Skyler to the Limit

Have not been on in a while but I want to get fit again and Tumblr is my place i write about that haha. Anyways, I found a UFC gym and they shut down after one class haha... That sucks for them but anyways, need to find a new plan. I have a gym walking distance from me. I may just do something there...

4 weeks down, 5 to go! Last week I didn't miss an exercise but I ate a lot of bad food like frys and cheese and ... chips ... some other stuff I'm sure but I'm back on my eating game this week :P I also am doing week 5 now which is a cool down week. I may add an abs exercise every day because I am having issues getting my belly down flat! It's getting better but... not fast enough :P The before and after is only a 3lb difference btw... Weight management and bmi and all that crap is nonsense... Live a healthy lifestyle and weight will follow right? Or dont and who cares anyways lol... I also stopped getting up at 5am, I get up at 6am now and feel lazy lol... i am lazy but... even more so than normal :P I may start working out in the mornings... I'm just so tired lol... anyways... this week was so far a way easy exercise and I feel bored... I know the 4 week after this will be a lot tougher tho... Anyways, until next week! #insanity #week4 #month1 #beforeandafter #skylertothelimit #bmi #health #healthandwellness #healthblog #fitness #fitnessblog #lifestyleblog #healthy #healthyliving

Insanity Week 3 of 5 So, I have not posted in a while and its not because I stopped working out its because I moved and it took a few days to get set up online again. Right now I am on day 25 and have not missed a day or a second of the workout this week. I have however eaten a lot more food. I vary day by day but most of it good food but just a lot of it. Like half a cantaloupe and a giant bag of grapes and a ton of pineapple, lots of chicken and more junk food in the past 4 days than I had the 20 previous days. So... I need to get that a little better in check but its not too much... Anyways, I will post an update in a few days when I finish month 1!!

I don’t think I have mentally pushed myself this hard in my life. I have also never worked 60+ hour weeks for long periods of time. I have been working 60+ hours for the past 10 weeks or so and since I started insanity I have moved and I am moving again in a couple days... I have no time for anything and somehow I am keeping fairly strong... I feel strong anyways, I am sick right now and I still did my 8 hour shift at work and my workouts and I feel pretty good... I mean I am throwing up but able to get right back up and work... I have not posted my weight btw on my daily updates and I don’t think I will that much... weight should not matter. I do want to build muscle and be ripped tho... so whatever weight that is, I will be okay with that lol. I will post once a week where I am tho maybe... My Insanity Fit Test... (photo above) As you see in the photo above (first number is day one and second number is day 14) my day one vs day 14 fitness test results are pretty good on some and a small increase on other areas. I find my legs are a big weak point and my abs. All those exercises tear me apart. ------------------------------------------------------------- Part 2 to my wellness journey.... Part of my Life Wellness goals is to get away from my 9-5 job and work for something I have passion in. I have always had a passion for film and the entertainment industry as well as humanitarian work. So I want to pursue something in that arena. So I found a Camera I want to buy and I have most the money saved up and I think I am going to buy it and start a heavy learning process on getting used to it. I am really scared about this next step in life. This will be harder than anything I have ever done before because I fear I will not be good enough to follow my dreams... its a very real and scary feeling I have and I will just plow through and just do and take steps and see what happens... I should be able to make this purchase in a month I hope... then I will be doneish with insanity and have more time to pursue that. Although I do want to keep a workout routine... Anyways... I am preparing for my phase 2 of my Life Wellness Journey :D

Insanity! Week 2 of 8 This week was a struggle. Not only did I eat some cookies and ice cream but I also missed a full day and had to bail out half way on another day. I worked a little under 70 hours this week and it got rough.  My weight I don’t care about but it went down 9 lbs and I went back up 3 lbs but I look more tone so.... whatever.... lol This week I am moving into a new house so... this will be interesting to see insanity with 2 days of moving lol. Work should slow down in a week or 2 tho... I hope... On top of that I found a camera I want to get to start filming again... I hopefully will get it in the next month or so. I made a goal to leave my job by the beginning of next year. (hopefully I will train my replacement and be gone by end of quarter 2018) I want to start by doing photography/videography. I have other financial ventures I can invest more money into but I want this journey of mine to be from scratch. See what I can do from day one with nothing being fat, over worked, no money, unhealthy habits to hopefully getting my life on track again haha. First goal is my health and wellness, then my job... We will see where week 3 takes me...

