About a month ago, our family got together and decided to work on getting healthier. I figured that I'd have the easiest time. I had already been going to the gym, was trying to eat healthier and getting a decent amount of sleep. I was so wrong.
I came to the realization that maybe I wasn't as in shape as I thought. Especially after tracking what I was eating. Soon after, I started to falter. And I fell hard. I started to eat really badly. As far as the gym, well let just say I was paying them to keep the dust off my locker. Work was really starting to get stressful with big numbers to hit and my sleep declined. I was tossing and turning all night and getting up early for no reason. I just could not sleep.
But, this is a new week and I need start some place. I still have a lot to do at work and since I am still getting up early, why not go to the gym and use what I am paying for? I know that it always makes me feel better! One of the perks of going super early to the gym is that there are very little people there so I am not fighting for equipment. I have a good routine, start with cardio then free weights. Abs on Tuesday, legs on Wednesday, back on Thursday, free day on Friday to hit what ever I missed.
I might only have 30 to 45 mins to workout every morning but I am going to get back to it. This should help manage my stress at work and at home which in turn will improve my sleep.
Luckily my gym is right next to where I start my day. Overall this should be one of the smartest and healthiest decisions I have made. Well until next the time keep on smiling and remember everyone starts some place so let keep encouraging those around us and we'll see how far they all can really go.
Good job, Josh! Hope things get better at work & you can start getting some quality rest. Staying with your routine is key!
