Yesterday morning, on the subway, on my way to the gym, i was getting sad. I don't know why, but i just felt unmotivated and lazy and cranky and i wanted to glide through my workout and not even put any umph into it. Just "go through the motions" as some say. Well I got to the gym and after my warmup, my workout was Back and Abs. So i started my back workout and something in me said to just push myself. I thought of Tony talking to me, telling me that i could do it and to push forward and so i did. I made myself go up in weight on every exercise. It was WONDERFUL! Then, he added in between, a run(jog) for 4 minutes. I covered the time on the treadmill and i ran my little heart out for the whole 4 minutes at 6.0! I felt great! I have never done that.
My whole outlook changed from negative to positive in a matter of an hour. I think what was happening had a lot to do with my cheat meal on easter. I felt like crap the whole day and i felt bloated and gross. I was losing my motivation and my reasoning for why I am doing this in the first place.
I am doing this to better myself. I am doing this for myself and no one else. I guess eating crap for one day made me lose my focus.
I can see now, how the "old me" would just quit and went back to my old ways. But the "new me" pushed through when I saw my faults and I realized that I wasn't going to let that happen again. I will reach my goal. I will look the way i want to look. I have the power to do it and I will make it happen!
