Today i did leg day with my PT! He offered me a job as a joke cause he said i was so knowledgeable about sport stuff/gym culture. The work thing was probably a joke, but he did seem impressed with my knowledge? I told him i just got my info from youtube and blogs (which is true) lol. It ain't that deep, bruh.

Tomorrow (alone)
Tomorrow i am supposed to do upper body day with my PT. Unfortunately, that is not possible, because my PT has the day off that day. Sooo, i have to go on my own. He send me a message asking if "it will work out" and i told him that i don't know... because that is the truth. I did tell him that i would already be happy if i manage to stay an entire hour on my own, regardless of what i do so we made that the goal, but i already know what i am going to do i just didn't tell him lol. I want to do upper body at home today. And then tomorrow i want to do leg day at the gym. So 20 minutes warmup then leg press, ab/dductor, leg extension, and leg curl. I think i will try to go around 12.

The past week

PT: Day 1
Today i met up with my PT. It was a little bit awkward, but it went pretty well. We did some tests and at the end we did 20 minutes of cardio: 5km up hill 5k/mh. I was sweating at the end!!!

Prepping for tomorrow
Tomorrow will be my first work-out with my personal trainer! This weekend i rediscovered an old calorie counting website and i made a post-it wall with goals i want to accomplish. I also applied for a job today! Fingers crossed. Today i ate 1574 calories and 123 grams of protein and i took 3 post-its off the wall.

Tuesdays & Fridays: 8 weeks - Let's Go!
I just got back from my meeting and it went really well! For more details read further. I also stayed for a little bit after and did 5.0 hill and 5.0km/h on the treadmill and at the end i did 5.5km/h. Pretty cool! Around 13.45h the gym was more or less empty!

Upstairs neighbors are back bby 😅🔫
Today i am going to try to try and get a high protein number again. My roommate is gone the entire day + evening cause he will be travelling out of the country after work to pick up some music gear, so i have more time to do stuff since he will be home around 8 or 9 i am going to assume. The bad news is that my upstairs neighbors are home again and i think i will probably get a brain aneurysm from it :) Also meeting my new personal trainer/coach tomorrow and i am excited and super nervous!

Pizza day!
I looked in the mirror this morning and my body already looks better even though i have been eating, what i thought were, a lot of calories. It seems that my body craves about 1500-1600 calories which is insane to me. I thought i was going to gain weight because of it? Oh well... i will just keep an eye on it.
Today is 9/11. I am not American so it doesn't do anything for me. Yesterday i wanted to celebrate that my annoying neighbor lady is moving away. She told me 2 weeks ago that she will get the key to her new place on the 10th (which was yesterday), so i wanted to celebrate with pizza. When my roommate and i walked to the pizzeria, it was closed :( so we will go today instead!

Chill (upper body)
Yesterday i hit such a high protein!!! It was because i bought this pack of seitan bits. It was 150 grams, 246 calories and 45 protein! So much protein for such little calories. I made it with pasta. It was kind of expensive though which SUCKS (4 euros for the entire pack i believe), but it is definitely something i want to keep eating. Today went pretty well. Wish i had gotten up a bit earlier but overall a good day. I ate 1,633 calories and 69.1 protein.
I also did upper-body:
- shoulder shrugs on pull up bar 3x6
- bent over rows 3x10 (6kg)
- bar curls 3x12 (6kg)
- arnold press 3x8 (4kg)
- sitting twists 3x12
- side bends 3x12 (10kg) (kettlebell)

Productive!
Today i woke up late again, but when i woke up i was immediately productive. I ate a little over 1,294 calories and about 112.7 grams of protein.

Back 2 focus
What happened on Thursday really rattled me and i was completely taken out of the loop for a good few days. I am however back on focus again (is that a proper sentence?). No more writing about my roommate or other really personal stuff it doesn't matter. I want to focus on my anxiety and exercise and daily routine here, so that is what i will do!
For the thing i want to do tomorrow... i am not sure yet. The house is a mess so i think i want to focus on that the most right now. Maybe if i really feel like it i will go to the gym tomorrow, but i think i will just keep it for Tuesday and just make it an upper body day instead! I am so zoned in on the gym constantly that i keep forgetting that i can work-out at home as well!

Surround yourself with people who inspire you to improve
This is a quick rant about my roommate/best friend. Normally i wouldn't do this, but i just want it out there in the world if maybe somehow, somewhere someone finds this blog and can give me another perspective on the situation. I am also not afraid whether my roommate/best friend will find this post, because everything i discuss here i have already told him to his face. He knows.
There's a ratine!!!
Today i promised my roommate to edit. Today is also the first day that i add a new bullet point to my routine. So it's morning routine > walk dog > stretch. The weather is warm and gross today and yesterday a rat visited my house to say hello!

Exposure at the gym!
It has already been a week since my schizo post lol, but i guess the routine idea i had worked, because it has been a week and i stuck with my routine! Also, promised my roommate to go to the gym today, and i did go! I did 15 minutes of treadmill again on a 3.5 incline with a 4.5km speed. I hit 1.07 km again. I really want to hit 1.5km and AI said that i have to walk 6km/h to hit that. So next time i will 4 incline with 5km, so i can gradually increase it to get to 6.
Here is a 5 minute leg stretch video i found last week that i want to share:

Accountability
I kind of want to vent about my roommate, but maybe i should keep that for my personal diary. I asked him today if he could help me by keeping me accountable for doing things. So i told him tomorrow i want to go to the gym, so if i don't go i hope he holds me accountable (i hope i will go though lol).

Habits
I just want to rant a little bit about forming habits and how it has helped me so far with the help of AI. I feel like it is helping me, more than a lot of other things that "specialists" have taught me. I just have to figure out how to plan out my days in terms of exercising and working. Also, i think that if i get to a point where i can get ready, walk my dog, and exercise all before 1PM, i can have very productive days. I just have to figure out how to make myself do that.
