So nothing ever bends, it only breaks into pieces and pieces… I stole this saying from a Crossfade song but how true it is. "it seems so much easier to just give in, when your reaching for so much more." I was recently in a place the past 3 days where I couldn’t workout, I couldn’t practice proper nutrition all I could do was think, think and think. I had to so the time would pass, so this moment would succomb. I thought about my children, how much they have brought to my life and how much less of a man I would be without them. I thought of my close friends, some of whom I later found made attempts and took actions to help me without my asking or knowing, they just did it. (DJ this is you, Jeff make sure he knows I know and am much appreciative for it) I thought about how far i’ve come in my journey and how ive transformered my body over the years and more recently, in the past 2 1/2 months. The pure "religious" experience if you will I feel  when im in the gym. I didn’t focus on the negative, only the possitives and with where I was this was a difficult task to do. I couldn’t train, but I could visualize and while visualizing my chest workout I began to feel as tho my chest was pumping. In visualizing my leg workout, I felt my legs swell and feel heavy as I paced around, my mind to muscle connection is better than ever. Most of all I realize that there are many loose ends still in my life and I do not except loose ends in my workouts or nutrition, so why except them in life, I won’t anylonger. This whole experience to this point has brought more than a better physique, it has brought a better attitude. Greater appreciation for the small things that most take for granted. I realize that there are many things I have in life, that others do not have the opportunity to built. While I have "built my life like a bike on a rigid frame, nothing bends it only breaks into pieces" it has brought greater meaning to everything.
