Push It

My body has continually been getting pushed as I work through Kris Gethin’s 12 week muscle building plan.  I am so thankful for BodyBuilding.com and their free workout plans.

Even with all my workouts, all my clean eating, I still feel like I am nowhere close to where I want to be, but that’s okay. While I definitely have some very real short term goals, I hope I never truly reach some sort of peak.  I always want to still be better, still push harder.

I’m going into week 4 now of this plan, and my muscles are aching.  I’ve pushed it hard with the workouts, now it’s time to push it hard with the diet.  You can only gain so much unless you start pounding the clean calories, which is what I have to do.

To say it’s not challenging would be a lie.  Hardly any of have time like many trainers we look up to, to just pause and eat 6 times a day.  I have a very active job, where I am on the go and on my feet a lot.  Sometimes I feel like I’m burning more calories than taking in. But it’s more a mind-set.  There are ways around any crazy schedule.

So if you feel like you want to be more, you can.  Keep it up.  It takes being creative, especially when you lead a very crazy lifestyle, but stick with it!
