now. Came home, had protein shake with glutamine and banana and a lot of water and I feel like million bucks. Honestly! If I gave in and had big meal or sweets I would be happy only for that short moment, but instead I did what I should do and I feel great about it.

Just wanted to share this with everybody. Maybe it helps you make that choice next time!

Peace out and keep strong in and out of the gym!!!!

AS fast as I got my rotator cuff problem back, now its gone…As if I was dreaming or something…It feels fresh and strong, I did back full speed and also arms yesterday and had no problems with it. I’m very thankfull for it cause it was major pain and it was limiting me even with everyday tasks let alone gym…

So from now on, WARM UP A LOT before workout, and not go super heavy on chest days…Avoid declined and flat bench press and I should be fine.

I need to find energy to get up in the morning every day and do cardio tho…I work 12 hrs shifts from 7 to 7 and then I rest till 8-9 then hit the gym and after weights and cardio I get home around 10:30-11:00, eat my postworkout meal(last one of the day) and hit the sack. BUt after all that it’s hard to get up early(5:30) do cardio for 45-60mins, shower, eat and prep my meals for that day…All before 7. I always had problems managing my time but this is just a little too much for me. But I know I have to find the strenght and do it. I know I can. And I will.

IF anyone can help with any suggestions that would make my life easier please advise. I know I’m not alone in this, we all are here because we are doing the same thing. So…All comments welcome!!

HAve a great day everyone and keep strong!!

I’ll catch you latter!

My rotator cuff joint pain is officially back and here to stay…It’s annoying and it limits my workouts but worst of it all it affects my sleep. I toss and turn and every time I change sides while sleeping it wakes me up. I take supplements for pain and sleep but last couple of night were sleepless.

I did flat bench press after a long time of avoiding it and that did it…I thought shoulder was ok but I was wrong. On my 3rd set of heavy press I felt the pain and I knew I did it again…I warmed up very good, then with light weights pyramiding up with weight and regardless it happened.

Now I got to work around this again because stopping with training for months is just not an option for me. I hope it’ll be ok and that I won’t have to sacrifice much in terms of training and weights I’m using but it’s still making me not be 100%.

If anybody have any suggestions regarding this or similar experience please advise.

I guess it’s just another obstacle I’ll have to overcome to reach my goal…So bring it on! I’m ready!!
