Road to Right: Justin’s accountability tour

 Ok so last week i waited too long again and really got fed up with the tardiness so i said fuck it, start fresh on Monday. And here we are! Honestly it feels like shits been off for a while now and i seemingly could not fall back in to the rhythm that’s gotten me as far as I’ve come. That said, i think this reset is exactly what we needed and im headed into this week ready to do the next right thing and feel damn good about the path. Let’s dive in shall we? So the fucked up rhythm comes on the tail end of two tattoo sessions in two weeks time. For those not tracking, the healing process means no rolling, very little gym, and a thrown off equilibrium that’s fucked up sleep and overall mood in general. The good thing is we are healed and back in the gyms ahead of squatober and another train up for a BJJ tournament. When? Dunno, maybe November or December but the point is today was back to the grindstone and it felt great. Finally feeling back on the up and up with things. I spent th...

 I know i know i know, it’s Wednesday and not Monday. Again. I’m sorry. I’m coming out of the rut and falling back in to the grind but we haven’t gotten back to normal yet so please grant me the patience you ought to grant yourself (boom, turned it around on you). The truth is that the past couple of weeks I’ve been burdened by the impending bob dylan song that it’s been hard to quiet the noise and focus on the basics. Ya know, do the next right thing, even when nobody is watching. Stay active, stay responsible, stay focused, stay motivated. The future is psyching me up so much that the anticipation is bleeding into the now and throwing everything helter skelter. It’s times like these that should remind all of us to just work on the zero meter target. Get out of bed, workout, eat a healthy breakfast, do the tasks at work expected of you today. As long as I follow through today, isn’t that what the future is? Just a never ending amount of today’s in perpetuity? Being a grown ass adu...

 I will post on a Monday, i swear i will. But like this week it was an off day and then yesterday was scouts and today was BJJ and etc etc etc…I’ll fix it. Today is Wednesday and not Thursday…so by that pattern i should be back to normal on the 16th…mark your calendars. Actually that’s kind of what I touched on last week but i severely need to touch on it again. Between chores and family in town and ink therapy i haven’t exactly had the most “by the book” weeks. I’m not getting four lifts in, I’m not getting three BJJ classes in, and I’m certainly not meal prepping as much as I should. Having the wherewithal to call myself out on my slacking: great! Fixing it: not so great. Again it’s hard to antagonize myself considering my excuses have actually been really good and safe reasons, but now that those excuses are out of the way i really REALLY need to get back into a rhythm and get back on track for my larger goals sakes. Step one: admit the problem. Step two: fix problem. We are at ...
