Day 3 was a good example of overcoming obstacles and doing what you have to. The day started out kind of rough. With only 2 hours of sleep, I was debating even going to school. So I made a proposition with myself. I told myself, "just take a shower, then see how you feel." And after I showered, I felt awake enough to school. When I got to school, I was still very tired, but I told myself, "just make it through your classes, then see how you feel." The day was good enough that I decided to hit the gym after school. I had a great time at the gym. Leg day always puts me in a good mood. Then I got invited to play some basketball and box with friends. The day had been long, but I could push myself through a couple more hours. I had a pretty good time while getting in some cardio. It was actually fairly productive day. And to think that I wasn't even going to get out of bed this morning.
What's the takeaway? Sometimes you have to start off slow and build momentum to get through tough times. Anything can be accomplished with a positive attitude and enough will power.
That's all for today. Here's my workouts if you're interested.
