This is my entry for #gethawt #4. I’ll cop to it… I missed my update last week. But there wasn’t a ton of progress to report. I’m down 4 pounds. I still have 18.5 pounds (of fat) to take off. I’m making forward progress, but it’s slow going.
That’s why I’m happy to say I got back to the gym for the first time in a couple months. Not only that, but a good friend of mine, Jason, also joined with me. We’ve only gone once this week, but we’re meeting tonight (yesterday by the time this posts) to hit it again.
We’re working from the four hour body, like Jen is. We’ll be using slow repetitions to really shred the muscles. My personal goal is to put on muscle, so my base calorie requirements will go up. It’ll also change my shape without really changing my weight.
And honestly, changing the shape is what #gethawt is about, right?
I suppose the real lesson for this week is this. If you have time to make an excuse to miss the gym (or do something positive towards your goals), then you had time to put effort towards the goal.
You wasted it.
Plain and simple, if you aren’t putting your effort toward your goals, you’re wasting a commodity you can never get back.
Stop wasting time, and get out there and do it!
