How’s your training going? I’m sure you have all been injured at one point right?
Unless you’re a lazy bastard that enjoys sitting on the couch and doing nothing, it is terrible not being able to train.
Make sure you enjoy it, don’t take it for granted.
Make the most of your workouts, even if it means doing double unders!
Now that everyone has mastered them, let’s put your practice to good use!

I’ll be returning soon, probably this week or next.
I’m sure you’re all wondering how I’m doing, or maybe not. Whatever the case maybe, please do not ask me how I’m feeling.
I know you are asking with the best intentions so no need to ask.
I feel pretty much the same as I did before the surgery, only now I can’t workout so I’m a fat bastard who cant move. Bringing it up to me will only fuel my anger, so let’s just leave it at that.
Let’s talk about happy shit. Unless there’s no happy shit going on, then let’s talk about shitty shit, just not my shitty shit.
What about everyone’s diet! We can talk about that, or will discussing your diet make me more up upset than talking about my shitty shit?
If that’s the case then just ask me how I’m feeling and we can be pissed off together.
I would love to hear that everyone has mastered their double unders!!! Or would that be a lie? If that’s the case then maybe
everyone just lie to me, tell me you’ve been eating perfectly and practicing your double unders!
I’ll see you soon!

The last post was November 9th, the day before this nightmare took place.
You may notice a slight change in my wording this time around, not grammar wise that is always horrible.
Although my phone updated itself and since then the phone fixes all my grammar issues, kinda like Nick would do.
I’m not going to bring up nutrition, i figure in the last 12 weeks you have gotten that issue under control.
Myself, I never realized how much less nutrition you need when you don’t move a muscle on your body for 2 months.
I keep saying I’ll be returning soon but when you feel physically threatened by the Golden Girls, it’s hard to go out of the house.
So, once i feel like I can hold my own in a fight with 90 year old blind woman who has two broken hips, I’ll return to society.
Until then I’ll send my best wishes and the wods.

I’m going to assume you are all in fantastic shape, which to me means being able to … move.
So here, do this wod in under 30 minutes but ya know, correctly.

I just saw a commercial, It was a commercial for Botox for wrinkles and shit.
The commercial says you should put yourself first instead of everyone else.
I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with doing it but what the fuck does it have to do with putting yourself first?
How about eating well and exercising?
Anyway’s …
How about your relationship with food?
Has that changed at all?
It’s difficult to change that without an important enough reason too actually change it.
Of course whatever reason it is that makes you eat well you actually have to believe it. Just thinking “I should be eating well for my health” but not actually believing it, won’t change a thing.
You need to believe that poor nutrition is truly killing you. Think about how you feel when you eat well as opposed to when you don’t eat well, and that’s on the outside. Your insides are begging you to eat well! When you do your body rewards you by feeling well, looking well, focusing well, and sleeping well.
When you don’t eat well your body performs less optimally, right? You may be saying “I feel pretty good and I eat crap”.
You may think you feel good because you have never given yourself the opportunity to see what it feels like to eat well.
If you haven’t given your body the gift of proper nutrition maybe that’s something YOU should do for yourself … or maybe get Botox. Maybe I’m wrong and Botox is the way to go!
Whatever the fuck is in your head that is stopping you from living a healthier lifestyle is exactly that, “in your head”.
No one else gives a fuck about what the fuck you’re doing so get that shit out ya head.
What you should be thinking is how you can better yourself everyday, not about the negative noise from other people or the bullshit manipulative advertisements on the television.
The commercial is correct, put yourself first. They just got caught up in pushing their product.

If you started eating well back in July, by now you should have made a shift in your relationship with food, no?
Food should seem like less of a treat and more of something you need.
If you don’t feel like anything has changed maybe you haven’t eaten well enough for a long enough time, without cheating.
Cheating can’t be a consistent habit. You need to eat well consistently. If you are eating well and cheating consistently as well, this won’t work as well.
I know it’s difficult to cut everything out like coffee creamer, oatmeal and Bananas!
But this is what makes the difference between you looking the way you want too and, not.
