 hi guys welcome back to my channel i'm sorry if you can hear the laundry in the back we're doing some towels we're a little bit backed up on the chores today it's friday i normally get this video up on friday but since i was working all week i worked out at night thus why i couldn't get the video up today like all my other workout update videos i'm gonna tell you guys what i did kind of give you a little update on my body and how the week went and then we'll get into the photos i know you guys all just want to see the photos but first i wanted to address this comment i got on my instagram which is so funny like i honestly i don't i'm not meaning to like address hate i think it's personally like really funny so if you guys like comment this i don't mind because it's just one of those things i think it's funny someone said they have like zero followers i think they just created this account to say this there is no difference honestly in these photos from last week to this week there is no difference i mean there's a very slight difference that i can feel in my body and that my mom can see but that's because she's my mom other than that there really shouldn't be a drastic change because if you lose weight so fast that's totally unhealthy i just wanted to address that because i thought it was funny and it's true there really isn't a huge difference especially for the average person just looking at these photos starting off it was saturday and i did the 45 minute workout which saturday i think that's the day that i did i get back from my trip i don't know but it was close to when i got back from new york and i was really really tired that day um after the 45 minute workout i convinced myself to do the abs so i did the ab workout the next day sunday the 23rd i only did the 30 minute workout which i'm doing right now and i'm just talking to fill up some space in this video so the b-roll kind of matches up with the talking and then on monday i did the 15 minute workout plus the abs i typically work out after i work at night because i am not a morning person guys like i can barely get up for work in itself so i'm definitely not getting up to work out i rather do it at night i'm still tired but i'm already awake it's not like i have to get myself awake to work out tuesday is my day off so no footage there wednesday i worked because it's a normal day that i work i did the 15 minute workout plus the abs and that was like a normal wednesday that's my normal routine then on thursday i do not work out because it's my other day off i love my days off but then i can totally feel it when i get back into working out i can feel when i haven't worked out so that's probably why a lot of people like to stay consistent and then friday today i did the 30 minute workout which i was like oh my gosh should i just do the 15 but i was like no i'll just do the 30 and i'll just push it because i want to you know kind of keep up with the longer workouts and then i also did the ab workout because i was like you know sherry should i just do it and she's like yeah just do it i'm like yeah it's 10 minutes out of my life not that long so i just did it the next part of this video i like to cover kind of like my updates and what i've been feeling and eating at the beginning of the week saturday sunday and kind of monday like those three days i felt so lethargic i don't know why i know traveling and when you're out of town everything can really take a toll on you because you're in a new place i was just so tired and that's why on saturday and sunday i just did one video and i normally never do that i hate doing that you know i didn't do any arms this week which is crazy you know like look at these things my mom's just staring at me looking mama over there she just like a sack of potatoes i didn't do any arm workouts so i was just really really tired and i just felt like all the energy was like sucked out of me also i was working out after work which work for me like i've said in the past videos it's not physically demanding like i sit at a desk and then sometimes at events i lift things like a fold-up table and like a tent but honestly like that's not very physical labor um probably when i was doing freelance and helping on like actual shoots i was doing more physical activity but my job now i don't really do anything like that but i still am tired when i get home from work like it's still like oh i just want to sit on the couch and stuff uh kind of like tonight but i didn't that's probably another reason why i didn't do a lot a lot of workouts but i wanted to keep consistent with my days and just doing something so my body doesn't like totally give out on me i also wanted to talk about working out on an empty stomach makes me less hungry so after i work out i don't eat as much is what i found or i get full faster i don't know if that's because like my abs are like more tight so it makes my stomach smaller i have no idea maybe it's just a psychological thing on monday uh your girl kind of had a little slip in the diet not that my diet's been great this whole week like let's just be real but monday was the worst day i'm just gonna insert the clip here okay i'm just capturing this because your girl just bought a bag of salt and vinegar chips yeah that's what we're dealing with right now yeah i just got done working out and i haven't missed a day of working out so i feel like that's why i'm just like treating myself because it's been hard this week especially being monday i work today not that my work is like physically demanding like don't get the wrong impression like i sit at a desk but like when