Little Things

So I've been working my ass off at the gym this week.  I'm feeling pretty good, but I could be doing better.  My diet isn't as great as it could be, I'm not planning as much as I could, but that shit's hard.  Some days I feel like I barely remember to put pants on before I leave the house in the morning, much less pack a healthy and well thought out lunch.

Today was the dreaded Weigh in Wednesday and I gained back the .7 lbs I lost last week.  Womp womp.  Not an awesome feeling, but it'll make me work harder for next week.

Also, no one likes a Debbie Downer, unless you're one of those misery loves company types (I'm not a fan of people like that).  So here's some GOOD stuff.  Today I did Day 3 of my current workout and I upped my weight in EVERY single exercise!!

•  Barbell squats: went from 40 to 60 lbs.
•  Reverse Step Ups: went from 30 to 40 lbs.
•  DB Sumo Squat: went from 30 to 40 lbs.
•  Prone Leg Curl: went from 75 to 90 lbs.
•  Leg Lifts: went from 105 to 120 lbs.

So I'm gonna account for that .7 I gained back being the extra muscles I'm making by lifting heavy things.  That's gotta be it right?  Right?!?!  Either way, I won't be walking right tomorrow.

Find some positivity in what you'd typically consider to be a failure.  You'll feel a hell of a lot better about yourself.  And guess what, you're still trying.

And my success is gonna be fucking delicious.

I'm also having a damn good hair day today, so there's that.  It's the little things.  What are yours?

By the way, word on the street is it's World Kindness Day.  Be kind to someone!  Dare you to make that someone be a stranger.  Bonus points ;)  And if you feel so inclined, post it here.
