First workout of the New Year this morning.
It was rough getting outta the house – 5:15am, pitch black, cold and pouring rain – but once I got there I was glad I did it.
Today was chest, biceps, triceps and abs. I dropped 20lbs off all my previous weights, so as to not over do it my first time back out. I clearly made the right decision, cuz I’m still feeling it!
I wish I could say it was fun. It wasn’t. But it’s not fun being sluggish and being squeezed into your clothes either.
Listen, if I can do this you can do this. A little really does go a long way. Get out there, lift heavy things. Push yourself. It sucks mightily at first, then you’ll wonder why you went so long without it!
We’ve got a lot of missed time to make up for. The last couple years have put a hurting on a lot of people for a lot of reasons, and there is nothing on the horizon telling us this year is gonna be much better.
Better to face adversity with a clear head and a strong body right?
And like it or not, fitness is one of those things you simply can’t outsource. It’s up to you to make the best possible version of you. Nobody is going to do it for you.
Ok, I’ll get off my soapbox now. I wrote that as much for ME as I did for my readers – I’ve got a lot of ingrained laziness to overcome!
Thanks for stopping by!
