ANYONE WHO HAS KIDS NO HOW BAD SOME MORNINGS CAN BE, THIS WA STHE OPPOSITE.

WE HAD BEEN SETTING UP CHRISTMAS STUFF FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS. MY 5 YR. OLD KEPT WISHING SHE COULD SEE SNOW, DOEN’T HAPPEN OFTEN IN HOUSTON. I WANTED HER TO SEE SNOW, THOUGH I HATE IT.

WOKE UP IN THE MORNING AND IT HAD SNOWED. SHE WAKES UP ON HER OWN, IN A GREAT MOOD,DOES’NT HAPPEN OFTEN,  SHE DOESN’T KNOW ABOUT THE SNOW YET. AFTER SHE IS DRESSED I TAKE HER TO THE BACK DOOR AND SAY LOOK WHAT HAPPENED. WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR SHE FREAKS, SHE IS SO HAPPY. I THINK SHE BELIEVES I MADE IT HAPPEN. ALL MORNING SHE IS SINGING CHRISTMAS CAROLS AND TRYING TO GET HER 1 YR. OLD BROTHER EXCITED ABOUT IT. SHE DECIDES WE SHOULD WALK TO SCHOOL. SHE LOVED IT, SANG ALL THE WAY. IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST MORNINGS OF MY LIFE.

I WAS A SMALL KID OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL, NOT ATHLETIC AND PARTYED CONSTANTLY. ONE MORNING ON MY WAY HOME I NOTICED A GYM HAD OPENED IN MY SMALL KY. TOWN. THIS WAS BEFORE THE HEALTH CRAZE AND A GYM ON EVERY CORNER.

AS I CLEANED UP BEFORE GOING TO BED FOR THE DAY, I NOTICED HOW SKINNY I WAS, I FELT BAD ALL THE TIME. I DECIDED TO JOIN THAT GYM AND GET BIG. THE ONLY ATTEMPT AT MUSCLE BUILDING I HAD WAS A CHEST-O-FLEX I ORDERED FROM A MAGAZINE.

I WENT TO THE GYM, THE GUY WAS NOT FROM AROUND HERE. HE WAS HUGE, LIKE A WRESTLER, HAD A SMASHED NOSE THAT LEANED TO ONE SIDE AND SPOKE WITH A "YANKEE" ACCENT. HE TALKED ME INTO JOINING FOR 3 MONTHS. I GAVE HIM THE LAST OF MY MONEY AND HE GOT ME GOING. THERE WAS NO MACHINES, ALL FREE WEIGHTS. HE PUT ME THRU A GRUELING FULL BODY WORKOUT. I WAS SRAINING EVERY REP. WHEN I LEFT I FELT GOOD, THAT WAS SAT. AFTERNOON. SUNDAY IWAS A LITTLE SORE, NOT TO BAD.

 WHEN I WOKE UP MONDAY MORN. 2 HOURS LATE FOR WORK, MY FEET HIT THE FLOOR AND PAIN SHOT FROM MY TOES TO MY HIPS. REACHED FOR MY LEGS AND COULDNT MOVE MY ARMS!! MY BODY WAS RACKED WITH PAIN. IT TOOK ME 30 MINS. TO GET OUT OF BED. BY THE TIME I GOT TO WORK THE MGR. WAS SO PISSED. HIS DAUGHTER HAD TO UNLOAD A SEMI FULL OF MOTOR OIL.

I NEVER WENT BACK. NOTICED IT SHUTDOWN A MONTH LATER.  I DECIDED I SHOULD NOT CHANGE THINGS RIGHT THEN. IT WAS 6 YEARS BEFORE I ENTERED ANOTHER GYM.

I DONT LIKE THE COOL WEATHER. I SAY COOL BECAUSE I AM IN TEXAS. IF I SAID COLD I WOULD CATCH HELL. I THINK THAT IS WHY I’M HAVING TROUBLE GETTING GOING. I MISS THE HEAT AND SWEATING .  GOOD THING, IT WONT LAST LONG.

Can’t seem to find time now to wo. WIFE STARTED BACK TO WORK AT SAME TIME STORM DAMAGED HOUSE. TWO LITTLE ONES SEEM TO BE FOUR TIMES THE WORK. IF I CAN GET BACK STEADY FOR TWO WEEKS I CAN GET BACK IN THE GROOVE. TODAY HOME WITH SICK LITTLE BOY, 1 YR. OLD. HAVE TO GO IN LATE TO WORK, PROBABLY WORK LATE, MISS ANOTHER NIGHT. ALMOST WISH I GOT FAT IF I DIDNT EXERCISE, USE IT AS MOTIVATION. HOW DO YOU RE-DEDICATE?
