Hey, everyone, it’s Sunday fun day and I feel amazing! Hopefully, you all got a chance to really enjoy your weekend and feel ready for Monday because ready or not it’s coming in the morning.lol. This has been a long week but very informative and I have learned a lot about my body and my mental strength. If you get a chance you should watch one of your favorite shows or go to your favorite park and read a book, go ahead and get that in someday is today homies!

The gym yesterday was cool but let’s just say I will do everything I can not to workout on Saturday! It was so damn full and I felt like people were just looking for me to hurry up every time I got on a machine.lol. Noone was mean or impolite but it was just so congested people had to basically lift slowly to wait till the next machine was available and that’s just craziness! I’m glad I was able to get the back and bicep workout done and add on a little here and there. Normally Wednesday is my hardest cardio day because that’s the day I take a break between lifting, however, this week after I had a hard cardio session the next day I weighed in at a stupidly low number so you already know I’m at it again today because Monday is the weigh-in for the week. Even though 530 was my end of the month weight I still have to make sure I keep going down for the weigh-in tomorrow! Soooo today I did 30 more flights of stairs and I will do my lower body workout with squats and leg lifts and stuff. My homie Moe has been doing wall pushups and he put me up on the game so I started them last Sunday so today I’ll knock out a few of those as well! I’ll try to get everything done pretty early so I can chill and watch a little ball today!

 

The carnivore diet ends after today and I can’t wait to eat some damn veggies tommorow.lol. Hopefully, my green smoothie won’t hit my tummy too hard since it’s been a whole week with no real fiber but I can’t wait. This way of eating has been really great and if I get stalled or anything I will certainly come back to it now that I got a little comfortable with it. The way I see it if I can have a week that I only eat meat then eating under 30 or so carbs a day should be more than doable ya know? I didn’t even have Longhorn this week and yall already know how I feel about my wings but I knew if I got them I would want a bomb side salad ha ha. Tomorrow I was thinking of not even fasting just wake up and eat every single piece of green leaf in this damn house for real! I’m so ready for some variety. My macros have been on point and I didn’t go over my 2500 calories at all so there that. I will say this I have never woke up in the morning feeling so light and empty as I have this week eating only meat, there’s definitely something to it for sure!

That’s all I got this morning homies The only thing left to say is I love you all very much, that I believe in all of your abilities to get done that which you set out to do. Oh and One last thing. If anyone tells you that you can’t do something I got your back tell them to comment on here and I’ll prove to them you can! We are in this together no matter what!

And here we are back to Friday and I hope you all are excited about the weekend! The end of the work week and now you get a chance to relax and enjoy some fun and comfort this weekend! Hopefully, you all have plans to do something you love to do this weekend. If you happen to work weekends that’s o.k too I hope you truly enjoy the days you have off this week no matter which ones. Time is the one thing we can never ever get back so please take time to do things for yourself and that bring peace and renewal to your spirit!

I have amazing news! So yesterday was the end of the month weigh in for me and I’m happy to report the great news! Since Monday I have lost 7 pounds doing this meat only diet isn’t that crazy? I have lost several inches around my waist and thighs and all the numbers look great! The most important thing is I feel really amazing! It really didn’t matter how much I lost(although I’m super happy) for me the most important thing is how I feel. It doesn’t do any good if we are improving and getting better if we don’t feel better! That’s such a big deal because when things don’t go our way or the scale doesn’t move it’s important that we can say we feel good! I’m very happy with my numbers this month and the fat loss so far but I can do better. Maybe not lose as much but I can do better with looking for times to do cardio and being more active in my everyday activities! I’m proud of myself because I feel like I am taking control of this part of my life and it has truly been a blessing to have a little success sprinkled in to help validate that I’m doing what’s necessary for my goals to get accomplished! Just an update to let yall know how the journey is going and I’ll be continuing to post my results weekly as well as monthly.