I missed yesterdays workout which I am not happy about. I work almost 70 hours a week my day starts at 5am and goes until 10-11pm and if I don’t get to take a break in the day then I have to work out late at night when I am exhausted and it sucks... I am going to keep going but I just have never been this busy in life and I don’t have any actual time for anything in my life... I am hoping this work situation will settle down but I don’t know if it will and I may just need to quit and take a pay cut and move to a less demanding job. I am still good at not eating bad food tho. However I am still having a problem with eating in general but I am getting better. When I get to shop on Sundays I get a ton of fruits and veggies and I slowly eat them throughout the day, cook all my chicken and make a couple different things with flat bread and rice and do what I can to keep making meals but I forget a lot about eating and all of a sudden like 6 hours of my day is gone... weird... but I am getting better :D Anyways, I have a few hours free today so I can workout but... things have got to start changing at work :o

I was not able to write yesterday I was up at 6am and down at 12pm with only about 30 minutes of free time in the day. I don’t know how much longer I can keep going like this... I don’t have time for my wife anymore and I keep thinking my work will have a lighter schedule but it does not... The older I get the less I care about money as well. The closer I get to getting the A B C’s of life in order the more I am like... wtf is the point of all this lol... Anyways, I am working another double today so hopefully I have time for day 11 which is today, I was unable to post day 10 yesterday.

So today is day 7 of insanity which is the rest day. Yesterday I had no time from 6am until 10pm I was working. I did NOT want to do my saturday workout and somehow zoned out the entire workout. I realized it at the end of the 2nd set of exercises when I checked my BPM and it was like 167. I worked my butt off the last 10 minutes and got my heart rate up to like 193 but... I don’t know... not feeling the workout today. I also ate a ton of food. Banana, Apple, Grapes, 2 sandwhiches, a fruit mixed shake, 2 protein shakes, 2 hard boiled eggs and some trail mix.  I have not eaten this much food in one day since I started insanity. Next 2 weeks I am pushing 60-70 hours at work and after that I hope I will be under 30 hours... I told my boss today I don’t know how much longer I am going to be working for the company. I told him I love the job but thats what it is, a job and I want to do something I would do if I wasnt paid. Like... film... writing for comedy, producing, throwing music events... something not sales... Anyways, This is the year I am going to change so... it will come soon enough :D

(via https://open.spotify.com/user/123872891/playlist/5fTdEYCHpoyJmVCiCuxiOm) I am not really sure what I am posting... my playlist? This is my playlist of only music launched in 2017 (I do one for each year) I don’t like radio music tho and I don’t listen to the radio but I would assume most of this will be off any top 40 lists. Does anybody else have spotify? I LOVE music so much! New music that is different than the normal crap on the radio. It’s crazy how much music and video inspire my life and yet I don’t pursue a life passion in that direction... I am doing sales... Not that I hate sales, it helps my self esteem raised, I work at a place where I make Mad money without feeling like a shady sales guy. Odd how I hate sales so much for how it produces ass holes who would screw you over in any way possible with a smile on their face just to make a buck... I am over exaggerating but still... I don’t like sales people in general... yet... thats where I am... That being said my company doesnt teach or accept any of that nonsense... You want to know what is keeping me from following my dreams? I am damn good at what I do! my last year as a full time sales person in the company I had the highest customer service scores in the company and I was ranked number 4 in the company for highest producing rep and I implemented sales techniques that raised profits over 800% in 6 months on our weakest producing product. I have broken tons of records I am very good at my job and I am very confident in my skills and I know more about the industry than almost anybody in the company, there is not a problem I can’t solve and there is never an unhappy customer, I seek out bad problems because I know I am the best at fixing them. The owner of the company sends everybody he knows to deal with me personally because I know the best way to save money and hook people up the best and loop holes in competitors contracts and yada yada yada... I am good at what I do and I am in a State of Flow... <---- google that if you don’t know what that means. Thats what I am in and I love my job... Thats not what I want to do tho for a living and thats not my passion. I would love to get involved in the entertainment industry. I can see myself happy in a lot of areas there. Its hard to leave something you know you excel at to chase something that feels like something thats not real until you close your eyes and dare to dream... I am trying to put forth major effort obviously with this blog and my workout and eating and everything I recently started. I can put forth more effort tho, This weekend I am going to unpack my drone update it fix whatever is wrong with it and try and start making some drone videos again... find ways to cut time at work. I feel like deleting all of this because I feel arrogant.... and a cocky talking about how good I am at my job lol. I feel its important that you know how hard it is to leave a place that pays really well, people treat you better than any job you have been at, you know the entire upper management and have been over at their houses, know their kids and when you say you’re thinking about leaving they try and fix any problem you have so they can keep you. It’s nice to feel good at what you do and feel wanted... but... I feel like I would be happier if I started doing something I am awful at and will take way longer to maybe never get half as good as how I am doing my current job... but... thats the difference between my Friend whos a musician and me. He lives for his dreams and I dream to live... That has got to change...

