DreMalone’s BodyBlog

My son, who’s 11, saw me browsing BodySpace, and noticed I wasn’t on the Most Viewed profiles.

"You’re not on the Most Viewed list, dad?"

"No, mijo. That’s not what I’m here for."

"What are you here for, then?"

"To learn."

And I am. I’m here to learn how my fellow human beings, who love fitness and bodybuilding, torture themselves into being their best. At the same time, I’m learning how torturing myself into fitness makes me stronger, makes my head clear, and helps me be me.

No, I’m not looking to get on the Most Viewed list. My style of "bodybuilding" isn’t for everyone, and that’s fine. But I do get inspiration from seeing the results of others and what they’ve done. I’ve even gone the way of eating more tuna, chicken, and lean meat, and still eating like a diabetic (since my wife is type 2, and eating like that has helped me drop 50lbs).

I just do "me", and it works. I don’t care about things like Most Viewed. Like everyone else, I’m just doing the best for me.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, but a lot has happened.

Got a messed up knee from work. Being on your feet all day, slipping and sliding all over a wet floor, and running up and down stairs like a maniac will do that to you. As a result, I couldn’t work out like I usually do, I got pissed off, and I didn’t feel like writing anything, haha!

Knees still sore, despite the rehab I’ve been putting on it, but I have to take meds for the swelling. I hate meds. I’ve been looking into alternative methods of healing for my knee, but herbologists around here like to charge too damn much. So, I’ll deal with it.

I have been keeping up with my pushups and other exercises, though. They’ve been a good stress reliever, and honestly, it’s helped in getting me back into shape. Whoever though that 200 pushups a day would tone the hell out of you?
