You Never Know What Life Will Throw At You
Hey all,
It has been a really long time since I have written anything. I had a huge family tragedy in February. My brother was killed in a car accident on February 28. That was the worst day of my life. Needless to say I have not been the same since. I took a bit off from the gym to take care of myself and my parents. I tried to get back into it in March but i just couldn’t concentrate!!! It really sucked. I thought that the gym would be the one place that I could get away from it all and focus all my anger and emotions on lifting but it turned out to be a place where I would get into my head and start thinking too much!!!
Things are going a little better now. I have been going at least 4 days a week for the past three weeks and I feel great!!!! The weight has continued to come off even though i was not working at it that hard!! I am just hoping that this sadness will eventually either go away or get a lot less!!!
This whole thing has also made me look at my life in all aspects and made re-evaluate what is important to me!!! I know there going to be some tough decisions ahead but i am prepared to do what ever it takes. It has also made me realize that I have been focusing on everyone else but myself and that if I am not happy then… nothing else matters. It has also made me realize that I can’t give up on my goals!!!!!
So…. I am going to work my butt off and get my self on stage in the next year. There are no excuses this time!!!! I want to make my brother proud of me!!!!

I am sorry for your loss. Don’t give up on your goals and your brother will be more than proud of you.

At about the same time I lost my cousin. A full of life outdoors enjoying athelete. He was run over by a car while riding a bike with his bride (less than 1 year married). We all feel for you.
Maybe we should look at it the other way around, we didn’t lose a close relative (brother/cousin), we gained a gaurdian angel.
Peace,
Michel

Hey there, I am glad to see that you are working on yourself. I’m not good with words on this type of thing but just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
