Gravity is My Enemy

As the day’s end nears I wanted to write a brief commentary on my mindset the first day back into CrossFit. I didn’t sleep much last night and woke before 6 AM today to get to the workout. I got my butt kicked in the WOD (Workout of the Day) as I mentioned in my previous post.

So how do I feel at the end of the day? Better than I have in weeks. I’m not going to lie, I probably do need to sleep a little more, but my energy levels are high and my mental state is positive. As far as the mental state is concerned I attribute it to two things.

1. First and foremost I made time for my morning prayer. Even though I was feeling sick and was in a rush, I made this a priority. I firmly believe you need to start out each day by talking to the Lord. Some of you may feel differently about this, and that is another conversation, but time has shown me the differences in my days when I do and don’t.
2. My workout this morning gave me a great boost. My re-commitment back into CrossFit is exciting to me. It just gets me going.

So I ran through the day going 100 miles an hour. I’m looking forward to a nice relaxing drive back to Tampa and some time with the family this evening.

So do you need energy drinks to blaze through the day. I would say no. Kicking your day off with the two things mentioned above and proper nutrition have always done the trick for me. People have mentioned there is a noticeable difference on these days. When I get home my wife will probably point this out. Literally I feel like I’m on cloud 9 right now. When I have the feeling I have right now, it is probably the same feeling that Michael Jordan got when he would go out and light up the other team. You feel like no one can stop you and there is nothing you can’t do.

Stay tuned over the next few days because I plan on writing about something which some of you may disagree and be offended by. I don’t think it’s ok to be proud to be a fatty. I feel very strongly about this. Can’t wait to say why.
