Winter, depression and training
About this time of year when the sun disappears, I fall off the workout wagon, smoke cigarettes, get mad at myself and fight like hell to get back. Any suggestions will be sincerely appreciated.
You asked for it: When depression strikes me I pray extra passionately to God Almighty. Jesus is my rock.
On a more secular level, try adding vitamin D to your diet. D comes from the sun and supplies are low in the winter months. Also, 5-HTP, a serotonin precursor, might stimulate the brain’s production and add to mental well-being.
Remind yourself regularly of the richness of discipline and sensible weight training and the deathly curse of smoking, guilt and serious self-deprecation. Remind yourself of the consequences of carelessness and personal disrespect and irresponsibility.
Humble yourself wisely. Don’t wait till death stares you in the face and breathe it’s hot stench upon you. You’re in control, or you’re not, your choice, your decision.
Trust me… I’ve watched and recorded the dark process close and up front.
Train hard, eat right, be strong, waste not another dime or breath on the devilish, murderous devices.
Iron, might, right eating, rest and grateful thoughts… not smoking and poking and stinking self-condemnation.
Invest in and ingest Bomber Blend. Your weekly cigarettes cost about the same as a tub of the best-tasting and greatest musclebuilding protein in the World. Forward or backward, which way to go?
Go… Dave