 

My body was absolutely exhausted yesterday so I took the day off from the gym and decided to lift today and Saturday so that I still get the work in. It’s chest day and I couldn’t be happier because with the extra rest I should be able to get that weight up and down will no problem.lol. The schedule this week has been crazy so I’m not sure if we are going to swim or not but I’ll make it up with the bike or stairs whatever it takes. I’ve noticed some cool changes with my body lately. The outline of the muscle that I have been toning is starting to come through and I know I feel a lot stronger than before! the gym has been a game changer for me and I know it’s not for everyone I would encourage anyone thinking about joining one to do so!

 

O.K. so my diet and all that meat I have been eating. This all meat thing is something that has obviously been very successful so far, I mean 7 pounds in 4 days is pretty crazy! The only problem I have is that I’m not sure how much credit the way of eating should get because I changed some other things. For instance, I have been drinking at least 80 to 100 o.z of water daily and that’s not normal for me but it’s important. On top of that, I have been doing stairs as apart of my routine which is something that’s fairly new. If you add those 2 things to the lifting I already do then I’m not sure how much the diet is responsible for. Let me say this, it seems that eating this way at least allows for my body to get into ketosis faster and when combined with intermittent fasting seems to have a great benefit. Again I can’t see me just eating meat for the long haul but it’s nice to have another tool in the fat loss toolbox ya know? Today I’ll break my fast with some shredded chicken breast that I have in the slow cooker as we speak. The plan is to shred it up and put it in a casserole dish and put cheese and pepperoni on top like a pizza! I saw it on Pinterest and I had to try it so I’ll let you know how it turns out. I’m not sure what we are having for dinner tonight but I think we are doing something else with chicken thighs, some type of soup or broccoli casserole maybe. I am extremely happy with the fat loss but honestly, I can’t wait to get some veggies in my life and that’s just not something I would ever normally say! Lmao.

 

Screenshot_20180323-083206.jpg

I just want to say thank you for all you have done to help me along this journey. The fact that you have all kept up with me and had words of encouragement humbles me to my core! Without a shadow of a doubt, this all would not be possible without the love and support and I just want to take this moment to say thank you all for being such a blessing in my life! Enjoy your weekend and please if I can be of service let me know!

I’m Doing What?

Middle of the week and the first 2 days blew by pretty quick! It is snowing here and they just called school off for like the 10th time so far this year! It’s not their fault because where we live the main road are usually o.k but in this county, there are some really tough back country roads that people live on and they are just unreachable in those areas! I personally love snow so it’s no big deal for me but the kids are going to be going to school all summer to make up all these damn days they are missing! It is a glorious day and I get to spend time with my family and the fact that they are safe is all that really matters so it’s all good!

Screenshot_20180321-061254.jpg

 

Yesterday I hit the gym at my regular time and killed the workout! Whenever I work back and biceps I always seem to work so much harder than when I do chest and biceps. Yesterday was no different because I was sweating like a pig while I pumped the weights! I’m telling you guys if you limit the amount of time you give yourself between reps it doesn’t matter so much how heavy the weight is you really can feel a difference! The volume of reps I get in is insane and I notice that it feels like I’m getting a little cardio while I lift! Today I’m off from the gym but it’s a full cardio day which means I’ll be hitting those damn stairs and walking around as much as possible. We didn’t get to swim last night so I may go to the gym tonight and do an additional cardio session because I have to pick my girl up late from work tonight! Last week when I did stairs I got to about 20 flights so the deal is every week I have to do few more. Today I’ll see if I can spread them bad boys out throughout the day for real, they absolutely kill my legs but they are a great cardio workout and the handles on the sides help to cheat a little if I’m winded.lol.

