Well adding a lil cheating into my diet today. Been starving for two days I feel. On the list:

10 Brussel sprouts split and seasoned
2 tbsp avocado oil
2 strips turkey bacon sliced and chunked to cover

Delicious
 
Lots of good mobility work at home today. Brutal attack on my core throughout the day. Gotta hit up my last shake and some plank work then I'm calling it a day. Tossed a notebook in my gym bag for tomorrow. Gonna take notes and tweak my routines this week. I'll have the updates/weight posted daily hopefully.

What's up everybody?? I know I've been Mia but I'm back on the train and time to catch back up. Had a lil extra portion of drama in my life lately so I was in need if a lil extra stress relief. And what's the best way for that?? Let's go kill stuff....rawr lol. Had some buddies show up with a bunch of guns, dogs, and preposterous amounts of testosterone. So we went bear hunting. Success. I had a blast. Got the chance to get some much needed stress of me and free my mind some. No gym in sight so I felt a bit lost as my work of late however I preplanned for that. I took my trx and volunteered to cut all the firewood. So not a complete loss. However the food in this situation was no where near up to par for what I wanted. But u can't have ur proverbial cake and eat it too. So I changed some healthy food in for a healthy dose of good times In which I was in need of. But like I've been doing with everything else I did what I could. Ate as much meat and eggs as possible. Stayed away from all the alcohol and junk food. And did as little sitting around as possible. Not gonna hit the gym today. Gonna relax and let my body rest. Ain't done that much terrain walking in a long time. Gonna eat right all day , drink gallons of water that I been missing , and try and get some quality sleep. But tomorrow imma hit the gym like it owes me money

Nice. Any luck with the hunt?

Yeah. We got a big black bear. We didn't get it weighed or anything. Also I haven't seen to many up close to compare. There was 6 of us. Everybody went home with two big coolers full of meat.

Never eaten bear before. I don't think you're allowed to hunt them here...

It's not an easy taste to compare. I've only
Ate it in burgers or stew. Don't know if u ever had wild goose , which is more like steak than chicken, but is has a taste close to that I think. Beefy but tangy kinda. Just a strong wild taste. Real greasy if u don't brown it a lil and drain it before u actually cook it.

Today is usually one of my cardio days but had to cut my workout a lil short today. But all in all a good day considering I missed a week in my routine.
 
Well the new year is upon us. Seems like almost everybody u talk to has the get in shape resolution that they r in love with until February lol. My fitness goals are simple. Be fitter tomorrow than I am today. I don't need a new year for that. So other than getting in shape I hope uve all found some choice resolutions and I hope u find the means to stick to them. Some of mine:
Smile more , yell less.
Be late more often , I rush far to much
Care less about the dumb stuff
Let go of the things that bring me down.

Happy holidays everyone.

That's what I thought. Today should be their highest sales days. Poor business choice. Hit up my home stuff is my next plan of action. Seriously disappointed gym.
 
Well my gym schedule has been jacked up all week. So tomorrow will be chest day. A good ol classic. Pound out a crushing day. At least for myself. Some of the stuff a few of u guys do I find mind boggeling. I'm stoked though. Haven't had a good chest day in a week which seems like forever. Since the gym was closed today I focused on what I could at home. Trx, core work , Lots of push ups , and some med ball work. Not my preference for today but gotta work with what ya got.
 
Well was a great bad day in the gym lol. Had pretty severe back spasms after my first set of warm up squats that lasted through the entirety of my session. Then at the very end of my routine I managed to drop a plate on my hand which was kind enough to break it. Fml. But had a good lift session honestly. Gonna grub then I'll get my workout posted.
