The past two weeks
Hi everyone,
the past two weeks have brought about a lot of different things for me. first of all, i found out two weekends ago that i have to be out of my apartment by august 31 because my landlord sold the building. i’m in the process of finding a new place to live, but it’s stressful to have to do it in such a short time period. also, i cut all of my hair off and donated it to locks of love. i’m going to try and get a picture uploaded of my short hair in the next day or two. next, i finally got my home computer up and running yesterday, and my job has been out of control. just too many things to do without enough people to do them. so, my gym time and diet have suffered. something had to i guess. i’ve also come to the conclusion that a competition next year might be unrealistic. so as soon as i get moved into a new place, i’m gonna do a cut to find out where i am. guess we’ll just have to wait and see!

Hey Bud,
I know how it is to be confronted with obstacles and challenges but please don’t give up on your dream/goal to be competition ready by next year. Even if your target date is moved back a bit, push yourself to your limits though it may appear like a fruitless endeavor. "Appearances" are like smoke screens.
If you give up a little bit now, you’ll establish the habit of giving up a little bit more and more often. Don’t set yourself up for failure. You don’t have do be a perfectionist but you owe it yourself to do the best you can. Right? You’re worth the effort.
Give your best to your friends and family. Do them a big favor and do your best for yourself first. The bad times will always pop up just when you’re about to break through. These are just little tests to see how committed you really are.
Get into the gym and treat yourself to the best workout you’ve ever had.
Don’t give up.
Peace,
DD
