Thank God for Weightlifting!!
Friday, May 30th, 2008Every morning I get up these days and every night before I go to sleep I have to hit my knees and thank the good Lord that I have the Iron to keep me centered.
I have been dealing with a lot of intense personal issues in my life recently that in the past would have sent me to bed to curl up in the fetal position and just hide. It has been a real shit storm of emotional bull crap as of late and as of right now I don’t see any light on the horizon….only more clouds a brewing. I’m not telling you all that to get any sympathy but to let you know that thanks to lifting I have managed to keep my head above the shit and not swallow any as of yet. Everyday I’ve managed to stay focused on my diet and I actually look forward to my workouts with great anticipation. When I’m pushing up that weight a huge weight is lifted off of my shoulders and for one brief shining moment the sun actually comes out and shines on me. It is my one friend…the one I know is always there for me…pushing me to do better…to go higher. Everyday lately when I get up in the morning I see a new change…a new ripple in my muscles…a new bulge….less flubber. My mind might be struggling but thanks to BB my body is getting better and stronger and looking at those changes keeps me grounded in reality.
No the Iron will never leave me and even if I sometimes lose interest and leave it for a short period of time….it’s always there waiting for me when I need it again. Right now bodybuilding is my life line to sanity. Without it I could possible be locked up in a padded cell right this very moment in the jacket with the long arms. LOL!!
Now I do have other friends….a couple who are very special to me….I think you know who you are. I would be devastated if I were to lose you. But if I didn’t have the iron I’m afraid I would fall into the abyss and never hit the bottom.
Thank you God for giving me the weights!
Till next time my friends….Lift Long and Prosper!
"B"…real or B gone!
