Quote of the Day

Marie Curie
Training
Friday, March 27th, 2009Stay the course. Follow the f***ing plan. Rome was not built in a day… Nothing great or epic or mighty ever was. Shit, anything that is simply worthwhile takes time. Time well spent that is… Time conceiving, planning, executing… Look at every day, every meal, every training session as an investment, a payment made toward a greater goal. Chipping away at your dream, one deliberate, positive action at a time.
When times are hard and doubt lingers, be resolute and self-assured. Yours is the noble path, the journey of the warrior. Some dark days that road is treacherous and rocky and it seems to take every fiber of your being, every measure of your soul to muster the heart to take even one tiny step forward. But push onward you must.
And it is those arduous, painful, incremental advancements that will make all the difference in the end. Slow motion is better than no motion. Be not discouraged or disheartened when things look bleak. Hard work pays off and hard people prosper. Your day will most certainly come if you have the balls to stay the course.

How I Feel About My Diet
Friday, March 27th, 2009“I’m not gonna… puke. I’m not… gonna puke. I’m… not gonna puke… Not this time. I chew on these words, force them through my head. In the kitchen, eating another meal alone, it’s just those words and another plate of chicken & rice. This jug of water–without that I’d be ****ed. Been into it for nine months, and I’m sick of it already.”
“Bite, chew, water, chew, water, chew, wash everything down. Repeat. This is my system. Listen, the toughest part isn’t the lifting. It’s not the cardio or getting up in the dark on a cold morning. It’s the diet. The monotony of eating. My training won’t change much. But eating? It will define me…”
“Some days, I’m actually hungry… These are the good days. The food is still dry and tastes like shit, but at least I can get everything down and keep it there. Other days, I just sit and stare. I break out in a cold sweat. I have to will myself to start. Yeah, eating like this is a real pain in the ass.”
“People in the other world, they don’t understand. They can’t. They eat instinctively. For me, eating is another part of my life that must be controlled. I’ve had to learn how to eat, overcome my appetite. It sounds f***ed up, but that’s what I gotta do to prepare for this. It sucks and I’ve still got miles to go.”
