My hobby is working on my jeep
Most of us say this but how many really mean it when we say training isn’t a hobby, its life? I for one do. Just tonight at work I was asked by a nurse I work w "why do you do that, is it a hobby?" I sat there just looking at her thinking "you dumbass you wouldn’t understand the heart, love, desire, dedication, pain, blood, sweat and soul I pour into my training." My reply, "no its not a hobby, my hobby is my jeep." She just looked at me like a I was a complete idiot, did I care….Not one bit. I don’t expect "them" to understand. I have restructured my entire life so I can raise myself to the next level, so I can ACHIEVE. I live my life differently than the norm bc I have too. See a hobby is something you don’t have to do, I HAVE TO TRAIN. So here I sit, typing while eating my salmon and rice, visualizing this afternoons workout, dreaming of how I can push myself harder and farther than last week, what its gonna take for me to win…But yeah this is my hobby, WTF.

I encounter the same kind of thing. People not involved in training have no idea the dedication that is involved. These people tend to think that they can fix thier health problems with a pill rather than a change to their lifestyle. I enjoy my lifestyle that includes working out five days a week and no one can take that away from me. You have a great attitude towards what you do, keep working hard!
