Renewed Focus .... Like a Dungeon Dragon

So its been a minute, but I'm back and here's what I'm on for the moment:

I have been renewed and re-energized. I am committed again to getting into the best shape of my life.  Insanity! put me down for a while, but no longer I am back at it.  Starting today, I am going to lift weights 3x a week, and follow the Insanity plan.  Weight lifting Monday, Wednesday and Friday and Insanity Monday - Saturday.  I am going to stop letting my Sweet Monster get the best of me, and I will cut out all fried foods.  That's what I told myself I am going to do, and that's what its going to be.

I challenge YOU to do the same thing.  Now understanding that you don't have to do Insanity, but make a true commitment to losing the weight.  Is it difficult?  Absolutely; Will there be times when your at your wit's end of trying to be "healthy" , Yup!; But are you willing to sacrifice those few extra minutes of sleep in the morning for going to bed a little earlier, or not eat that cupcake in the break room, or pass on the Value Meal,  sweat a little bit (for the ladies) ?  only you can answer that question.

Sometimes with things in life, we complain, and not realize that we can do something about our situation, check this video out.  As ridiculous as it is, it makes you think about whatever has you "stuck"

Don't like your situation? Change it! 

You cannot plough a field by
turning it over in your mind.

I'm ouuttt!!!



Always on the grind mode ....

So Im back at it, sorry for the delay.  So I have slowly began to get back into the race, easing back in.  I did the 2nd workout for insanity, and it was intense.  A lot of excercises that worked the core, shoulders, hamstrings and glutes.  Definitely a but sore, but not as bad as I thought.  Every other day I have been trying to get to the gym and at teh very least be able to get 20-30 minutes in.  I want to slowly get back into the lifting routine, hopefully about 3x a week. 

I also want to start talking a little bit more about nutrition, specifically for men.  Here are a few tips I have found along teh way, hopefully they can help you:

1. Learn how to cut up a whole chicken.  You can go the grocery store and buy a whole sized chicken for about $5.  All you have to do is cut it up.  This will save $, and you can eat off it for a few days.

2. Learn how to buy and prepare fresh vegetables.  You can find fresh vegetables for pretty low prices, and they are better than the processed and frozen kind.  Learn how to master a few techniques in preparing them and your body and your wallet will thank you for it.


That's all for today, I will check back in later.
