FATFREEMITCHD’s BodyBlog

From my previous blog you know that I am re-energized and ready for the next level of fitness training. Because of the progress that is evidently starting to show, I am taking greater risk.. Want a good laugh.. I stepped outside the box today and did something my wife has been trying to get me to do for the past decade.. But first let me digress. Earlier I talked about the compliments I am starting to receive and I don’t even have a beachbody yet.:-) But so far this has been my week.. I have won in the lottery pick-3 everyday this week.. A grand (1,000) in 5 days , what a blessing. So during my lunch break I went to a take out for a tuna sandwich on wheat when I spotted a beauty shop next door.. On a whim I went in and asked the beautician how much would it would cost to take the gray out of my hair. Mind you I didn’t even know what you call it in beautician language. She said ,"You want a tint? " I said, yes I guess" She then asked , " You wanna come in today?" I kept saying to myself, me in a beauty shop .. A man who has never stepped foot inside one in my 25 years of marriage.. I responded ."Yes what the hell" ..So, I got my hair tinted.. No more gray.. I couldn’t wait to see the expression on my wifes face.. To say she was elated would be an understatement.. So, my question is,," Is that what strength training does to you, makes you step outside the box..?" Hey everybody, why not share your outside the box strength training experience…-FATFREEMITCHD

Sometimes you get frustrated in fitness training , no matter what..  The scale doesn’t move.. You don’t see the changes you want in the mirror. And then the Fitness Gods seeing your frustration level and knowing you’re about to quit .send one to deliver to you a compliment.. The other day I walked into the lounge and the teachers were having lunch and engaged in lively conversation, when suddenly this teacher got up and walked over to me as I was heating up some Chai tea in the microwave and said, " Mitch are you working out?" At the time, she had no idea what an impact her question had on me. Someone outside my family noticed and verbalized it to me. I explained to her that yes I was working out and I was motivated by the people on BB.com . And to add icing to the cake , .  Just as my frustration level was reaching an all time high, people (men and women) have started complimenting me onthe change they see in my physique.. That got me re- motivated. I’m on a roll..
