To vote or not to vote. There shouldn’t even be a question….
Today, I did some blogging on Huffingtonpost.com. We are living during some very hectic, and chaotic times. Likewise, there are those that want to hold on to the past, others who want to maintain the status quo, and those that want to move forward. There is a lot of fear in the air, and many people are clinging to whatever semblence of consistency they can hold on to because of a fear of the unknown. There is something to be said about comfort, but nothing was ever gained the easy way. Whatever, you do make sure you vote, and be heard on 11/4/2008. The future belongs to those who plan for it. Rock the vote!!
On another note, gym and noble study has become my santuary away from the madness. If I had my way, make money, work out, study, and "cuddle." Anyway, when I head into Lifetime Fitness I am absolutely focused and narrowed minded in achieving my goals. Plus, my dues were waived this month and I received a new duffel bag for a cliet referral. YEAH!!! I’m pumping some 50 cent in the whip driving towards the gym very excited about the the painful training to come. Still, I remember walking into the gym six weeks ago weighing 162lbs on a full stomach, but the unseen forces at work were deep in my soul. There is a book a friend gave me called, The New Psycho-Cybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz. He makes the case that you achieve what you think you can achieve. There is validity to this concept. On 9/1/2008, I felt like the cat that looks in the mirror and sees a ferocious lion looking back at him. Well, I was never a cat, but I am a lion. My reasoning is because I weighed in at 174.9lbs on the electronic scale today. Likewise, my flexibility has vastly improved. While, my strength is good but not great. Today, I performed flat bench press @ 205 (8) 225 (8) 275 (6.5), incline bench press 185 (6) 205 (6) 225 (6), dumbbell bench press 80 (10) 90 (10) 100 (6), pectoral deck machine 150 (10) 160 10 (10) 170 (10). I enjoy super setting routines, so I also performed the high, mid, and low iso- hammer strength machine hitting 3 sets for the upper, middle, and lower back.
I’ll drop a post soon. In the meantime, let me get back to the Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers game. Go Clippers? I think so…..oh yeah, these chicken breasts, broccolli, and smoothie do wonders for the body…
