What the hell have I been doing?

NOV Banner in Wendlers Gym So, I realize that it has been a while since I have updated anything here, that I don’t currently have a log on EFS right now, and I haven’t said much of anything about my training, diet, or anything else I’m doing gym wise on Facebook or Twitter in a long time.

Truth be told, I have had a pretty rough few months. I’m not going to go into it here, as it’s deserving of a post its self, but needless to say, life will stomp your ass sometimes. I know that it did mine. I’m back on the horse now though, training and life are going very well for me, and I have a lot of different things I’m working on right now. Definitely have some new goals in the gym and in life, and for once, they are literally 100% selfish. I know that sounds ridiculous to say, but for a long time, I was guilty of letting others in my life play a part in what I wanted to do. Not that I was being controlled or unduly influenced by anyone, as I wasn’t, but I realized a while back that the goals, especially the ones I had in the gym, weren’t just MY goals. They were mine and someone elses. Honestly, at the time, I was completely oblivious to it. Looking back, it was never a hindrance, but I think at some points, I was subconsciously reeling it in, keeping myself from what I wanted to do. Those days are over, and that part of me closed a while ago. NOT SORRY.

For those of you who don’t know, a couple of weeks ago, I started training with Jim Wendler. Jim has been a very good friend of mine for a very long time, and we had trained together a few times, but nothing serious. Can’t really recall what started it, but I had had something come up, and asked him if I could come train at his gym; better known as The 5 Points Attitude Adjustment Academy. He said no problem, and I went in, and not too long after, we decided that we would start training together. This is going to work out well for both of us, as our current goals are currently in line. After being down and out for a while, its good to be back on the horse.

We all get smacked in the mouth by life once and a while. Most stay down and never wanna get up……..The few rise up time and again knowing that life is not a Disney Movie is a War!
GOOD LUCK! YESSSSSSSSSS

Responded to your facebook post as well. What does it take to workout at that gym? That would be badass!

When in doubt, keep it simple. It’s a universal life truth that applies just as much to fitness and healthy eating as anything else.
