One of my clients directed me to a quote that got me fired up for the gym today....here is the quote:
"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.”- Arnold Schwarzenegger

When i read the quote it was almost as though i could picture Arnold saying it to me.....Theres no way i was going to feel sorry for myself.....just work around this and keep moving forward......Iam under 5 weeks to go!!! LETS DO THIS!

Injury Update: What injury....I AM A MACHINE!

In all seriousness i feel a lot better today....THANK GOD!
