Helloooo Ladies and Gentlemen.....I know it has been a long while since I have posted anything......and I do hope yall are doing great and are trying to continue with your fitness goals as much as possible with the current situation.....
I was working last year, just before Halloween at a warehouse stacking product on top of pallets....first time I had ever worked in a warehouse or doing this type of work....I started there weighing in at 215lbs....11.5 hrs of stacking....12hr shifts.....2am to 2pm (vice versa if on nights).....worked all thru the holidays till January 15th 2020.....I weighed in at 197lbs.....
"Oh that's awesome, that's great, that's fantastic!!!!" You might say....in one sense...yes....in another....I looked like the crypt keeper.....a bag of bones....sunken cheeks and most of my muscle had been depleted.....I was eating.....everything....I was sleeping....6-8hrs a day.....yet....I couldn't figure it out....I increased my intake of protein.....starches and higher amounts of carbs.....nope....and that was ok....mentally I had come and decided that this is ok....because later on I can build from this....well...my contract ended....and I sat for 3wks.....no weight gain....still eating....and working out with my weights here at home.....started working at another facility delivering books....pushing carts around.....o.O whoa.....the body liked it....I started to gain muscle mass again.....weight, not so much....eating and sleeping the same.....and it was fantastic......for some reason my body like the intense work out that I was doing as well as the breaks in between....45mins of pushing and pulling carts and 15mins to 30mins driving time....I am now back to 215lbs.....and have gained more muscle then before....unfortunately not bigger cause of what I lost....but I'm getting it back....
Ladies and gentlemen.....i learned a valuable lesson with all this.....there is a right way and a wrong way to achieve your goals....but a good balance....and good mix....and it can do wonders for you.....please....during this time that we are being limited....gyms are closed (hopefully to reopen soon).....keep working out....keep eating right....keep being positive.....I can tell you what to do....I can tell you how to do it.....I can even show you.....but please remember.....what works for me doesnt neccesarily work for you.....we are all different....we are all unique.....we are all perfect....in our own ways.....I will try to post more later on....maybe some recipes....some excercises.....I dont know.....let's keep it interesting.....😁
Be safe and stay AWESOME!!!!
