Today is a rest day on my new 6 day a week workout.

I’m tired. I need this day off. But I am also thinking oddly clearly. I’m going to go see Ant-Man today. And I’m thinking about the future.

The hollow victory of my ideal body isn’t gonna cut it anymore. There is a good reason to surround yourself with people that have the goal you want. As I spend more time around athletic people, I want to be more like them.

Just trying sprinting made me fall in love with it. It makes me feel AWESOME to have run really fast and know that with practice I’ll be able to do that on demand. And that is an actual useful skill.

I’m satisfied with my new weight goal of 180-185. It where I was happiest the last time I lost weight and it’s not that far away. Then I can start focusing on athletic performance. I want to see how much strength i can build on my body at a maintenance level of calories. I bet even that will be pretty impressive compared to where I got to last time.

Once I get there I need to definitely refine my athletic goals alot. “Get strong” is awesome from right now and it’s not hard with a whole body weightlifting routine and eating right. Great now I have basic strength. What do I want to get good at next. I have a month or two to think about it… but lifting aimlesly will not get me any further beyond base stength.

Sure I still have my body image goal. And I’m pretty sure I know how to get to that sixpack now… and that it requires building my strength up higher to make it fealsible on my frame without looking like Maria Shriver…

Onward and upward.
