Workout & Motivation Journal 7/15/14

Went to the gym tonight and for the second night in a row I biked the 2.5 miles down to Cedardale and back. When I got there my IPad still is not connecting to the WIFI but I will survive. I still wish I could have had a Tony Robbins video to motivate me on the treadmill.

Rituals(current rituals I need to keep in my life)
-being conscious about food going into my body
-being conscious about the intensity and frequency of my working out
-getting enough sleep(i need to improve this)

I am going back to the things that worked last summer to get myself results. I really kept a focus on improving my diet and keeping my training intense and to the point and measure results. Tonight I did a 20 minute run and completed 2.09 miles in the 20 minutes. I also decided to do some light arm curls.
Riding the bike down there is a way of slowing down and refocusing.

Recently I have been considering becoming one of those people who gets up really early and uses the first 2 hours to get a head start on the things important to them. I was thinking the hours of 4-7am .
This time is quiet and free of many distractions which can derail you.

I am in the midpoint of working in the Minuteman Summer Program right now. It is draining me in some ways but keeping me in tune in others. Camping is coming up this week and I should stay focused and sort out some bills,needs and school work(curriculum,connecting with people) before the weekend.
