I’ll catch up on my workout posts later today I hope. Meantime here’s stuff from comic con last Friday.
Halo all, some of my favourite highlights from #torontocomicon. Oh right off the bat let me say how great it was to be in a convention scene again. Meeeting one of my childhood idols #louferrigno was a great treat. Wish I could've had time to actually have a chat with him. But still can't tell you that it was so awesome seeing people out just enjoying #nerdculture #popculture, and an all around day out with the family. Doing meeet and greets, artist ally btw tomorrow and Sunday @rebelrabbitart will be selling his art there since stop by his table and say hi and buy. End of the day I'm just glad I got to spread a great day out with awesome friends @jackilimo and @everyday.princess. Thanks guys for coming and making a great day #comiccon #marvel #dccomics #anime #nerdingout #autograph #cosplay #merch #artistalley #gaming #peops #dayout #geekingout #imadork #photoop #metrotorontoconventioncentre #greatday #greatfriends #feelingblessed #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, well tonight’s #workout felt amazing. Was so #inthezone that I just flowed from one station to next. Keeping #heartrate up and the routine next to uninterrupted as possible. Doing #backday/#bicepsday is always a fun night. Hoping for as killer a vibe on Friday for my leg day routine. Happy #humpday everyone 😊. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, first #workout of the week. So we start things off with #chestday and #tricepsday. Always a great way to end the day. Let’s have some fun in the glorious #houseofgains. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Got a little behind in posting. Here was last Friday's post
Halo all, well a great way to kick off the #weekend. Spent it at the #gym working my #legday/#shoulderday routine and feeling proud of myself for adding more weight on the squats. Feeling very confined that come Monday on my next weigh in I’ll be over 20lbs lost. Hope you’re all having as great a start to the weekend. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, had an awesome night at the #gym. First off it was #backday and #bicepsday so already puts me in a good mood. But most importantly I’m now further on my weight loss goal. I’ve not only made up for the 2lb gain but I’m now getting ever closer to the 20lb loss marker, and I’m so #proudofmyself and feeling #confident for a rare moment. Hope you all are having as great a week and a happy #humpday. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, going to be ending my Monday night at the #gym. Doing my #chestday and #tricepsday and so excited for first #workout in my new #punishershirt. Let’s get this workout started. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
First of new #gymshirts made. Have to wait till paint drys but I think it turned out great. Thanks to @rebelrabbitart for the stencil he made. Can’t with the do my first #workout in this new #punisher shirt. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, always love this. One thing I do to help my community and will always tell others to do also. If you can please do #donateblood to help those in need. It’s something that so many can do but don’t, and yes I Know a lot of people are scared about the needle. Trust me you’d have to have a really bad #nurse to notice it going in after the first time. I was nervous my first time but now it’s as if I don’t even feel it. So get out and #help your #community with this. And hey look you get treats after too 😂. #inyoutogive #canadianbloodservices #blooddonation #goodkarma #doingwhatsright #doingmypart #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, well Friday night was a blast with my #legday and #shoulderday routine. The update video on this post addresses some Homer Simpson “that’s good, that’s bad” moments. But just glad I made it out to Friday night. So I’ll be ready to get back to 4 days a week. And stepped on the scale tonight that two pound gain is now gone as is an extra 1 pound. I feel almost literally #unstoppable but not going to get too ahead of myself just yet. Hope you all have a great weekend and catch up with you soon. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Wednesday workout Halo all, well had a great workout today. Was making up for not going Tuesday night and did my #backday and #bicepsday routine. An exercise I haven’t done in ages was the lifting of the weight plate (if you know what the name of that exercise is please tell me as I’m drawing a blank. But all in all was a #fantastic #workout today. Looking forward to Friday and back to getting on the right track. Hope you’re all having a great week and crushing your goals. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, well have to say todays #workout was amazing. I felt so so so tired later on but I had such a good time with #supersets on this day. Worked #chestday and #tricepsday and can already tell that tomorrow I’m going to be good kind of #sore and it’s a great way to start the week. Hope you’re all having as great a start to your week as well. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, well I spent #valentines in the gym trying to work on the new concept to me of #selflove. Anyone who knows me can attest that it’s something I really am lacking in, I have more than enough #selfdoubt and #selfesteem issues to work on. So tonight I worked #chestday and #tricepsday at though it started slow I got to a great set routine before long. This wasn’t punishing myself for something I ate or wanted to eat. I celebrated that my body could move this way and work hard on #strengthening itself. I felt great by the end of my #workout and hope all of you felt as good today. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, well tonight was a great #workout. Great rhythm, near constant of keeping heart rate in the 130-140 zone, feeling sore and accomplished after. So this was one I can be satisfied with. Combo of #shoulderday and #legday which I will confidently say I’ll feel in the morning tomorrow. But what better way to start the weekend than saying I’m sore from a great workout? How about looking at the scale and seeing that I’m now at 15lbs lost 😊😊. Hope you’re all having as great a start to the weekend. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, well I learned something from tonight‘s workout. I am an absolutely terrible #hypeman lol 😂. Felt energized and was slower to start. My #backday/#bicepsday wasn’t as energetic as I thought. Though on the plus side I was able to do an all new workout with the #cableshrugs, so I at least did something different. Still even with the low energy it was still great to get some negative vibes out. Hope you all had a great Tuesday. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, well #mondaynight means it’s back to the grind at the glorious #houseofgains. Working #chestday and #tricepsday at the gym. Now I’ll be honest the energy level was #sluggish at best in the beginning. As far as my adding 5lbs, worked for all but the #inclinebench but I’m still getting back into the swing so I’m not letting that bug me too much. After awhile I got a great rhythm going and felt good to finish the night off strong. Hope you all had a great Monday and start to the week. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, well tonight was my #shoulderday and #legday got a great calorie burn tonight. Now one thing I know might be called out is my #squats, namely the depth. Truth be told even without the bar that’s about as low as I can go at the moment. But I’m slowly working my way into that feeling again. To get back to Friday nights being there and my leg workout. As for the rest of it, the #workout felt great. Hoping you all are having as great a start to the weekend. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, well night 2 of being back at my #happyplace. Swear I’m never taking things like this for granted again. Not going to lie was a very sluggish start. Eventually got a rhythm but it worked out in the end. Tomorrow night will not be #gym night as it’s meal prep and chore night. Plus we got crappy weather moving in and I wanna be home asap. Hope you’re all having a great week so far and stay warm and safe the next couple of days. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, got to say I’m so excited to be back at my gym. Two awesome things for tonight 1) just being back in my #happyplace the glorious #houseofgains. And 2) getting on that scale and seeing now over the last month even without the gym I was able to loose 10lbs. I’m feeling super energized after this night. I’m going to ride this wave to my #victory this time I know it. I fully recommend the program #noom if you’re looking to work on your weight. Hope you’re all having an amazing start to your week. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
So excited, after another felt like another eternity. I’m back at #onehealthclubs tonight. Like last time we’re back to 4 days a week and damn it I’m so tired of #lockdown closing my gym. So make the most of it. Hope you all start the week with the same good feeling I have. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Gyms opening up soon. Can’t wait to get back into the swing. Hopefully This will be the last time to have an interruption in my gym routine. Hope the week is going great for all of you out there.
