i know this update is going to seem random, because frankly it is. that doesn’t matter though, what does matter is that i’ve been working a lot lately and making a lot of changes in my life. one of those being restarting (yet again i know) on body for life. i know some people think i’m crazy, but at least i’m trying.


if at first you don’t succeed, try try again


taking that to heart i started eating right and working out every day, minus the freeday. about 4 weeks ago i jumped back on track and started again. as usual i saw some pretty solid instant losses, mostly water i know, but losses none the less.


focus on progress, not perfection


this time around the things that are working for are simple rules. i don’t need tons of complex rules to follow, i need simple attainable rules that fit my stressful variable schedule and life. an example of one that works for me is no matter what happens in a day, i get my workout in at some point during that day. if i miss the morning, that’s bad, but not insurmountable. it just means that i have to work out in the evening. if that means getting on the bike at 9pm then that’s what it means. if that throws off my sleep a bit, well then i have to work out the next nite instead of the morning until i get caught up. don’t let one roadblock block your whole week!!!


another simple rule, no playing games until i’ve worked out. i know it may seem i haven’t been playing much lately but that’s actually because i’ve been working so much, not because i’ve not been working out … confusing i know. despite the fact that i put in 80 hours at work last week i still managed to get in 5 solid workouts. i know that isn’t 6, but 5 is better than none.


top all of that off with sound well rounded meal choices, airing on the side of bfl 6 meals per day, and we have a 18 pound loss and i feel amazing. i wake up with energy, sleep well, am more focused at work (despite the pain that is work), and feel like i get more done in a day. that may also be due to other changes i’ll talk about later but the workouts are definitely giving me the extra kick i need.


get off your butt and get back in the game … yes that means you!!!