i get home it's evening time so i just want to like sit down and stuff so i grabbed myself a bag of salt and vinegar chips on my way home and i also got myself some fun things at work but i didn't eat them because i was pretty busy so i kind of got distracted so i was like since i was so good and i didn't eat them they're in my desk drawer literally i got myself this whole bag i know it's not good not good at all but i've just been like not motivated at all but i haven't given up because we got to stay strong and it's like my reward for keeping up the exercising and yeah i know it doesn't mean i'm gonna lose weight because i'm gonna consume everything i just worked off i understand that but it's more like the mentality of like you know just do it and then you get rewarded i don't know it's just one of those things guys guys don't forget there's no excuses for things but it's okay to do certain things that probably aren't the best decisions as long as you're not hurting anyone yourself or like being negative then it's okay it's okay so as you can see i had some salt and vinegar chips also too speaking about diet and whatnot i get a lot of like treats at work so when i say treats it's not necessarily like chocolate i mean sometimes it's chocolate and cookies and everything like today they had insomnia cookies but i did not have one i did have funyons though because it's friday and i worked so i treated myself but on wednesday we had our meeting that's always catered obviously i'm gonna eat at the meetings so that was definitely a very big ish slip in my diet i had like a rice krispie tree a brownie and a cookie because those things are just so good and then i had some bread also my foot stopped hurting so i'm really happy about that it's getting a little worried because the workouts were getting hard to do with my foot hurting um because you're like jumping and everything and like there's a specific spot in my foot that i was hurting but luckily i think it's all fixed now and i'm not in any pain when i do the workout so we're all good here so how i'm feeling in my body currently to be honest not that different my lower stomach is still kind of like pudgy but the weird thing is guys like i can feel my abs like once i lose this like thermal layer of fat i'm gonna be like intensely strong at least i'll look more strong like on the outside because on the inside like i feel it is that weird to say i don't know but um it's just it's always been like really stubborn for me to lose so like i'm being realistic probably not gonna lose it until like i cut carbs like strictly i think the thing i wanted to end on for the updates today was the first night i felt like i had more energy back like my normal energy from my trip i was just so like i said earlier very tired lethargic is the best word i could put in that um but now i'm feeling back to myself and my energy so the exercises were a little bit easier every time i take that day off my tuesdays and thursdays off the next day it's always so much harder so i don't know maybe it's just in my head but now moving on to the real reason you are here to see the pictures so here are the pictures this is my front view on the left is alex last week on the right is alex this week honestly i cannot believe this is week six can you believe it guys i that's just insane now this is the side view alex last week on the left and alex now on the right it's so weird and i really wanted to address this because okay so it doesn't really look like i made any progress especially maybe i picked the wrong side you're looking right now at my left side and my camera is being held with my right arm so you're seeing my left side holding the camera with my right arm okay so it doesn't look any different okay it looks like normal like nothing's changed but look at this guys when i switch the camera and you're looking at my right side of my body and i'm holding the camera with my right side and i'm like posing in this specific location not location but like pose you can see a huge difference like i look so much better like this i have no idea why i think maybe i just picked the bad side to show each week for my updates but let me tell you i look good on the right side with like this pose i don't know maybe like everyone's body is uneven so maybe like my right side is just more fit than my left side because i can tell you like my fat roll on the left side is a little bit bigger than the right side which is weird but it's totally normal so maybe i should start taking my pictures on the right side but then you can't really see a difference so you know i just wanted to bring that up here in here the pictures before i even started working out so alex pre working out on the left and alex now on the right i always love looking at these because i do see a huge difference and then this is the side view of that so non working out alex on the left and now alex on the right i really like these and i do see a huge difference so it keeps me motivated hope you guys like these updates let me know down below if you can see a difference i completely i'm not offended if you can't see a difference i'm honestly doing these videos for you guys if you guys are on this journey but mostly for me to hold myself accountable and to just kind of document this because i like to because i like documented my life and it holds me accountable so i know like i got to work out because i need to film this and it just like keeps me motivated and i like seeing the results so anyway give this video a thumbs up don't forget to subscribe to my channel and i'll see you guys in my next video bye
