One of the things that Jacob has taught me is that seeing is believing. I’ve worked with Jacob for a while now and his Lock Screen was always set to a vision board, something he would see every time he opened up his phone. Highlights of his accomplishments and future goals posted all over it. It inspired me to create one for myself last night. I created a vision of a life that I want to live. Progress photo- A reminder of how far I’ve come Socrates- A representation of being knowledgeable Trainer- A future occupation I want to do for the love of fitness and helping others. CBUM- I want to try out body building as early as night year. An apartment- I have an apartment now but I know if I work harder I can be living in a better place. UF- I just reapplied to get back into UF hopefully for the Spring semester. PT- I would love to be a physical therapist and help people who are in pain live better lives. Video- I have a passion for videography and want to tap into my creative side more. Friends- I want to retain healthy and beneficial friendships. Nature- To remind myself to spend more time outside and in the sun. Groceries- To remind myself that I want to continue eating healthy to grow! Healthy relationship- My girlfriend has been a huge role model in my life and I appreciate everything she does. Just seeing this everyday has made me more motivated and I hope some of You guys set yourself up for success in minor ways like this!

Shoutout Jacob for all the alternates loaded into Everfit. Worked out at a different gym with my mentee and was able to easily switch the movements around.

Jacob shared this message in Everfit today and I thought it was so powerful, exactly the message I needed to hear today. About how as we progress and raise the standard for ourselves, our lowest moments now are better than our highest moments in the past. Today I was just feeling weak during my workout, and thinking about how I'm small, etc. But even though I didn't lift as much as I wish I could during my workout, I still got up, did my morning routine, got my meals in, and worked out. A few years ago a good day would have been waking up late for class, spending most of my free time gaming, and eating only takeout and frozen dinners. Despite how I felt today, it's a FACT that the verison of me that I am today is a better version of me than the one from a few years ago. And it can only get better and go up from here with consistency and patience.

Completed my first programmed workout today- went very well! Not used to the short duration but will definitely help keep me consistent.

Had an amazing back and tricep day!! Getting my steps in now before I go home and make air fried chicken sandwiches!