Day 5 was rough.... I didnt wake up until like 7am which is really late for me. Then all day I just have been tired. I have these natural energy drinks and I am out and my body is not happy with me haha.  Today was hard tho, I was done in the first 5 minutes but just kept going... now I am super tired and I need to go straight back to work to finish the day out... I am running out of energy lol. I wonder how long I can keep going with a 60+ hour work week. Anyways, I will post a before and after photo tomorrow after my last workout for the week and keep doing photos once a week. What do you guys use for energy? I don’t drink caffeine so I don’t want anything that has to do with sugar or caffeine :D Any ideas?

The reason you are getting free stuff is because people are getting your information to send you junk mail essentially. So, if you dont have one already, create a junk e-mail account and use it here and you can actually get free stuff here. the odds depend on the price of the item but it’s a pretty cool website and you cant find it anywhere on the web unless somebody gives you the URL It took me like 10 minutes to find it on google. www.fishbowlprizes.com www.fishbowlprizes.com www.fishbowlprizes.com

I know tomorrow is going to be a rough day for a workout I am not looking forward to that. I still am not eating a ton but I am eating a little more. I am still way too many meals away from being on top of it tho haha. I don’t know how my appetite is so low with how much I am working out... weird...

I work too much...  in the last 6 months I have worked 1,205 hours (54.77 hours a week on average) We are almost at the half year mark and I feel like all I do is work! I clocked my hours and I have not taken a sick day nor vacation day or a person day all year and I have my week is averaged at 54.77 hours at my job. The frustrating thing, I dont care about this 9-5 life yet I am embedded in it... I do like the job tho and I am friends with the owners and all the higher up’s and I guess I am a part of that higher ups as well now which is nice... I am not afraid to get into an argument with my bosses and speak my mind and fear getting fired which is rare for me. I told my boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss the other day (person in charge of the entire west side of the USA) that his solution to this customers problem was bull shit and reminded me of the shady shit our competitor did and I told him I was shocked that he gave me that answer and I expected more from him haha... I normally don’t have those types of conversations with my higher ups we get along 99% of the time but they know I am a good employee and I know it would be hard to find somebody who cares more about our customers and how they are treated. When we argue its about taking care of customers not about complains on the company. I take our CEO’s message very seriously and his message is the reason I work with this company and it will be hard to leave my job. All that being said i get no benefits and I have worked for the company for 4 years and they gave me one week paid vacation and that 1 week was one of 3 weeks I had on my honeymoon lol... That just seems a little messed up to me...  i dont know... I just am not a 9-5 person... I need to be free and that is one of my goals of this blog! ... doing insanity with these hours is really fun :P Tumblr https://skylertothelimit.tumblr.com/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SkylertotheLimit Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-SYiM0UoDW8bdFd7y3IR1g Instagram https://www.instagram.com/skylertothelimit/ SnapChat skyler2thelimit
