the SCALE

I don't care what the pundits say....look in the mirror and not the scale b as in b s as in s....bs

The scale holds me accountable and keeps me from overeating.

I weigh myself 3 times per day to hold my feet to the fire.

Try it.

Your rest day

Mine consists of going for a 4 miles wooded hike. Gets me back to nature and I feel more grounded to start my week. Staying on the traditional Mon - Sat workout rest on Sun is just something that feels natural.

Having peak and valley days are important cause ya can't run it in the red 6 days a week. My valley days are mon, wed, fri, I still get a good sweat, drill a ton of jiu jitsu and kickboxing, lightly roll and spar. Tue, thur, sat are my peak days. Pushing myself to complete failure and soreness.

Try it have fun and don't hurt yourself.

I am tired

I know however that to achieve my goals I need to train 6 days a week and on the 7th stay active no just couch it and sleep all day.

All those infomercials where the people are shredded are a tad deceiving. What the normal joe doesn't understand is that for those that are ripped that is their lifestyle. To reach your goals you have to make it a lifestyle.

The absolute biggest is diet. Allow yourself 1 cheat meal a week, not a cheat day a cheat meal. A cheat day can get carried away and you can easily lose a weeks worth of results in a bad day. Don't even overdo the cheat meal. Just what you might crave.

So push yourself to get the results you want. Don't slack and stay at it and if you feel tired take a nap :)
