Today is all about challenges, I decided I needed something else to help me along on the days I don’t go to the gym. So I  looked up some home based workouts on pintrest I could do and I found some 30 day workout challenges. I started 3 different challenges, the first challenge is called 30 day beach body challenge. Day 1 consisted of 20 jumping jacks,10 sit-ups, 10 squats, and 5 push ups. Then I moved on to the second challenge which is called 30 day abs & squats challenge. Day 1 consisted of 10 sit-ups, 10 crunches and 25 squats. Then I moved on to the last challenge which is 30 day guns, buns & ab challenge. Day 1 is 50 squats, 5 push ups and 25 leg lifts each leg. I accomplished everything except the 50 squats from the guns, buns & abs challenge after 35 squats combined from the first 2 challenges my legs felt like jello. Boy do I feel a lot better now that I did some form of exercise. If you don’t challenge yourself, you will never realize what you can become. A comfort zone is the most dangerous area anyone can stay in. It is a place of no growth and no challenges. If you aren’t willing to work for it. Don’t complain about not having it. Life is going to get hard sometimes, but I already know what giving up feels like, I want to see what happens if I don’t. You haven’t failed until you quit trying, I am not about to quit anymore, I am going to keep going and see where this adventure leads me. It is a slow process but quitting won’t speed it up. It is a long process, I am not going to look out how long it takes, I am going to make daily commitments in order to become better one step at a time. I don’t need a fancy gym, nikes or new sweatpants to exercise all I need is myself and some motivation. Losing weight is hard also being overweight is hard, and I choose my hard, I choose option 1. Be obsessed with your training until you get the results that you want.

You have got to be obsessed in one way or another to truly get the results that matter.
Being obsessed is a good thing (as long as you are making progress of course) – and working hard towards your goals and going beast mode as often as possible is a must to crush them! I just want to be EPIC this year. I want to Make this year – MY YEAR.
I am going to keep on grinding and chasing my goals. Crush them. Make new ones.  I want to keep on improving. I want to be epic in the gym and outside of it.

This year, I want to be the best that I  can be.
