Next week is a deload, but 2 weeks will be very interesting methinks. I made it through all the reps obviously, but both the squat and bench call for 15 more pounds next time. I will say, if I make it through I think I'll feel like fucking Superman.

The session was going decent, but ran into a speed bump in the middle. I won't go into specifics, but I contemplated shutting it down. Instead, I decided to push through and get it done, and wallow in my sorrows later.

As I sat there feeling sorry for myself and all the fuckups in my life that have brought me to this point, I kept reminding myself that I have no choice but to move forward. We can't fix decisions that have been made. We can change the consequences of those actions. But we can try to learn from the mistakes and make better decisions from here onward.

Time is the one thing everyone has. We all start with the same amount, every day. And we can choose to spend it on whatever we want. But you must also realize that it is never wasted, because you have decided where it will go. The sooner you realize that, the sooner you can decide where you will spend your minutes, hours, and days. 

The time that has been spent is gone. The time that is to come is not here. Be aware of your current status, and where you want to be. Start walking the path, prepared to meet whatever obstacles will inevitably be in your way head on. I can say from (admittedly brief) experience that a life lived in this fashion is the only way to live. Go get what you want. Work for it. Earn it.