 

 

O.k. so I was waiting a few days before I said anything because I wasn’t 100 percent sure I was going to try doing it but I am. I’m doing a week of MEAT ONLY this week. I’ve been doing some research about the Carnivore diet which consists of mostly meats and little to no veggies and carbs. There is no way I can see myself adopting this way of eating for the long term however I have been very curious about some of the claims that people who eat this way say they experience. I’ve heard that they feel less inflammation in their joints and they experience a greater clarity and strength throughout their day. I figured since I’ve lowered my carbs to 30g and below a week that this isn’t that much of a difference for me! Today is day 3 and I have to tell you while it’s far too early to declare how effective it is I will say that I feel hella light this morning! My workouts haven’t been affected that much because I usually workout fasted anyway. The surprising thing to me is I’m not experiencing any heartburn or constipation which I figured were going to be side effects. It’s certainly helped with my water consumption so far this week! I can’t front yall other than it being a tad boring in the food variety department I feel really great this morning! They tell me that the 3rd day is kind of difficult so I’m going to wait and see but I’ll certainly stick it out until weigh-in day and see how I feel.

 

 

I checked the calendar and I have exactly 5 weeks before I take the long and adventurous road trip to visit my kids in California! I am so very happy to be able to see them because it feels like such a long time because I live so far. I will be working my ass off to be in the best shape I can possibly be in so that I can show them a great time on my visit! I love them so very much and they make me feel so very blessed! If you wanna know why I am so happy all the time it’s because I am blessed so much with great kids and an amazing fiance’. It’s not me, it’s all of them and God has chosen me to be apart of these wonderful folks lives and I wouldn’t want to be anyone else on this earth! It’s not the fat loss journey that defines me it’s these wonderful people along with my family and friends that humble me and bring me joy! The key to life isn’t what we are striving for, it’s appreciating the things we already have and cherishing the blessings that show up every day that we readily accept as normal. The key is having a roof, the key is having someone who loves you, the key is being of service to those around you, the key is showing love no matter what happens! That’s a lot of Keys on the chain but if you carry those around with you and you truly appreciate the doors they open, they will lead you to all the love you always wanted, the happiness you deserve and the strength to open those doors for others!

I wish you love today and I pray that you give yourself praise and love, you deserve it!

537

Screenshot_20180319-094811.jpg

What yall know about another beautiful and gratifying Monday morning on this earth? I’m sure you know all about that because here we are again and this is truly a blessing!. You know how we do it, today is that day to get up, get out and get something! There’s no need to worry about what happened last week because this is a better week a vastly more fortunate week and this week you will do more and be more! It all on you but at least we have each other’s back and you are not alone! You have a nation of people all around you running their own race and trying their best to win and overcome. This morning remember what your dreams are and what you have a passion for. Don’t blindly go into the week pretending that whatever will be will be, you have the power to affect change in your life and it starts on a Monday fam!

 

 

Fat check: Today the scale read 537! That’s a loss of 3 pounds from last week and that much closer to wellness and optimal health for ya boy! You know I would love to hear how you all are doing on your journey, so let me know how things are going in the comments, what went well and what didn’t and your strategy to win this week! We can do this together, I got your back and I know you got mine so let me know!

 

The gym is calling again this week just like always so today I will be damaging some muscle tissue so that it will grow back bigger and stronger this week. This is chest day and I think I’ll be doing some cardio this afternoon either on the stairs or the seated bike machine plus I think we are going to the pool tonight! I’m excited to see how my body responds to the weight limits that I went up with this week. Hopefully, my body gets used to it fast and I will be able to keep getting stronger and burn more fat! This week I’m putting my Fitbit to good use and stepping up my damn step goal! I’m Alexx3982 on the Fitbit platform if yall want to compete because I damn sure could use the push.lol. Today I looked at my Fitbit profile and I average like 4k steps and that’s just terrible and unacceptable for real so I figure there is a place I can improve so that starts this week! Keep pushing yourself in different areas it can only make you better and better!