Halo all, so giving an update to the #Noom program. Wel for starters I’m down 6lbs in just over 3 weeks. So I’m calling that a win. Minor or major a win is always a win. Secondly the lessons I’m listening to are giving me some good things to think about a reflect upon. I did hit a little snag in the week when I upgraded my phone. And for some reason the data didn’t transfer over but according to support on Noom that could happen. So I have to go back to the beginning on the lessons which is fine it’s like a refresher course. The program has given me a lot of good acronyms to work with that allow me to work through my problems and also build better goals. TTAC (Trigger, Thought, Action, Consequences) for example has helped me when having bad food cravings. So have the breathing exercises I’ve been doing. The one I’m going to talk about here is call YBP (Your Big Picture). According to studies they’ve talked about. Writing your goals down will help you visualize them. But sharing them with people and talking about them will add to that. So I’m going to speak about mine or in this case just add a photo that shows what I’m aiming for.  so far I can honestly say I would fully recommend this program to anyone looking to work on some weight loss. But if it’s something you can’t afford don’t be afraid to reach out to other people in this group too. Or using it I conjunction would help too. Hope you’re all having a great weekend. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, started my Saturday morning with a #homeworkout. Just working #biceps, #shoulders, #triceps, #shadowboxing, also working on my #hammerhold. Yes I know wimpy that it’s only a 10lb weight. But until I can hold it for a minute straight I’m not ready to advance. Great way to start the weekend off and get the heart pumping. Had an over the phone chat with @suzakublue to keep each other motivated. That’s 3 workouts this week done and now off to carry on with my day. Hope you all have a great weekend ahead. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, well I was hoping this was going to be #workout 1 of 4 this week at my gym. Sadly though we’ve been given the news that we’ll be closing…again in Ontario. As of Wednesday another 28 day closure and all I can say at this point is ****! 🤬. So while I could I hit #tricepsday/#backday for Monday, got a great push and ended with a few (sadly can’t go long) minutes on stair master. Hope you all have a better week, and make it through another lockdown. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, well #2021 is almost officially over. To say it’s been a rough year on us all is no joke. We’ve all had hard times with #family #friends with #work and practically no #sociallife. But we made it through the year…and I’m hoping nothing but a good year ahead for you all. May it be full of #goodfortune may you be #blessed and may the #universe return all the #goodkarma you put out. #happynewyear. #2022 #newyearseve #goodtimes #partypeople #countdown #celebrategoodtimes #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Well I just decided to take a moment and look into something. People of late have been concerned about my weight and rightly so. This pandemic isn’t to blame though the fault rests on my shoulders. So what does that mean for me? For starters I’ve decided and signed up for #noom I’ve heard enough about it to give it a shot. Secondly I have to be back to 4 days a week at #onehealthclubs with no excuses. Third I have to get back to walking everyday as I was feeling improvement when I was doing it. 4th I’m going to focus on my group I started on #facebook “the road to(o)”. Just looking for support and encouragement in my journey. Thank you all who have been here this long with me. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, well let me start by saying #merrychristmas to you all. Went right to the glorious #houseofgains after work. Worked #bicepsday/#chestday and man it felt great. Nice start to the #holidayweekend if I do say so myself. Then I did a few last minute errands before heading home to relax for my #christmaseve tradition. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 weekend. And have many great moments with friends and family. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, first #homeworkout in ages and even more shocking first #legday workout in ages. One of the exercises I saw here on @onehealthclubs page and man it’s a killer for me lol. Tried it last night over video chat with my friend @elaine.s118. I did do #upperbody and #shadowboxing as well to keep a good #heartrate going. Was a good start to the day, hope you’re all having as good a start to your day. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
I’ve decided that next year. I’m getting this pic made into #christmascards, thoughts? #bitemoji #cartoon #santasuit #custommade #snailmail #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Well here’s this weeks #mantra, and I’m asking for a little help with something. A little encouragement to get me working out this week would be very much appreciated. Hope you’re all going to have an amazing week :). #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
Halo all, well another night of #tricepsday/#chestday. Trying more #supersets in order to get more upper body strength. I would love to one day be able to do an actual #pushup or two. For now though I work on building my strength up and working on food impulse control at home. Hope you all had an awesome Friday night. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong
