Shirts

 Ahhhh gym shirts...I generally peek at the shirts people wear because well, they are wearing them.  Generally if there are phrases or saying on them a shirt may give you a clue into a tiny piece of who they are or what they believe.


Yesterday, while lifting my tiny dead lifts, saw a shirt on one of the many buff folks at the gym:


                                                    Discipline

                                                    -------------

                                                    Motivation


I saw it...then I SAW it.  Ahhhh my young buff dude....yes.  Thank you for reminding this old lady.  Motivation comes and goes....I, frankly, have had none since my Doc warned me I probably tore the Achilles...like 3 months before the diagnosis...Probably January of last year...then add the last year to the mix...and yeah....blah.

I started to feel bad because....well that is my automatic go to...then I saw the young buff dude walk past me again...and as though a muscled light had come on in the dark, or a buff glass of water showed up when I was thirsty....I thought again....

Oh....yea...I may not be doing the motivated thing...but since the gyms reopened in June and excepting some missed workouts here and there and purposeful weeks off here and there...guess what you silly old broad....you HAVE shown discipline. I may not be getting the "training" in I do when I am "motivated," but I am going to the gym.

Now if I can just show some discipline with what I eat....
