M3:D51 Upbeat?

July 3, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment


What's on my mind today?

What's in a mood anyway?  Upbeat, down, happy, sad, they are all just driven by emotions.  Are emotions even real?  I wonder about that alot.

Have you ever seen sadness itself?  I'm sure you've seen the result of sadness but never have you actually seen sadness.  Emotions are invisible.  This is what leads me to my commentary for today.

Life is one of those things that you just need to shut up and do it.  Just like your workout plan and your diet plan–you have to just shut up and do it.  You can talk all day long about what your going to do, but you have to actually execute the plan before anything will happen.  Life and planning go hand in hand.  You get nowhere just talking about it.  Both issues require execution.

I've noticed over the past 8 months that the execution is really the entire story.  We all tend to think that our system isn't working when we don't get the results we are seeking.  Perhaps, if we were honestly reviewing the situation, we'd realize that we were not working the plan at all?  Perhaps we'd realize that we've let the plan slip? 

As I said earlier, stop blaming everything else.  Stop trying to find an excuse.  Stop looking for a scapegoat.  Just shut up and do it.

Today's workout was another edition of the workout that was in my video.  I managed the Quad Blaster for 4 sets today.  15 lbs x 4 x 14, 13, 12, 12.  The intensity of the workout was increased by the fact that I was really focused today for some reason.  It was a great day at the gym.
