M4:D17 (D317) Lift, pause, repeat

What's on my mind today?

I did some thinking today about the importance of weight training in my program.  It is the foundation of everything I do.  I eat to support the repair process that happens as a result of my lifting.  I lift hard and with intensity.  I lift as heavy as I possibly can.  It makes me feel good to lift.

I am really ready for Monday.  I have taken the week off of lifting to let my body recover.  I have missed it tremendously.  At the same time, my body feels energized. I have been dialing in the nutrition getting ready for a big week ahead of me.  I have alot on my mind and as a result, lifting next week is going to be therapeutic.  I am going to need the stress relief.

I spent alot of time interviewing a candidate for a programming position.  I even brought him in to meet the CEO (my boss) and the Director of Marketing.  Everyone loved him.  I made him an offer and he verbally agreed that it was a great offer.  Unfortunately, he ended up declining my offer.  Now I am back to the drawing board.  It is alot like working out.  You lift, you pause, you repeat.  Now I get to interview, make an offer, repeat.  It stinks, but it is the situation I am given and I will deal with it.

I have some personal issues going on right now that are also stressing me out. There are some pretty serious things going on right now that I am going to have to deal with.  My regimen is going to be even more important to me as I forge ahead with life's issues.  It is not easy and it won't get any easier, but I will prevail.
