I wanted to share with you a thought I had while working out at the GYM today, while I was just warming up on the treadmill, in came a man with such a short stature, a dwarf with a kind of a deformity in his spinal cord, which lead to a hunched back.

The first thought that came to my head is “THANK GOD”, I thanked god so much for making me the way I am, even though there come some times when I don’t feel good about the way I look, and feel sorry for myself that I had to live the prime days of my life ashamed of the way I looked, this guy made me proud of how I look, It’s so weird that out of such tragedy someone can derive so much joy, of course I felt sorry for him, but on the other hand it made me think of the blessings I have and don’t appreciate, and what would it be like if I was in this guy’s shoes, I would off course look at someone with a body that looks like mine and imagine what it would be like to be that tall and that big.

I would like to extend on this page my deepest thanks to the lord for being so kind to me, and tell him thank you father for today I got the message, and I thank you for every thing I got, because what I’ve got is a big dream for so many not so fortunate people like me.

Yesterday I was faced with an Exercise dilemma, I lost track of time while I was blogging here and browsing BB.com, so I ended up arriving at the GYM late, and with one hour left for me to finish my Biceps / Triceps workout, and a 30 min. cardio, I had to choose, either Cardio or weight training, I love both, so I didn’t have any preferences, and what was going through my mind since I’m trying to lose as much fat as this phase as possible is what should I choose that will burn more calorie, is it cardio or weight.

I ended up with the weights and I left the cardio for for today, I read many times here on BB.com that while cardio burns calories during the 30 min. or so session, weights continue to burn calories for the rest of the day, as the damage you’ve made to the muscle continue to repair all through day and night consuming calories, which creates a negative difference between calories In and Out and make you loose weight, now don’t get me wrong, this is not a decision to abandon cardio as a mean to loose fat, it’s just a thought about  if I had just one thing to do on a certain day, and my goal is to loose weight I would choose weight training any day.
