The exhaustion! The exhaustion!

What a work out today! I kind of over did it a bit...I combined my usual cardio and weight lifting with some swimming, followed by some spa time in the sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Now this wouldn't be anything remarkable normally, but considering that yesterday was my first day back to the gym after an outrageous 10 days break, ehm I came home like a zombie! I am sure tomorrow I am going to be better. I want to go back for more. You guys know by now that gym is my addiction...it makes me feel so good, it makes me feel happy, I get like a natural high when I work out.
When I don't work out I feel lazy and dull, I get the blues so to speak.
Today I got a great compliment by my "personal trainer"/friend whom I hadnt seen for yeah about 10 days.
She told me that someone told her that I was there on a machine and she couldnt recognize me from the back! She said" No, that is not Hayam!". Wow! That must mean that my body has been changing shape if my own friend doesnt recognize me!
I took a selfie, mostly for myself to see the progress of my "getting fit" process, but I will share it with you guys too, in case someone is interested in seeing my changes.  I will take another one in a month or two to see if I get better/fitter. I really would like to get some muscles, some definition in my arms/shoulders and also of course get fitter in my tummy and legs...but I really have to get back to my day to day routine and no more breaks!

Also I must really cut on carbs and snacks! I never used to eat snacks, my snacks consisted of apples or carrots... I need to go back to my healthy raw vegan eating and to my healthy habits!

  1. You're doing quite well with your workout, Hayam; it is all a matter of discipline and will to keep up your fitness training. I'm also working hard at my gym also, being slim for many years have cost me dearly, but no more: I'm willing to change that, and become fully tight and strong with my body.

    Each of ourselves should be supportive to one another, when it comes to fulfill your goals. =)

    1. Thank you for the encouragement José! Yeah we should motivate each other, that is why to work out with someone else is normally more effective than working out alone. Personally I train with the best at my gym! They are my role models and we are also friends outside of the gym and they make me push myself a lot! Thanks to these people I learned a lot on how to train properlu and I learned to push mysef to achieve my goals! Good luck with your training, keep your goals always in mind and stay focused, if u work hard for them, you will achieve them!
