Quit Making Excuses Fattycakes! by BryanGee
The other day my good friend and member of the brotherhood of “The Shaved Head”…Ninja Bill, wrote a good blog titled….Fancy Don’t Equal Fit! In his blog he talked about how you don’t need fancy equipment or spend a lot of money to get fit…it’s just another excuse. Go to his page and check it out….http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/ninjabill/
Anyway, I’d like to tell you a little story about a friend of mine who illustrates that point exactly.
This guy at one point in his life was very well off. He had a college degree, an awesome job that paid him very well and the future looked very bright indeed. He had money up the wazoo and if he wanted anything he just went out and bought it without giving it a second thought.
Then a series of bad decisions and unforeseen events changed his financial situation drastically! The company he worked for hit hard times and he lost his job…he got divorced, got remarried and then divorced again. Both women took him to the cleaners. He suddenly found himself a middle aged man without a pot to piss in.
Now at one time in his life he was a professional athlete so he’s pretty much always been into fitness and working out. Just a short while back he discovered bodybuilding and dreams of competing one day but sometimes he finds it very difficult to afford the proper food and equipment to train properly.
He makes less then $8.00 an hour working as a driver for a newspaper during the day and most of his meager check goes toward child support. His current wife works but only brings home about $150.00 a week. He makes an additional $600 a month delivering papers at night but he has to contract it in his wife’s name otherwise his X’s would take a huge hunk of it too.
Now here’s a guy who has every reason in the world to say “Screw It” and yet instead of bitching about not being able to afford a membership to Balleys or some other fancy gym he saves his spare change and hits all the garage sales looking for equipment he can use at home. Instead of whining because he can’t afford the latest designer supplements he settles for the cheaper versions from Wal Mart or waits for the mega sales. He doesn’t buy free range chicken or eggs or organic anything. He watches the sales flyers and opts for the cheap shit from Kroger.
Here is a guy who is actually below the poverty level and has tons of disadvantages yet he never bitches or makes excuses he just finds ways to keep alive his dream of someday competing in a contest.
Though he is almost broke at all times…in a little more than a year and with no fancy equipment or supplements he has transformed himself to the point that he is being featured on the front page of the BB.com newsletter and just received word that he is going to be a Transformation of The Week!
In case you haven’t yet figured out who I’m talking about I’ll give you a hint….IT’S ME! DUH! LOL!
So the next time you feel like crying and chucking your goals cause you can’t afford your fancy ass gym or buy your $80 tub of protein think of me working out with my Charles Atlas weight set and leaving your sissy ass in the dust!
Till next time…Lift Long and Prosper!
“B”…..real or B gone!
