A Dream Deferred

At the beginning of this year I had lofty personal and professional goals. The professional ones are currently going smoothly, but the personal ones which to me are the most important are not. When I started my blog I wanted the title to have multiple meanings. So now you thinking how many meanings can Heavy Weight have? I intended for it to have several. Meaning number one, after losing around 80 pounds I’m still a heavy weight. You may look at this and think I’m not satisfied with my weight loss. That could not be the farthest from the truth, I am very proud of my accomplishment. At the same time I am not under the impression that I am done with my journey. Second one, I planned on documenting me lifting various heavy objects and hopefully I could get some of yall to do the same. Third one is that I’m a long time fan of boxing and we all know who is the most celebrated of all the boxers. That’s right the Heavy Weight Champion. I believe that I have the heart of a champion and I am committed to be being better . So you see I had big plans for this year. But sadly, due to injuries I have not been able to live up to my expectations. I have the heating pad on my back and feeling like I need to just say to hell with it and lift something. But I am not going to do it, because I’m being smarter about my training and recovery. Now there are two ways that this story can end. I can sit and feel sorry for myself and just give up, pop pills and keep a heating pad on my back forever. Or I can stay focused, rehab properly and come back stronger just like a true Heavy Weight Champion would do. Hmmm, which one will I choose?