So last week my diet was good but it wasn’t great! I mean I stayed within my calorie goal but my macros could have been better. Some of you don’t really track macros and I wish I could be more like you but it’s just not me. If I leave it up to myself to eat and not track it will get out of hand real quick and I have worked too hard to leave it to chance! The meals that I have been making have been good but I have not been able to keep my carbs down under 30g consistently! Even though I just dropped it from 50 a week or so ago I didn’t think it would be this damn hard for me to stay under. Funny thing is even my protein has gone down and that’s crazy because you all know how much I love meat! The truth is I don’t think I’m drinking enough water. I stay with a bottle of water around me all the time but I don’t really keep track like I should of my water consumption. So the plan this week is to keep my carbs down and then pay better attention to my water intake. I’m really starting to love being able to actually listen to my body. Before, I ate so fast and without a care that I never even used my bodies signals. Hell, I didn’t even know that my body communicated with me because the bag of chips I was eating was drowning out the sound! Lmao. I will keep showing love to myself and my body so that it will reflect the joy I have in my life because I have a truly wonderful life homie that’s just real!

 

If you’re going thru anything that is troubling you. If you don’t have anyone to say they love you and you matter to them remember this: I Love You and You Matter To me and no matter what, I value your contribution! There is no one on this planet like you and that makes you priceless!

Love Your Damn Self Homie!

Screenshot_20180316-064939.jpg

Well, good morning and happy Friday to everyone! it’s the last day of the work week and all of you have been pushing yourselves very hard and doing all you can! I for one am very proud of you for all that you have been doing. Lately, I have been realizing that all the things people do that I will never see are so important and I know you don’t always get the credit for your greatness so this is me saying: YOU ARE APPRECIATED FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!

 

Today is the last day for me in the gym this week as far as lifting goes. I have been working my butt off this week and I feel like I can honestly say I found a great schedule for myself. It feels amazing to be in a rhythm with my body and my workouts! I’m doing my back/biceps today and then I’ll be doing some stretching to help with my weak flexibility.lol. There is no doubt what so ever that I will be doing a fasted workout today, they just feel better to me and the mental game is the most important. If I think it’s working then I will push harder and be more involved and that’s the win-win! The gym has really been amazing for me these last few months and I’m very thankful to have a place that I go that is just for me. The idea that I am going somewhere that will make me better physically and push myself to get better really makes me feel great about myself and that’s all that really matters. The only way to be of service and to help others is to be in love with yourself so that you can share that love with others!

 

The diet has been going great and my macros have been very good this week! I just wanted to talk about something that has really changed my life. If I have learned anything it’s that the diet and how I eat really makes the whole thing possible. The truth of all of this is in today’s society we all workout more now than we did generations before and yet obesity is more rampant than ever before. The answer is in the foods we eat and the way we treat ourselves away from the gym! Don’t leave your training in the gym or at the park because the bulk of the change comes in the diet! Now I realize this isn’t revolutionary stuff I am writing but if you sit on that for a minute it really will make you change your perspective! There has never been a workout created that will do more for you than rest, nutrition and the study of your own body! You really have to fall in love with learning about your body and what makes it perform at it’s best. If you have problems truly loving yourselves the best place to start is not a relationship or a drink. You can prove to yourself how much you love you by how well you spend time feeding your body positive thoughts and proper nutrition.

 

Notice I didn’t say give your body the right nutrients, I said the proper nutrients for you! The best way for you to eat and treat your body is all up to you and what works best for what you are trying to achieve. It’s funny that we will go to a job and work our butts off for someone else’s dream then go home and give all we have to our kids only to treat ourselves as if we don’t have things we need to achieve for ourselves. It’s absolutely your responsibility to make the decision to achieve as much for your health as you possibly can. I’m not saying you have to be a world-class Olympian or anything, all I’m trying to say is if you have a direction you want your body to go in then damn it go! Spend some time and love the machine you spend all your life in and learn to give it what it needs to be who and what you want to be. Then you have a love that no one can take away from you because they didn’t give it to you, you did, you feel me?

20180316_064850.png

Please be kind to yourself this weekend and do something fun that you enjoy and bring that beautiful smile with you. You have something others around you need and that’s your presence! Be there, give a damn and appreciate your damn self and that’snot a request.lol.20180305_143527.jpg

The picture of the plants like I promised! My poor plants some are doing great but as you can see I had the light too far from them and a few got leggy but I still saved a few.lol.

