The past 6 years I went from being 185-190 pounds, in pretty good confident shape, to starting a relationship, falling off the wagon and slowly climbing up to 250 pounds over a few years.. This was really toxic for me and when you’re caught up in it you don’t even realize how bad it is, you just make excuses and disregard the negative effects this may have. Over a year ago I told myself I need a change, this isn’t who I am and not who I want to be perceived as. From March last year, to now I’ve dropped down to around 230 pounds by going to the gym 4-6 times a week pretty consistently. I have gained a lot of confidence, and motivation back but now it’s time to push further. My NEXT MILESTONE is to get down to 225.. Show myself I can push further in the right direction. I’m hoping I can get below 225 within the next month. This week I’ll do that by- Gym 5 times a week minimum starting today. Today is my leg day after hitting push and pull Saturday and Sunday, so tomorrow will be my rest day. I’m travelling to Winnipeg for work Wednesday, so I’ll be making sure to get some cardio or lifts in at the hotel as well. Trying my best to commit to healthier snacks, and stay under 2200 calories a day. It’s hard to do this and hit a protein goal when travelling for work so I’m going to keep it clean and high protein while I’m home, and stay on track as best as I can while away. STAYING HYDRATED. Staying on track with my water goal (3L) will help with this and keep me distracted.

-Gym 6 days this week starting today -Protein shake every morning to start my day off right for my protein goal (drink some water first) -3L water -Start loading creatine again

This week after talking to @Mikael DeSouza he convinced me to wake up early before work to get the workouts done. Today is day one i've already had breakfast and i'm in the gym. Got up at 5am.

I declare that my shoulder injury will not be an excuse to paralyze myself or justify skipping the gym. I acknowledge that rest is important, but at this point, I’m just making excuses. From now until Sunday, if I fail to post a daily gym picture, I’ll make up for it by posting a video of myself performing “I’m a Little Teacup” – but with the “I’m a little bitch” version. No excuses. Let’s go.

No more excuses. I declare that. I'm going to be hitting the gym at least five days a week this week and working on recruitment strategies for my business.
