People like you inspire me. I’m a very ambitious, motivated thinking person. But when it comes time to actually putting in the work for that level of success, you can find me on the couch.
I put forward 100% effort on what needs to be done, and the rest of the time I like to kick back.
I wish I could say the same and have it be true!
I definitely paid for it. Scale shot up today.
Lmao!!!
Appreciate that. I spent some time homeless and it made me really think my life through and realized I can’t live knowing I haven’t done everything I possible can to reach my definition of success.
I kick back sometimes… I think. I watch tv while I do cardio. That does count right?
You probably have more fun tho!!

Your days are like mine. Except I spend from 4 till 415 in a fog trying to find coffee and preworkout and remember who I am. Good time to work out though. Nobody needs you at 4am.

I wish that was true! My last client would start sending emails at 2am.
I used to be this way too. I swear the whole REM thing helps.
Friday
20 minutes morning cardio
45 minutes post work cardio
Shoulder workout
100kb swings
10 more minutes of cardio
Hardly ate today, drinking tons of water and binging some Criminal Minds. We interviewed and will be hiring an assistant for me… so that’s pretty awesome.

Looking solid for sure… legs are one of the last areas to show good definition.

Just got home from being in Bay Area for a spring training game. Started checking emails and realized my meeting tomorrow changed from 1-4 to 8-11. Which means I have to leave my house at 4am to pre-game meeting at 730am.
400am - wake up
405 - Stairclimber with 40lb best
425 - cry a bit
445 - hit road and drive for 3.5 hours
830pm - left office
840 - legs and cardio for 30
1000 - (projected) lay in bed wondering what I didn’t get done today
Also, if anyone is interested. I’ll post what book I’m currently reading. Hopefully this gets me motivated to post updates more. I read, on average, 1.5 books a week.
Currently a few pages short of finishing Dan Harris’s 10% Haplier. Dan is a news anchor who had a spout of drug use and high anxiety career. He sought ways to deal with anxiety. Pursuing religious figures, self help gurus and eventually Bhuda. An engaging read, especially initially. I found his experience at a silent retreat comical at times, but boring mostly.
He’s been on Rogan a few times. Careful, you might start posting in the Woo Woo thread.
Finished the book… Don’t think you’ll see me start praying to buddha anytime soon. If anything, the book just confirmed my stoic philosophy.
600 - woke up ready to go to gym.
615 - boss asks me to pick him up before meeting.
715 - boss says his daughter is going into labor and won’t be att meeting now.
730 - 730 - work
730 - Chest and tris. 25 minutes on incline treadmill. Probably best pump I’ve had in months.
Finished 10% happier. Not sure what I’ll start tomorrow.
Stoicism, Buddhism, same thing. BTW, Buddhism isn’t a religion, so nobody prays to the Buddha, lol.
You’re good - sure you don’t need me to tell you that.
Original Buddhism isn’t a religion, Siddhartha Gautama did not want to be worshipped, he didn’t even necessarily want anyone to follow his particular path to enlightenment, but there are plenty of sects of Buddhism that basically turned it into a religion, not to mention areas where the Hindu faith just absorbed him into their massive pantheon and just kept rolling.
Yep, this.
Are you familiar with Sikhi?
If you see my log, and my woo woo thread, you’ll know that I am into this shit.
I drop into both of those periodically, so yeah, I know. I’m not of the woo woo persuasion, but I have had very eclectic interests throughout my life, and I took some world religion classes in college, and actually wrote a term paper on Buddhism and the life of Siddhartha Gautama. My knowledge is 30-some years removed, but I’m still interested.
Nope, but curious now.
