Well I am home on Long Island for the weekend to do a face painting party. It went surprisingly very well, made over $100 for an hour! It's crazy how much people pay me to paint little faces.
Anyways, while I was home, I did my workout in Steve's Uncles basement which is the most badass lifting gym ever. It's covered in dust, has no windows and there's just weights and equipment everywhere. I didn't go there planning to workout and then just ended up testing my deadlift max. I worked up to 185 lbs. which was I guess a big deal. I felt surprisingly too calm and relaxed for the day and wasn't pumped at all. I attempted 200 lbs and I failed, but that will just have to be my goal now. It was exhausting, I wanted to go to sleep afterwards. I ended up coming home and eating a whole buttload of chocolate cake that my Mom made. (Relax, I ate a very delicious and wholesome meal of sausage and peppers before the cake) Good thing I'm not weightlifting to lose weight!
Actually, now that I am starting to get into jiu jitsu, I am really trying my best to refine my diet and work out harder and more often. I ran this morning and did some body weight exercises just to get my body moving. I want to eat as pure as possible and get as strong as possible. I want to be a lean, mean fighting machine. I'd really love to take a boxing class but I can't find one in the area (and I can't afford it.) My main motivation right now is this girl that's been coming to the jiu jitsu class every Wednesday. We're both starting basically at the same time and she's freakin' better than me. I think I have a little bit more background knowledge but she has the physical drive. Im feeling very competitive lately and really just want to be better than her. Thats all I care about!
