Since tomorrow is a rest day, I will use today as a night of reflection and getting some things off my chest.

I just got back from the school from doing my workout and I have come to a few observations.

1. I hate my shoulder. It still hurts randomly and today it hurt. I really think the reason is because I have not taken the freakin miracle supplement for the past 3 days- BPI Sports Blox. If you haven't tried this stuff, do it. NOW. I took that stuff and had ZERO pain. Stop taking it for 3 days and boom and sorts of hurt. (I suggest buying it from me (click that and buy it!)because well... its me, and I sell it cheaper than anyone else.)

2. Working out by yourself SUCKS. I was all by myself, in my place of employment, late at night. It was terrible. I had no motivation to do anything at all. I actually began Fran- which I was looking forward to and I stopped after 5 pullups on the 15. Why you might ask? I dont really know. I just gave up. So I have come the conclusion that I NEED to workout with people. I had stopped going to CF Harrisburg in May because of a misunderstanding, but I also was trying to save money. We are trying to buy a house, and if anyone knows anything about starting up a business, it costs a lot. So if it is OK with Frankie, me and Tiffany would love to get back into the swing of things at Harrisburg (let me know Frankie). We love the atmosphere and all the people. We would have to cut down and split a membership and come just 3 days a week, but it will be 3 great workouts and camaraderie. I am going to be purchasing (tomorrow) a bar and bumper plates (because I sell that too, and at a very good price, once again cheaper than anyone else, so anyone interested let me know) and I will be doing my strength stuff and just some Bodyweight and Barbell WOD's at home in the days we are not at Harrisburg. This will allow me to accomplish the things I want to work on extra at home, and I can do whatever they have in store for us at Harrisburg.

3. Mental toughness is critical. Lately I have had no mental toughness at all. Working out by myself has brought out the worst in me. I have quit and done worse on more WOD's than I ever have before. I just have no one next to me that I am trying to beat. We would really like to do a local competition as a team and do well, and I need to push myself to lead the team. I have not stopped because I physically couldnt do anymore, I stopped because my mind was weak.

On a positive note, my wife is a BAMF. She cleaned 135 today. She squats 225. She now officially squats and cleans more than half of my football players. I am kind of embarrassed, but also proud. CrossFit Footall here we come!
