Ironman Update# 4

So I finished a full month of training and let me tell you it that it has been an interesting and surprising month. When I reflect back on what I have realized one thing and it remains at the fore front this week.

We do not notice or realize the progress that we have made when we are involved in the process.

I say this because even though I am tracking my data and doing this everyday I could not feel my progress until my training schedule required me to redo Week One's training this week . Talk about a large difference I barely even felt last week it went by in such a blur. Which is the lesson I want to pass on to you when your in the middle of any project, or goal you may be trying to accomplish make sure you find a way to measure your success that positively motivates you. I mean how good do you think it felt for me when I could literally feel the changes my body has under gone ? Answer very good it was enough to fuel me for this week which is my hardest to date. So my question to you is this

When was the last time you had this and why not ?

Don't you owe it to yourself to get this feeling in someway? I would have to say yes I mean why not what else are you doing right now other than what you were doing yesterday getting the same thing you have gotten for days, weeks, months on end. Change comes in the small things we do daily that equal something really large when you look back on it in a week, month, or year. Today is your day get up get out and make something different today. This is also phrased in a simple statement (which i have tattooed on my right arm)

Carpe Diem which translates to Seize The Day

Your life is a series of days added up and it is hard to notice the things happening today are gonna one day add up to all that you are it is your personal responsibility to make sure you give yourself the best version of you that there is.

So that is what I learned last week and in training over the course of the last month. As for training I am into day 3 of week 5 and the intensity just went up a notch.

Until my next post

God Bless and Good Luck
