Burritos that are not the size of your head are not worth eating. 
Skierg/rower combo sounds brutal. I bet your arms and had a nice pump.

That was a lot of work put in today Trent. Nice full body blast! Good to hear they got the pedals fixed.

Another good looking fullbody session. Hopefully work slows down a little for you.

Thanks Shane. I’ve been doing whole body on my strength lifts but keeping accessory to one muscle group, Really just condensing the strength lifts down to two days and supersetting them to save time. Work is insane right now. Happy to have a lot of work going on but it is more than I can handle and it’s pretty tough. I have had a lot of sleep problems and stomach issues as well. Hopefully things become more manageable soon.

Sorry to hear about the sleep issues. Work stress definitely is the worse. At least we have working out as a way to let some steam off.
Nice pace today on that ride, even with the shitty pedals.

Thanks Shane. I’m hoping things become more manageable soon. No kidding about having working out to blow off stress. It is such a blessing to have that option and stay committed to it. I’ve started thinking recently about all of the things that people will sacrifice for their career/work. Exercise being one of them. All for what? To retire at 65 and be in failing health for the last few years? That sounds insane to me. After all, what use is retiring if you just worked all that time and sacrificed so much just to have a few miserable years left and then die? IMO, exercising is more important than saving for retirement. That is a true investment in your future and the future of your loved ones. Sorry about the rant. Those are the thoughts that go through my mind during times like this when I cling to those morning workouts when it would be so much easier just to sleep in.

Thanks to anyone who has been stopping in here lately. I know I’ve been absent from the journals for a little while. Very sorry about that and I’m going to check in on everyone soon.

I completely agree man. I work with a lot of people who have really let their health go. I try to be a good example to these people and show how much going to the gym can help.
I have worked with one guy for over 20 years who has diabetes and other health issues. He always said to me that he felt bad taking the time out of his day and felt like it was selfish and that he needed to be at work or at home to make sure things were running right or doing what was needed. One day while telling me this I told him you can’t help if you are not there. That seemed to click, and he has been going to the gym since and has lost over 30 pounds.
It truly is an investment like no other.
