cease the day

soooooo tempting to go to the gym today....

but my body says "NO!"

obviously, i still feel warm all over after yesterday's 'wall-to-wall' session.. lactic acid, beybee... i kinda ask myself, though, "Why in the name of Zeus am i doing this?!!"

i honestly get high banging 'em up... i remembered years ago (i think i said this a million times already) asking my friends during our heydays (meaning, our day ain't complete without a dose of our favorite cocktail: alcohol) if there's anyway we could all get that "high" feeling without consuming that friggin' darn poison... so today, i am pleased to announce i have found what i'm looking for.. this may be my place in this world.. fingers crossed.. but hoping it really is..

i hope this is the beginning of a new me... maybe a career shift.. if i have a career to begin with.. haha!!

actually, i just might.

i've met this coach slash gym owner through a forum (see how cool it is joining a forum?). this guy is good. i'm pretty much star struck with his in-depth knowledge about the sport.. from the technical aspect to nutrition.. just blows me away!

anyhoo, i had the opportunity of initiating contact with him as he is selling a supplement (which by the way he staked his name on), and that he tried and knows they work.

since i'm running low with my own supply, i promptly ordered... it was a long shot, tell you that.. the guy is from Manila and so are his businesses.. anyway, after initially turning down my request (i simply did a "fire and forget" approach) he just all of sudden said that it is possible to ship those products at my end.

whoa! cool, eh? not only that, he mentioned about maybe i could sell it to some people who might be interested.. i just bought some whey protien and a thermogenic product (fat burner to be exact) and bhoy, i had to close my eyes when the lady swipe my credit card... so expensive, mate! on the other hand, the product this guy sells, which i cross-check by the way, ain't too expensive and are the "real deal." i've read the reviews and it is promising.

going back, since i'm no sales guy, i was kinda having second thoughts about being a distributor.. but after lotsa musing and some soul searching, light bulb flashes! with my passion for the, uhum, sports, it's worth all my consideration, honey!

i am, after all, banking on this guy's word and experience... not only that, it is one helluva good deal.. short of being too good to be true.. but not exactly.

still and all, it's not that easy and i have to know the details, plan, blah, blah, blah... to get things rollin'...

i hope this is what i've been waiting for.. to do the things i like and make moolah out of it.. please, please God... let this be it and lemme succeed on this one..

meanwhile, yesterday's gym session was a good one.. i had a good chest workout.. i know in my heart i can 1RM (one rep max) at least 250 pounds... why? well, i made three reps for the 220lbs.. meaning, i still have a few "reserves" left on my tank.

it's not gonna be easy as time passes by but what's having a plan for, right?

this year, i will earnestly aim to be a member of the 300 club... i'm gonna bleed, i'm gonna break some bones, wear out some tendons and joints during the process, but i will, set this one on stone, Sugar, bench press, deadlift and squat 300 pounds of iron before this year is over.. got that? comprende?

good.

aaarrrggghhhh!!! my problem right now is that i don't know when to rest. the hardest thing for me to internalize and understand are these:

rest means progress.
rest means growing.
rest means healing.
rest means chill out already, shmuck!

it's just so hard to get my butt off the gym... but i have to. so here i am writing this.. you like? hihi

i'm having a good "workout" just watching Gecel.. uhm yeah, mentally, that is.


a tribute to the retired eight time Mr. Olympia, Ronnie Coleman.. love this guy!
