My meditation room ...

I've got a lot going on in my life besides work and the gym. It's all good stuff ... but it's a lot of stuff. So to de-stress in the past I tried traditional meditation. But I don't think I'm ready for that. There's something that works better for me now. My meditation room is the gym. Seriously. I'm not just making this up. When the sweat begins to bead on my forehead and my heart starts to beat in my chest ... that's when I start coming down from my day. In fact, yesterday when I went to train with Paul he asked me how I was doing. I was very frustrated about something I was dealing with and I told him so. He said "I'll make you forget about that quickly." Well, within 5 minutes of the workout I forgot all about it. I was focused on my training. And by the end of the workout ... I was smiling ... I had a bounce in my step ... and the frustration was gone. And I carried that into today's workout ... and hopefully ... the rest of the week ... in fact it better carry on for the next 15 weeks!!!

Workout: Chest and Back
Second-wind song courtesy of Maestro Fresh Wes: Drop the Needle ... here are my favorite lyrics from that song:

(yo Maestro, tell 'em what you wear)
I wear a black tuxedo
Black tuxedo
Black-black-black (oh my God)
A black tuxedo with the cumberband damn