Early Work

Screenshot_20180308-155647.jpg

It’s Thursday and you guys know it’s my favorite day of the week! I’m sure you are all crushing this week and blazing new trails of adventure! Thr road to greatness is filled with adventures and obstacles and you have the unique opportunity to live another day to achieve higher levels of life! The weather here hasn’t made up its mind between wanting to give sun or rain so it’s just an overcast day with small breaks of the yellow glow stuff. I’ll take it because it’s not too hot or cold but just about right!

 

I had an early workout today because my fiance’ was off and we had plans so I hit the gym at 12:30. Of course, the gym was flooded but I was able to get a great chest and tricep workout in and everyone was in a great mood at the gym! My workout is starting to get a little too easy so it’s time to go up in weight and add-on like I was saying the other day. My heart rate was up but I wasn’t out of breath the way I have been most of the time doing my workout. I’m trying to find a time when I can film the routine I do so you all can see but I need to go when I’m all alone. After tomorrows lift I’ll have my goal and then dedicate the rest of the week to cardio! I’ll probably do more stairs and ride my stationary machine at the gym. I’m told we may be going swimming tomorrow night so that will be another awesome session! The main goal for me is to stay consistent and get at least 60 active minutes on my Fitbit a day.

 

 

I’ve been crushing the diet lately while staying under 50 carbs a day total. I broke my fast yesterday with my usual keto meal coffee and turkey bacon and followed that up with Panera broccoli soup and a couple of hamburger patties. Since my calories were pretty low I thought it would be o.k to have a few drinks so I mixed some Seagrams Gin with a flavored water and had a nice moment to chill and watch 9-1-1 on television, I love that show! All my numbers lined up pretty good and I am loving the way my diet is going as of late.

I need to cut this even shorter than normal because I’ve been fighting a headache since I woke up and it keeps fading in and out.lol. I wish all of you a fulfilling Thursday!

545!

So it’s Monday and I’m back from a great weekend! I turned 44 years young Sunday and I had a wonderful Time! There was carrot cake and alcohol involved but we won’t get into all that .lol. I pray that you all had a wonderful time and if you didn’t it doesn’t matter because it’s Monday and we get a chance to get it right! I for one, am very glad that you all of sound mind and body and that you have time to read my post this morning so thank you in advance!

 

Screenshot_20180305-093507.jpg

 

O.k my right hand to god I stepped on the scale Saturday morning before all the festivities and she it said I was 541! I was hella happy and about to scream to my girl I had a damn swoosh! Then I looked down and my damn size 16 foot was hanging over the top of the scale so yeah that was false. Yes, it’s o.k for yall to laugh because after I got over my initial pissedoffness(yes this is a word.lol) I laughed as well. So this morning I took a true step on the scale and it said 545 so I was a little disappointed but that’s 2 pounds in a week. Now I realize this is a good pace to lose I wanted it to be faster because I have been kicking the gyms ass. I mean 1 week of tough workouts should trump 44 years of trashing my body! Lmao, I’m just weird I realize this but I truly am glad the scale is going down but damn it I tell you what I refuse to let the scale tell me that I’m not more than 2 pounds better because I feel 15 pounds better! That’s just real. Remember I told yall being healthy is an obsession for me and I am enjoying the journey but if I don’t hit my own personal goal I’m gonna be a little annoyed, which translates to I’m hella more motivated! I’m doing good but I want great and I just won’t stop till I reach each goal along the way yesterday.lol, I thank the lord that I am going the right direction!

We don’t miss Monday’s in the gym so I will be back at war with my fat in the gym today!. I’ve got chest/triceps plus swimming cardio tonight. We did some modified planks last night and it was so funny watching us all collapse on the floor when we got done. It was a big thud and cries of soreness when we landed.haha. I knocked out like 3 pushups last night too so I’m about to get in on this month of march push up challenge for real.lol. I’ve been seeing people on Instagram do it and damn it I want in even though I cant do any real ones yet! I’m alexx3982 on there if yall want to be followers hit me up I’ll follow back. So this week I’ll do 5 days of workouts with 4 weight lifting days and at least 3 cardio workouts and some much needed walking in the park! I hope all your workouts are going well feel free to let me know what you guys are doing because I love finding new and fresh stuff to do!

