Feel compelled to post this today. As some know underwent surgery 2 weeks ago today. Had twins installed; but it was actually 3 surgeries in one. Surgeon wanted to do this surgery at 2 different intervals but I declined. Did not want to miss the gym now and in 6 months again. He thought I was nuts...but I explained that I have a serious addiction to "iron."
The last 2 weeks has been hell to put it lightly. Physically this has been a piece of cake. Mentally not being in the gym has about taken me to my knees. As you all can relate...the gym is truly something we are addicted to. Its kind of like asking a heroin addict to quit cold turkey. The withdrawal is a bitch! I think there should be a group out there called Iron Addict Anonymous LOL. I would be in full attendance right now
I have been blessed enough to still train a client in the gym; although supposed to be on restricted rest for 2 more weeks. Have to say its been my savior. Nothing like walking in and smelling the smells and hearing the weights hitting the floor. Only way I can put into perspective is its like an airline pilot who loves the smell of jet fuel in the morning LOL.
Woke up today feeling more normal than I have in 2 weeks. Strength is coming back and mental clarity is getting in check! Only 6 more weeks to go until I can lift again, but hell who is counting!
About week 4 I imagine I am going to be like the Tasmanian Devil wearing a hole in my carpet LOL.BUT come 4/1 is my first cycle (lose my virginity) and back in the gym! Oh how I cannot wait to smell the smells and hear the sounds!
Thanks MG family for those have been checking in on me and seeing how recovery is going. The beast in me will unleash soon! I know you all can relate to the "iron withdrawal."
PEACE!!!!!
