I don’t really have too much to say. It has been a difficult week. I have a sinus infection which is ever so slowly moving out of my system. I haven’t been to the gym for 10 days now and that is soooo depressing. And just in case that wasn’t bad enough my grandmother died this week after battling cancer for several years. I guess it’s true what they say, ‘when it rains it pours’. But all in all I am feeling better. I am ready to get back to the gym given that working out is the best stress reliever that I know of. I am back at work tonight which is good. I have been able to gauge my ability to remain active and coherent for an extended amount of time. I only have six hours left of my shift and I am still feeling good.

Ok, so today was supposed to be leg day. Not going to happen. My right leg has been giving me trouble all week. I am almost certain that another surgery is in my future. My first comp is on Dec. 1. If I have to have surgery at all I will try to at least wait until Dec 2…we’ll see what happens. I am not too concerned about it because my leg has done this to me in the past. Usually all I need to do is stay off of it for the most part. I still plan on going to the gym but I will do some upper body stuff.

Sometimes I feel like my progress is not coming along as fast I would like it to. But then I go back and read the workout log that I have been keeping since January and I realize how far I have come. When it comes right down to it, I know that I am making a difference in my life every day just by eating right and working out. I am a stronger person even when I don’t realize it. I love the following saying: “If you are not moving forward then you are moving backwards”. I have heard this said all throughout my life, but I usually associate with my spiritual progression. All I need to do is make sure that I am giving all that I have to give everyday; my body will take care of the rest.
