Wanna know what I do for training each and everyday? Well, of course not every training session is the same but here's a taste of what life is like for me going through my paces as a lifter. and an athlete.

Morning session: Overhead Squats- worked up to 110kilos (7 reps), deadlifted 195kilos and ended off with standing military presses- 2 sets of 80kilos for 3 reps each and 90kilos for 2reps.

Evening session: Snatches with 95kilos for 5 sets of 3 reps (that's 15 snatches in total), clean and jerks with 110 for 3 sets of 3 reps (that's 9 clean&jerks in total) and ending off the workout with olympic squats, going 160kilos for 3 reps.

Kinda gets you going doesn't it? Imagine, all that coupled with a full day in school and a 15minute walk home from the busstop? I guess I'd pretty much have the right to say that I'd be pretty tired wouldn't I?

Well guess what. Coming home, my dad steps out of the house saying he's going to get dinner for me. I really appreciated the favour. But when I get in the house, what do I get? A verbal lashing.
"Why aren't you helping your father?! You should be buying your own food!"
"Ma, can't you understand I'm really exhausted? (very patient tone)
"What?! What kind of an athlete are you? You're such a disgrace!"

Mom, you had no idea how much I wanted to slap you for that.
Guys, how would you feel if someone were to give you those comments at the end of the day? It was painful.Just painful. And telling me that I'm not worthy to be an athlete didn't make things better.

I'm just thankful I'm home, I'm fed and I know I'll get better over time.

Right now, my mind's just going through this....'state'. The one I think about..she might be reading this for all I know. You don't know that it's you yet but I guess things will unfold over time.
And if you read this, I wanna let you know that I'll be the one who won't hold back sharing the feelings. I won't be the one who'll hold back on the emotions. I wanna be the one who shares the thoughts and who shares your company.

Tu est belle beaucoup mon cherie. Si la vie est belle.
