Blue Monday

Well, this morning I went and faced the music. Yesterday, my dad told me that I was looking a little flabby and he's definitely right. I don't feel good and when you don't feel good, you don't look good. Attractiveness is exuded by confidence, self-esteem and a positive mental attitude. Luckily, I was already planning my workout yesterday even before he said anything. This morning I executed.

Lets start out with the positive first. Most of all, I'm happy that I got up at 5 and actually went to the gym. I probably could have never done it without Amaya. If you're read this, thank you so much, it was just the final push that I needed to get my ass out of bed. I worked abs and upper body. OK, that was the good news. Bad news... wow, did I lose a ton of endurance and strength. I'm really embarrassed and really never realized how my break from working out has affected my health. I was winded after doing an upper body rotation and I didn't even do any cardio. And this is just my warm up stage for the first 2 weeks. I already have a leg workout planned for tomorrow that includes cardio. I must admit that I'm not looking forward to those results as well. On the other hand, I shouldn't be surprised. I've been lazy and out of any kind of routine for a long time. I've set my goals and I'm going to accomplish them. This is just the kick in the ass that I needed, not only in my physical aspects but in my career and mental well-being. It's funny how one part of your life has a domino effect on the other parts. In regards to this complete body workout of mind, soul, body, it's going to be important to be always looking forward, constantly setting goals and focusing on the positive. I can do this and I will.
