Tuesday

Trying some new workout routines targeting the chest.

Using dumbells, bench press 2 dumbells I started with 30s to get a full circuit in. Keep them pressed and then pause at the bottom. Last 2 reps do 3-5 quick quarter presses to really feel the burn.

Next laying on the bench with same dumbells keep your shoulders tight and press them for some mid range press. Dumbells should land at the shoulders when fully declined. Push them together at the top. Elbows should go past the bench 😤 barely.

Next do wide press, arms go all the way out and close them together at the top.

Finish off with some push-ups and if your up to it some cable pulls across the chest to fatigue.!!!!

Then I throw in some circuit workouts to really get my heart rate up...

Turkish situps. Siting on the ground with dumbells 20...25s. Shoulder press 10 reps. Be reasonable. Laying flat on the ground keeping the weight above your head arms extended the entire time, sit up. I started with 5.

Moving to goblet squats 10. Keeping heels planted.

And last off to get my legs a good burn step ups with 2 dumbells 30+ 5 each leg.

Do 4 sets of those and time yourself.

I like to finish off my workouts with moderate jog run pattern. Gives yourself a chance to really excelerate that heart rate if need be and train for endurance.

I can post pictures later.

2/8/2020

I haven’t had a chance to post in a while. Mainly because nothing has really come to mind to post. Today felt like a good opportunity to play ketchup. I have come to realize I like things very organized and planned out. That doesn’t always happen, but things are so much less stressful when there’s a time and place for important tasks that need to get done. It also allows me to keep myself held accountable. I am a huge procrastinator. With big and small things. I think some people can get a little carried away with this aspect. Getting a calendar filled out and taking notes with reminders goes along way.

I have been struggling with forgiveness lately. And not getting upset about things you can’t control. Its so much easier said than done. The biggest problem I have been having is with my anxiety that one minute I’m okay with the events going on and the next I am not. I just need to learn to let stuff go. I waste so much energy with things that will work themselves out and be fine once the appropriate amount of time has come to pass. I have a lot of big decisions coming up. Actual change sounds good right about now. Not like a change in my diet or painting the bed walls change, but a change of scenery. The kind of change that when you wake up you must recalculate how your days are going to be and you must relearn street names and meet new people. Honestly, I do not know if this is the right decisions, but I think I have made my mind up. I am really blessed and appreciate all the people I have in my life to help support and listen to me when I need someone to vent too. No decision is permanent. The best thing about life is that if you find yourself not happy, you can change it at any time.

I am trying not to watch as much television, movies or tv shows, but I did start watching that 68 Whiskey. I didn’t think it was going to be good, but I actually enjoyed the action and drama. Though Paramount is a hard channel to get a hold of without having traditional cable. There are a couple other shows I am waiting for new episodes to start coming out. Finally, Feb 28 I believe it is. Frozen 2 can be purchased. I feel like It took forever. I did like the first one way better but the second one did not disappoint. Almost went to the theaters a second time to watch it again but I was able to talk myself out of that lol. I need to go through some of my movies and watch some of my favorites I haven’t seen in a while. Zombieland and She’s Out of My League are the first 2 that comes to mind. Right now, I am watching Thor: Ragnarök. Surprisingly very funny at times. I need to listen to more music throughout the day. Every chance I get. It really is able to calm me down center me most of the time. It is getting late and I think I’m starting to ramble, so I am going to bed. I plan on going to church. I hope everyone one is having a fantastic weekend and a good night. Be safe and try to do something to help someone tomorrow. It could be the day that you could really make a difference in someone’s life.

“Meek your alive” “Behold… my stuff” love it

1/24/20 Appreciation

I am trying to start doing things in my spare time that others want to do instead of what I want to do. I really want to work on being a lot more selfless. I have been a lot more humble lately and it has brought some things to my attention I would like to change about me. Don't change yourself but you can change how you treat and react to others. When someone does something that comforts you or makes you feel good. Tell them or show them. They can’t read your mind, at least not all the time. And telling them will make them aware of how it made you feel. The simplest gesture could mean the world to someone. But if you don’t let them know that, they may not do it again thinking it was no big deal. This is something I struggle with and have to make a conscious decision to do it every day. Yes, I have my girlfriend in mind when thinking about this, but it also relates to your family and friends who may not spend as much time with you. Letting people know you appreciate them with words or actions is huge and I think it gets overlooked. I know I did.

I am getting tired. Have a good day... be safe!

LET THEM KNOW