 

The diet is actually going really well. Even though I had some non-keto snacks this weekend for the ole birthday fun I stayed under my calories! That by itself is a win for me! Today for breakfast I’ll be having keto meal with coffee and some turkey bacon and for my final meal, I’ll have some leftover baked chicken and a green smoothie to get my veggies in. I’ll be posting my macros and all this week so yall can keep ya boi honest!

 

Screenshot_20180305-093424.jpg

 

O.k to wrap it up thank you all so much for all the love on I.G and facebook and even on here. There are so many people that get after me and let me know they are supporting it’s so overwhelming and humbling! Let’s keep crushing it like my homies, Juliecares! , Kawsreflections, Angelle and this really smart chic The Zen Leaf! Thank you, ladies you truly are amazing and you along with so many others inspire me to be a better version of myself! Standing Ovation for you wonderful folks!

The Pasta that Keeps On Giving!

Screenshot_20180302-075306.jpg

Well good morning everyone and welcome to Friday! Honestly, has a day of the week ever sounded so damn good?lol. I’m a little tired this morning because I had a burst of energy and I was laying in bed with too much on my mind and feeling like I could run a marathon! At first, I was going to just go ahead and hit the gym but my mind was not having it! I just tried and tried to fall off and of course, I did right before I had to get up. Why is that always the way with sleep.lmao? I’m very proud to say I did get a few hours of sleep so I’m good!

 

Today I’m back at it in the gym with back and biceps and a new lower body workout I’m excited about! Typically, I only work my lower body doing cardio or the pool so I’m happy to start doing some stretching and leg routine to my program! To begin I’ll do some squats and lunges with no weights for a few and then start doing some weights and eventually have an entire day for legs and so on. Also, I think it’s time that I start doing a little walking around in the parks and stuff. There are several beautiful parks in my area and as the weather gets better I need to get my lower body moving and more flexible! March is going to be an amazing month!

 

The diet was on point and you all know I had those noodles and they were a total win for me. Not only are they delicious but they have virtually no calories and no carbs! The best thing about them, they made me super full and I was unable to eat anything after that meal last night and that left me with a wonderful caloric deficit! I don’t really track calories but I have a ceiling that I try not to go over which is about 2500. I’ll post a picture of my calories for yesterday they were a lot lower than normal! I broke my fast yesterday with that Keto meal coffee and turkey bacon which I think will start being my mainstay! my mom would be proud this morning I’m drinking plain black coffee and I’m actually getting used to it! It’s a major step in my weight loss journey that I no longer put sugar in my coffee, I’ll take the small victories as well as the big ones ya know!

 

Screenshot_20180302-075029.jpg

 

It’s a new dawn, a new day and you all have an opportunity to be as great as you want! I believe that the beginning of every month brings the chance for change. Maybe everything is going fabulously in your life and you just want to try something different or maybe you want to help someone do something you know means the world to them! Finally, maybe you’re like me and you want to do all you can to change the way you handle the things in your life you struggle with and turn them into something positive it really doesn’t matter what it is as! What’s important is that you feel satisfied with the life you have and empowered to change the things that you struggle with. I will leave you with this; The decision to change is a lonely one because it’s all up to you and only you, however, the road to change is paved with arms that are just begging to pull you up and push you along the way to success! It’s all about you!

Surprised Me!

Happy Wednesday everyone! I just got back from the gym and it’s like 2 a.m. in the morning! I have been sleeping amazingly lately and I was doing my same routine tonight but I just couldn’t fall off. Since I was up anyway and the damn gym is right up the street I just went in and did a cardio session. I’m really glad I did because we didn’t get to swim last night because the family surprised a brutha with early birthday gifts. y birthday isn’t till Sunday, March 4th but they knew I would not be thinking I would get presents today so they gave me my stuff early!  They hooked me up and I’m truly blessed to have the type of support system I have around me! They got me all type of stuff for my healthy lifestyle and I’m hella happy! The loot included a wok and a cast iron skillet, some bomb knives and a set of silver measuring cups! The most amazing thing they got me was the diamond cross necklace with my favorite black chain! The whole night was really cool and they even asked if I wanted a cake on my birthday because they know how hard I’ve been working to stay in ketosis, I told them hell yea I want cake but I’ll just have 1 meal on Sunday and then fast afterward! What a great family I am truly blessed!

