M3:D56 Stop

July 8, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment


What's on my mind today?

Are you allowing yourself excessive cheat meals?  Are you continually derailing your own progress by floating from plan to plan or just not sticking to any plan at all?  Are you fooling yourself by not really working hard at the gym?  Do you have goals all set and published, but in the back of your mind you don't believe you can achieve them?  I have one word for you.  STOP!

You can't allow yourself to keep undoing the things you've done.  Just stop now.  If you relate to anything in that first paragraph do me a favor…step away from your computer and go somewhere you can be alone and vow to STOP.  Stop the madness now.  Don't let yourself fall prey to your own shortcomings.

Are you doing well with your nutrition?  Are you sticking to a plan and making progress?  Do you work hard at the gym?  Did you set goals and know you are going to achieve them?  You too need to STOP.  You need to stop doing things that derail you.  You need to keep your eye on the prize.  As the Bible says, you need to run the race with endurance. 

As you go through your day, ask yourself if there is anything you need to stop doing that is impeding your progress.  Whatever it is STOP.

Find out what I'm doing to my body!

Today was an awesome Monday workout.  I get to do squats and I did them pretty heavy today.  I've gotten my squat up to 350 lbs x 10 reps.  I know I will feel it in my quads tomorrow as I followed them up with a brutal Quad Blaster session.  I pushed very hard again today. My reveal is a few weeks away and I want to show some real progress.
