Day 244. Doing less because I do the most sometimes.

Last year, I found myself doing way too much. This year, I want to do much less.

I mean, what can I say, man?

Today was a day of people, including clients, just saying things to say things that really didn’t make no sense.

And of course, I openly engaged like I normally do.

For example, a guy walks by the gym and goes,

“You got security cameras in there?”

And I’m looking at him like…who starts a conversation like that? 😂

He goes, “Cause I want to train here, but I don’t want to train nowhere where they got security cameras.”

This man is smoking a cigarette, 500 pounds overweight and probably homeless.

I’m like, “Yeah, we got security cameras.”

He goes, “Why?”

And in my mind I’m like…

For people like you, bro. 😂

I’m joking.

Serious, but not serious.

Meanwhile, this man continued to blow cigarette smoke in my face, which in 2026 is just kinda crazy.

Then he tells me he doesn’t want to work out somewhere where people can look at footage of him working out and then try to figure out where he lives.

Okay.

After dismissing that gentleman, I went on with my day and somehow the conversation of this fade haircut came up.

And I’m just gonna say it.

If you’re rocking a fade, every other guy is rocking it.

From the Idris Elbas to the Michael Ealys.

From 50-year-olds to 20-year-olds.

Everybody got the fade.

And I’m just not one to really try and look like everybody else.

So where are my deep waves, 360, no-fade people at?

Maybe a small taper on the side.

Can we represent?

Can we bring it back?

Any ’80s babies out there?

Low-cut Caesar.

Deep waves.

That’s it.

Have a good night, y’all.

Day 243. Doing less because I do the most sometimes.

Last year, I found myself doing way too much. This year, I want to do much less.

Took a rest day today and focused on training my clients.

I’ve been taking rest days on an as-needed basis instead of having a scheduled rest day every week.

It’s more of a continuous split instead of a weekly split.

And I’m loving it.

It’s working for me.

Great start to the week.

Have a good night.

Day 242. Doing less because I do the most sometimes.

Last year, I found myself doing way too much. This year, I want to do much less.

It used to be Sunday Funday.

That’s definitely not it no more 😂

But I still have fun. Just in a different way.

Woke up and had some cold brew we made with some beans my homie bought me from Costco. We grinded them up, threw them in a jar, let it sit for 12 hours and oh my gosh.

That s**t was GOOD.

Had me supercharged.

Went and filmed my second YouTube workout and that went by in a breeze.

Ran some errands after that, came home and planned out some groceries.

Truthfully, we’ve been doing Factor lately and the timing was perfect.

We meal prepped pretty much the whole year and about four weeks ago I had this brilliant idea like, yo, let’s just take some time off and pay for it.

Because when you meal prep all the time, you save so much money.

Sometimes it feels good to just pay for the convenience.

And man does it feel good 😂

I don’t know how long we’re gonna keep doing it, but Factor has been hitting.

Power napped today too.

Now I want to get to sleep early and have a strong morning.

My pregnant wife was doing things all over the house ALL DAY.

You just gotta let them do things.

Sometimes she’s buzzing.

Sometimes she’s not buzzing and she’s sleeping.

Today was a buzz day.

Which probably means we got some sleep days coming 😂

Let’s see how this body pillow works out.

It’s purple.

Good night.

Day 241. Doing less because I do the most sometimes.

Last year, I found myself doing way too much. This year, I want to do much less.

I slept in.

Had a lot of energy.

So I was active.

That’s really it 😂

Good night.

Day 240. Doing less because I do the most sometimes.

Last year, I found myself doing way too much. This year, I want to do much less.

Friday came fast.

Yeah, it did come fast.

I decided to take a rest day today and it led to me being more productive with things I needed to do outside the gym.

Focusing on some home activities.

Getting ready for this baby.

Some transparency.

With that being said, I’m going to sleep so I can go swimming in the morning.

That’s right.

I still swim.

I try and do everything 😂

Good night.

Day 239. Doing less because I do the most sometimes.

Last year, I found myself doing way too much. This year, I want to do much less.

Workout with Dan this morning.

We cooked that workout.

The problem is as soon as I finish working out with him, my first client walks in.

So there really is no recovery.

I’m on go from there.

Back to back.

It probably takes me until about 1pm before I start feeling normal again.

Almost 30,000 steps today.

I’m averaging almost 20,000 a day.

I’m not mad at that.

I was thinking today about how much access we have to information about health and fitness.

And that information is valuable.

But have you ever just tried focusing on getting good sleep, hydrating, prioritizing protein and tracking your calories for six months?

Seriously.

Six months.

There are obviously different factors that play a part in weight gain and weight loss.

Hormonal. Mental. Physical. Genetics. Whatever.

But I do think if you consistently tackle those basic goals, you should see progress.

And I don’t think most people have actually tried doing them consistently and honestly for an extended period of time.

That’s my two cents.

Good night.

Day 238. Doing less because I do the most sometimes.

Last year, I found myself doing way too much. This year, I want to do much less.

It was a rest day.

I was gonna post some client flicks but I hate all the photos in this moment.

Good night!!!

Day 237. Doing less because I do the most sometimes.

Last year, I found myself doing way too much. This year, I want to do much less.

Man, you gotta start someday.

I’m telling you.

Start someday.

This s**t goes by really fast.

There are some things I started at the end of last year that I didn’t even wait until New Year’s to start.

When I decided I was done drinking, I was like nah, I’m not waiting until January 1st.

I’m stopping now.

That was important to me.

I wasn’t gonna give myself permission to keep doing something I already decided I didn’t want to do.

Now I look up and it’s almost September.

Almost my birthday.

I blinked.

Some small decisions I made 8 months ago have grown into some large, fruitful trees that I really value.

You gotta start someday.

Why not today?

Good night.

See you tomorrow.

Day 236. Doing less because I do the most sometimes.

Last year, I found myself doing way too much. This year, I want to do much less.

Man, it’s crazy.

Woke up this morning not feeling good, but I noticed one thing.

I felt better than I did last night.

That’s all I needed.

Clear sign I was moving in the right direction. I knew throughout the day I’d start getting back to myself.

I just had to force it in the morning.

And I’m good at forcing it.

Had a break in the afternoon so I took advantage and got a great workout in.

Electrolytes all day.

Yo, if you take anything from this post…

HYDRATE.

You think you drank enough?

Drink some more.

Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate.

Great day. Great workouts with clients. Energy was up and somehow in my spare time I was heavily productive.

Made it down to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts to check out King Saladeen’s pop-up.

I actually walked past it on a date night with Mariana after the Masego show and knew I had to come back.

Secret fan from afar.

There’s still a few pieces left.

Go grab one.

If not, I’ll be back when Mariana isn’t looking.

Also got my laundry put away today.

Major W.

Someone at the gym told me small victories like that matter more than people think.

Vacuuming.

Sweeping.

Wiping something down.

Putting the damn laundry away.

They’re not home runs, but they put people on base.

Last but not least, I asked a client about something today that had absolutely nothing to do with me.

His response:

“That’s none of my business. Not my circus, not my monkeys.”

😂

Good night.

Day 235. Doing less because I do the most sometimes.

Last year, I found myself doing way too much. This year, I want to do much less.

I had serious plans of waking up early with great energy and tackling some tasks.

Instead I woke up with no energy and a type of nausea that had my equilibrium all off.

Tried to do some s**t anyway.

Felt worse.

So I had to lay down alllll day.

Did what I could.

The night was saved by a shared beef patty between me and Mariana.

Tomorrow I’m hopping up with energy.

I can feel it.

Good night.