 

 

 

So today after I get some damn sleep I’ll be doing chest and biceps again. Hopefully tonight we will go swimming so I can work my legs a little more but if not I’ll still have 2 workouts in the books anyway. Of course, the gym was super empty this morning the only people working out was the front desk guy and his friend so I had the run of the place. The cardio was fun and soothing and they must have had the heat up high because I have never felt it so hot and humid in there. It’s all good because I worked up a good sweat and that’s the point right? My music while doing cardio was a rapper that goes by J.cole and he is really talented and his lyrics will make you move for sure. The workout wrapped up with a little Aretha Franklin, I mean has there ever been a better voice in the history of music? She’s a legend for a reason I guess but she brought me on home like a great woman is suppose to.lol.

Enjoy your hump day and remember that you are worthy of praise! Make a big deal about yourself to yourself today. Look in the mirror and let yourself know how much you appreciate the person you are, there’s no other person walking the earth’s surface like you! You’re unique and amazing and a masterpiece and you just need to remind yourself of that every day. I love and respect you all for everything you bring to the world and I wish you a fantastic day!

Keto Coffee On Hit!

I can’t call it but today I had to write later than normal.lol. In fact, I haven’t been blogging at all in the morning lately and I have zero idea why! I think when I do early morning workouts it’s easier to get it done early but here lately I been waiting till later in the day to get it done. Anyway, I apologize for the craziness because I really love to write so I just need to get back on my regular schedule. Things have been going really great and I hope everyone is having a bomb Tuesday!

My workout today was fantastic! Today was back and biceps day and I had a little extra problem today. So I have done fasted cardio and it feels great working out on an empty stomach as far as cardio is concerned. Today when I tried to do it lifting it was hella hard to get thru the workout! I mean I finished but I was really feeling it. Now the thing is I did go up on some of my weight amounts today and I think that had something to do with it so I will try it again tomorrow to see if that was the reason it was tough. My back is throbbing yall but in a good way, it feels good to have that good soreness going on in my body. The girl that works the front desk is like a member of the family now. As soon as I hit the gym she is checking to make sure I’m good and what I’m working on that day. It’s cool when you start to get to know the people at the gym because they almost make you feel guilty for not going to the gym, I dig that kinda helpful pressure! I really gotta take my camera to the gym and start showing yall what my workout looks like I just don’t know if the gym allows it. I could probably go in at like 3 in the morning like when I first started. I’ll see what I can do!

I broke my fast this afternoon with an awesome new meal. So I got that new Keto meal that this dude good beats who has a youtube channel I really dig. When I mix it in water it’s o.k not the greatest tasting stuff was my first impression. But check this out today I actually read the back of the container and it says to add a scoop to your coffee! Gamechanger for sure! It is so damn great tasting and I don’t have to add anything to my black coffee but a scoop of it and I’m good! What a cool discovery to have come upon I was so happy because it has great macros and it’s really easy! I had a few pieces of baked chicken to go with it because I was hella hungry. Just a heads up if you do buy it and it’s available on Amazon, it will break your fast so you have to use it as a meal or snack. I in no way endorse this product and I don’t know him personally but If you ever wonder about it check it out and see if it helps, especially if you’re doing Keto! I’m not sure what we are having for dinner but I’ll probably find a way to eat more chicken yall know me.lol.

 

That’s it for me today. Thank you all so much for reading and being so supportive I’m alexx3982 on Instagram if you wanna be down just hit me up! Enjoy this beautiful day and find a way to smile today homies!
