Been absolutely crushing weights lately
Title says it all I guess. Been doing a bodypart split and volume! Holy old school Batman! Anyway, I was talking to a friend last night, telling her that it’s easy to get stuck not liking exercising when it always causes you pain. Sometimes, in fact, most of the time, the opposite should be true. I haven’t really believed in that line of thinking for most of my weightlifting career, if we can call it that, but now I’m rethinking. It seems that, to continue moving forward, I have to derive a certain amount of immediate satisfaction from what I’m doing on a pretty regular basis. Right now the great pumps and soreness are doin it for me. Won’t always be the case, but right now it’s what works.
I continue to ponder my next move. I’ve got a Kombucha project going right now, I think online PT could be a good idea, and I’d like to get my own gym up and running. Of course, that last one might only be possible if the first two are big successes. When it comes to gyms themselves, Sweden is pretty far behind the rest of the modern world, as far as I can tell. I know that even on the Faroes, in Torshavn, they had a much better gym than anything I’ve found here-and I’ve been around. I think I could do well by putting together a holistic living fitness center here. So well in fact, that I am hesitant to even write this publicly. On the other hand, when things are spoken, they are put in motion. That’s one of the very first steps, you see.
In other news, I have but one living sequoia tree left! Seems they don’t like Sweden. I’d really like to start doing more local trees but I’m not advanced yet to the point where I have any success in just going out, getting some seeds directly from the tree, and growing them at home. I’ve tried but no workie workie.
Haven’t been playing the guitar too much lately; would love to but the back keeps me from being able to sit for long periods of time. I can lay down and play but that’s not quite as enjoyable(or as cool). Someday I’m going to find the perfect balance between all of my interests. I can feel things getting more balanced on a daily basis, but there is still some grinding going on-certain things getting pushed out of the way by certain other things. I think the important thing is that I act. If I keep acting, I will keep learning as the truth makes itself known. What say you?
