Day One: How The Mighty Have Fallen…
Hey Bodyspace,
It’s me, BC Bound. I know a lot of you have asking yourselves, "What the heck ever happened to that guy?" But then again, I’ve gone for so long, that I’m even surprised my account still works, LOL! But I’m still here, and I’m ashamed to say that the only thing that’s grown on me is my hair.
I’ve had to give up training like I was, because of a serious illness in my family. I’ve pretty much had to dedicate my life to taking care of this family member, so working out, just like a lot of other things in my life, had to be set aside. But I was doing some reading over the weekend, and I realized that even in the midst of this tragedy, I had allowed myself to develop a serious case of learned helplessness. It has really been a deterrent to me getting myself back in the gym, and I just have to make the effort to get to where I want to be.
I’m about 40lbs. off from where I want to be in about six months, as I am going to make a push for the CFL camps in 2010. So I have a great deal of work left to do. But sitting around and moping about things and cirumstances in my life isn’t going to help me get there. So I have to get it done.
This is my journey. It’s going to be hard, and there are going to be some things that really hurt to look at, mostly when I look at myself, not only in a physical sense, but mentally as well. But in order to get where I want to be, I have to go through this point, and it’s only going to make me stronger for the tests to come.
So fasten your safety belts and lose your inhibitions, I know it’s going to be a rough ride.
