Okay… Normally we all put in how much we lifted, what we ate, etc… Well, this time, I’m going to add some “normalcy”… See EVERYONE here has things they have to do outside of the gym… The gym is where we may spend an hour or two, depending on what we’re doing… Diets do crazy things to us… Trying to get that PR can make us ignore some things… You know, we do a LOT of things outside the “norm”… Well, this weekend had me stop and think… What is the “NORM”…? Go to work 9-5…? Eat 3-7 meals a day…? Lift ungodly weights, or eat ungodly amounts of junk food…? Go to the gym or play video games…? Kiss the wife or husband, and come home to the 2.5 kids…? I mean REALLY!!! What is the “norm”…? Well, I can tell you what my “norm” is… I wake up between 4:00 and 5:00 am, take the pups to go do their business… Feed them, exercise them, take them out again… Get my own self ready… Take the pups out again… And drive an hour to an hour and a half to work… Deal with co-workers that are there to get a check, deal with patients that are there, because it’s there right to have free 81 milligram aspirin, even though they just drove over a hundred miles to get it… Or, show up an hour after their appointment, and demand that they be seen, regardless of the fact that they missed the entire appojntment… Do the “regular job” routine… Drive the same route home… Take the pups out for their business… Take them for a walk, and exercise them… THEN… AND ONLY THEN… Can you go to the gym… You see brothers and sisters… What goes on isn’t just the gym… Now cut your carbs down to 100 or 50, add cardio to that… And, all of what I’ve written, gets forgotten by the “norms”… Because “all we do is lift weights…” This is what makes us outside the “NORM”…Remember… Life happens… Peace, brothers and sisters… I will explain the crazy weekend, tomorrow…
