Just when you think you had it all figured out, something fails! I surrounded myself with all "positives" to help me reach my fitness goal. Well, that’s when things turned smooth for the past few days. Slowly, but eventually I found a weasel ready to sabotage my efforts! I do not hate the weasel, because of the whole "best friends for life" jingle to make matters worse.
Day before yesterday - sweet surge. "C’mon this aint gonna kill ya. Burn it off. Like you don’t have enough to burn anyway."
Me (post day before yesterday) - Guilt trip (read prev. post)
Yesterday - "I got you dinner. Okay, it’s a little oily. So what? Hey, don’t say no to the sugar free strawberry ice cream I got you."
Me (yesterday) - By the time, I finished the oily dinner, I was ready to throw up. I quit on the ice cream, lost my temper (a bit) and said a stern "Stop it".
Today (Me) = "I misplaced the regime you charted out for me. Could you please tell me now? I’ve till evening after work to hit the gym. You’re coming right?"
Answer =" You misplaced the regime, huh? No, I can’t repeat what I wrote, figure it out for yourself. You can go to the gym by yourself. I have other things to do."
Me =" Why the ego, man? You know bodybuilding better than most of them out there. You’ve been at it for six years and more. I’m asking you humbly, help me out with the routine. It’s ok you cant come to the gym to guide. Just chart it out, I’ll do it by myself."
Answer = "Yes, I do have ego. And yea, I’m not gonna help you out, you cow."

Right, the "you cow" part was unnecessary and exaggerated. Besides, it made me realize one thing - I had been sabotaged for the past few days on my diet and the final blow was on the effort to kill my interest to even try and change the way I look.
Knowing myself better than most, I tend to shell myself with the statement - people can like me the way I am and how I look. If they cant, it is their problem, not mine.
Today is probably the first day (in a long time), I felt that sentence doesn’t help me at all. I’ve decided to go to the gym and get a personal trainer.
Next question that you, as a reader, would ask me is why seek anyone’s help. Can’t you workout by yourself? Answer to that is - I’ve a nice bone fracture history and can’t afford to damage the healing bones.
It’s best to work out right and take guidance than stay arrogant and stuck up ending up in the wrong direction. To me, more than anything else, all that matters is results. New Years - here I come!
