Guys, can you believe it’s April 20th? We are nearly halfway through 2017. Are you taking advantage of each day?
Are you willing to set a micro goal for the last 10 days of the month? Is there an excuse you can stop making for 10 days or a small action you can create some consistency with? Let’s make the rest of our month the best of our month!
It’s another group workout day today!
“Benchwarmers”
Teams of 3:
3 Rounds:
100 Calorie Row
50 Bench Press (135/95)
400m Team Run
I modified this today to go solo because my stomach is still unsettled. So, my workout looked like this:
3 rounds for time:
30 cal row
25 bench press
25 cal bike
My goal was to move with a consistent pace, which I did. I think my chest will feel that bench press tomorrow!
Today is LIVING what I wrote about yesterday – instead of fixating on what you can’t do, focus on what you can do.
I didn’t feel like I could go at 100% today and there’s no need for me to feel the pressure of being on a team and bouncing around on a run.
Instead, what can I do? Modify and bring my best effort. Done.
Please guys, stop being a victim of all you can’t do. There’s way, way more you can do.
Along those lines, I saw this note scribbled on the bottom corner of one of the white boards at the gym. It was right in front of my bench today:
It says 3 types of people:
- Those who watch things happen
- Those who make things happen
- Those who say, “what happened?”
Below that:
- Do what has to be done
- When it has to be done
- As well as it can be done
- And do it all the time
Which type are you? What can you do today to make things happen?
On the food front:
I’m still not feeling entirely like myself. Case & point: I had zero coffee yesterday and I haven’t had any yet today. That hasn’t happened in YEARS.
Because I’ve been kind of queasy, I’m sticking to sparkling water before my workout and chicken soup afterwards.
While I bought mine at Whole Foods, this would be a super easy & fat loss friendly soup for anyone to make. It’s literally just chicken stock, carrots, celery, onion, chicken, salt, parsley & pepper.
That seemed to go well (it didn’t go well yesterday) so I had grilled chicken strips from Paleo Power Meals for dinner. All is well that ends well!
