Abs by Friday and Crispy Hundreds

Never underestimate the power of alcohol.
On April 12th after fishing up an old picture on my cellphone.The photo was taken in 2008 during a circuit training session at a friends house which was then the location of the Spike22Academy. Some friends had a look and laughed saying tha the picture was just a thing of the past. i confidently  replied that I could get back to that shape in a week (or so i thought). A friend offered a bet saying otherwise for 100dollars Convinced that I could handle the job I asked them to up the wager to 300dollars. The conversation snowballed and hands were shaken @600dollars. It was a week of real training and good diet. With two 1-hour workouts on Saturday through Monday and then proceeded to Three hard 1hour workouts Tuesday and Wednesday then 4 good workouts on Thursday. Meals were first Granola for breakfast , Bibimbap for Lunch and Granola for dinner with trail mix in between for snacks, from Saturday til Tuesday and then afer that it was nothing but lite tuna straight out of the can for breakfast lunch and dinner the rest of the way staying away from Sodas but with a sugarless coffee in the morning. As the wager was arranged to come correct by high noon, I was only able to get in 40minutes on the Eliptical with a Plyometric Circuit(for the pump) and then a Wrestling, Mitwork and Circuit session before checking in. Arriving just short of the goal from what was a truly difficult endeavor. So leaving with this. Did I just waste 600dollars and hours of hard training? Or rather spend that money well ona slingshot back to fitness…
Regardless it was a good effort and at the very least, proud to have survived those workouts ,surprised to wokthroughassuch accordingly and now eager for a hopefully revamped workout and diet regimen. So the moral of this story is…the best results don’t necessarily come fast and though we should never underestimate the power of alcohol–we can never truly write off the Spirit of Perseverance.

Exhaust the Body. Proceed themind. Culitvate the Spirit.
