Getting Motivation back!!!

This is my favourite motivational speech. We used to listen to this before our Soccer games in College. Enjoy!

"I don’t know what to say, really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives. All comes down to today, and either, we heal as a team, or we're gonna crumble. Inch by inch, play by play. Until we're finished. We're in hell right now, gentlemen. Believe me. And, we can stay here, get the shit kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell... one inch at a time. Now I can't do it for ya, I'm too old. I look around, I see these young faces and I think, I mean, I've made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I, uh, I've pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who's ever loved me. And lately, I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror. You know, when you get old, in life, things get taken from you. I mean, that's... that's... that's a part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losin' stuff. You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that's gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying! I'll tell you this, in any fight it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. And I know, if I'm gonna have any life anymore it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for that inch, because that's what living is, the six inches in front of your face. Now I can't make you do it. You've got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think ya going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. Your gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for him. That's a team, gentlemen, and either, we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals. That's football guys, that's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do? "- Al Pacino- Any Given Sunday

Bad Cravings!!!!

Today's training was tough. It was one of the mornings where you didn't want to get out of bed at 5am and go run. But I managed to get through 40 minutes of painful cardio. Totally not in the mood this morning. But of course after it was done you feel amazing. My workout this afternoon was really good. 20 rep body weight squat circuit, reverse hypers, lots of back and shoulders and of course weighted abs followed by another 20minutes of cardio. Felt really good about my workout today. But after dinner is when the cravings started and right now I'm craving SWEETS ahhhh...... I'm somehow managing to resist, I guess not having anything bad in your house makes that much easier and I'm way too tired to go get something. So I'm going to win the battle tonight. Great Day all in all. Trained lots of people and had a lot of fun today. My sister and my Nephew are in town too. My sister brought lil Avery to his first workout haha. I'm working with my sister to get her on a program to follow before she goes back to Calgary. He's grown so much.
Anyways that was my day. Skinny Skinny skinny. Good night!

Another great interval training method:

72 Days

Yesterday I jumped on the scale at the end of the day after my workout and my cardio session following my weights. I was a little nervous but I knew I have stuck to my diet and have been training hard all week so it should have gone down from the last weigh in. I looked down and it read 143lbs, I was so excited I could have screamed, (I may have a little bit haha). It just goes to show you that when you put your mind to something and stick to your diet and train hard that the results will follow. I'm trying to lose 2lbs a week and I'm well on my way to achieve that goal. Today is a hungry day, I'm looking forward to tomorrow when I get to have oatmeal for breakfast and rice for lunch, the well deserved Carb Day!!!! Its crazy how you look forward to getting to eat carbs hahaha but when training for the competition these are the foods you get to look forward too. All the treats come after the show when I go on stage and show off all my hard work.
Its interval training day, so 40 mins cardio in the am.
2pm stairs followed by more cardio, and I think a little bit of the prowler today!! I'll tell you all how it goes later.
