Pull Up Day

2/17/13

I already know what a cookie tastes like. I don't need a reminder of how good it is. I just need results. And I am seeing some incredible results in my abs already. I had a great workout the last two days and feel highly motivated going into today. This commitment is truly unique because I have never maintained such a solid motivation especially with my diet for this long. I think it's about 95 percent mental. But 77.5 percent of statistics are made up on the spot...Hmmm. Today I'm going to eat excellently and put in a very tough workout. I want to start reaching some of my goals on the pull up bar. The obsession with the pull up bar is due primarily the the Bar Brothers and their results. Bar Brothers Official Website. It's appealing to me because I don't have a fancy gym equipment at my house but I do have a bar and I can use it and my body weight to reach all kinds of muscle groups. Here is another amazing video for ab exercises on  the bar. 10 Ab exercises using a pull up bar. Awesome! 

Nutrition is going strong. My intake is now set at 2000 per day. I find it very comfortable to meet this goal but I have to concentrate on good foods in order to stave off hunger. I consume a good bit of peanut butter because it makes me feel full longer. I also notice that walking briskly will give me more time between hunger pains. Around lunchtime I usually have to eat one meal of 500 calories to really stop the hunger. I try to reach noon with 1000 calories remaining and five pm with 500 calories remaining. If I use these benchmarks, it helps me to gauge how the day is going. Overall, nutrition is solid. 

I hope you are moving toward your goals today. If you read all of that then you must clearly have an interest in accomplishing something yourself. You can be normal today or you can be excellent. If you want to be special, do something that is too hard for everyone else. The hardest part is starting. Just stop reading here and start! Once you have the momentum of a couple of days, it will get easier. Throw me a bone back, if you read this and are getting after it. Put what type of workout you did today in the comments. i.e. ABS, RUN, ARMS, BACK. I am very interested in your success. Also, if one of these speaks to you, then please share on whatever social media outlet you use. I'd love to have more people on board for the ride. Have a great day. Live excellently.

Feed the Wolf,
Bradley
