A New Day
Now that I’ve had my fill of "junk" food, I get to go back in the gym and workout harder. I need that chisled body of perfection, ok I know it sounds a little OCD. I get a rush to push myself harder. I was in the gym last night working my back (my weak point) and it was a b*tch of a workout but I know the more I do the better I will look. Tonight’s workout, chest and shouldes (another weak part)…ugh how I hate and love shoulders all at the same time. I want to keep myself around 145 lbs…even though some people where I work think I am anorexic….funny right?
I love the haters. Some of the people are supportive and some aren’t, not that I really care. I get, "You’re a shadow of your former self". "Do you even eat?" "Are you ok?" "You’re so thin!" "Why don’t you just have a donut?" At a point in time I was getting pissed because I’m thinking to myself you know I"m doing a show but you ask if I’m anorexic….it’s funny how no one had anything to say when I was thick in the hips at 185. It’s amazing when a person does something that they can’t or don’t want to do themselves they want to try to bring the other person down with their indirect sarcasm and/or talk chit behing your back. I say F them and don’t get mad at me because I’m disciplined enough to follow through with one of my goals….So I figure the next show I do, I’m not saying chit….let them think what they want to think and I’ll just bring more trophies in to say this is what an anorexic person wins…LOL! Ok I know I ranted a little but I had to get that off my chest because people are so amazing to me. If you can’t be supportive or can’t try to understand, SHUT THE F UP!

With the obesity issues in the African American community people should be following your lead if anything. Luckily men have it a little easier but not much, especially for men around 40. I have a coworker that stays in shape and he reminds me of why I need to take care of myself all of the time. With so many African American men dying early, having heart problems, hypertension, and diabetes, I know why I am back on a good diet and workout regimen and plan to stay here.
You worked very hard and it shows, good luck and enjoy yourself
