By nature I am a person who likes to compete - For the right reasons...
To this point I have depicted myself as a somewhat level headed, driven individual who likes to get the job done.
I would like to think so at least...
Funny thing actually. My cousin (we haven't spoken in a short while, normal thing with us) says to me we should compete in power lifting, via our weight class ( 100kg -110kg ) I think that's correct.
Reason why is... I was in the gym the other day and was benching 120kg and had a crowd in amazement at this. I don't want to come across as arrogant, but I have seen people lift loads more and I am determined to go further. I am driven to do loads when it comes to strength and fitness.
From Feb when I began taking the weight loss seriously I have worked from 50kg benching up to 120kg benching.
So in about 2 months I've gone up 70kgs and lost 20kgs in weight in the process.
Fun times.
My new goal is to reach 250kg benching in about 6 months to 1 year. I don't wanna snap my body up.
So from here on in, I am pushing it to the limit.

Ignorance
It's been a short minute since I last posted...
Sometimes when you go through a hard patch.
Look at the people and scenarios you place yourself within / surround yourself with.
Ignorance certainly is not bliss when you behave as ignorance does.
So rather than live in a perpetual cycle, be the bigger person, behave appropriately and calculate to handle the situation when you're calm. The amount of fights I have gotten in to that could have been avoided if I used a different approach.
I now always employ diplomacy over violence, even when my blood curdles, as violence never truly solves disputes. So pull yourself out of the rut, start afresh and find that others will start to treat you differently for doing so.
I think sometimes you come to the realisation that it is impossible to be genuinely positive all the time, but when your chips are down, at very least, remember to be positive, that will steer you in the right direction momentarily.
