I use to get picked on for being the smallest guy around. I dreamt of professional sport but my size kept me from it. It stripped me of my confidence and will to take what was mine. The moment I picked up that 1st dumbbell was the moment I picked up the reigns and took control of my own life.
Why I Love It:
Its the most honest experience in this world. Whether your having a good day or a bad day at work. Whether you girl is cheating on you or your bank account is empty. 200 pounds stays 200 pounds. The weight never changes. It doesn't care what you look like, it doesn't judge your past or question your future. Either you can lift the weight or you can't. It's black and white. No bull****.

I’m sitting outside a small coffee shop in Johannesburg waiting to go into a meeting. I have an awesome view of an old abandoned mine shaft. All that’s left from this once glorious mine, is the skeleton of an old shaft sinker and the faint echo of men rejoicing for they have found Elysium....
LOL Yes I do :) It just sounds like something...well...something off of Oprah LOL And what's this about self-awareness??? Haha, I'm very aware of myself :) Awww, just gotta give you a bad time...especially since you keep calling me Ivy...I'm really not that poisonous :)
Ja ja,hy's ma nog bietjie gevoelig.Nie seer as ek da druk of vryf nie,ma as ek hom optel of iets optel. Sal hom ma bietjie laat rus. Hoe's dinge da in GP?
Nope, not a single one ;) Done many stupid things, but if I didn't I wouldn't be righ here right now and most importantly who I am :) Hope same applies to u!
Sweet. Its always nice to mix it up a little here and there. Different atmosphere different people, always makes for a good workout. I myself have 4 different gyms that I rotate through just to keep it interesting.
LOL Really? :) I don't have a PO Box...just a normal address. Why don't you just tell me about the book? LOL Well we'll have to talk about this some more later...it's way past my bedtime. Have a good day there :)
LOL! Well I didn't feel like passing out during my cardio this week, so I decided to take it slower...still eating really well though :) So no, I'm not gonna eat turkey and all that greasy stuff...no way...not after all this work I've been doing. Haha, no you can't have my address :) And I thought I was persistent...
LOL No, I just have to stay up late cuz I have all this stuff to do before I can leave for Thanksgiving tomorrow...my weights are gonna suck in the morning :( So what's going on there?
LOL No :) I didn't write you back this morning though, did I? Haha, sometimes I miss one on accident cuz there's so many...not lying LOL Well I'm here now :)
Always been the way I want to live; follow your heart and no regrets! It's not easy to do it, but worth it :) Just wanted to share, cuz a lot of people let their life just pass them by.
