CHALLENGE INSPIRATIONLike a battered, war-weary veteran, I return to the Rangers once more.

Lately it’s been everything I can do to even attend regular classes and keep up with work week meal prep, otherwise I’ve been scarfing down a lot of garbage and either going wildly over or vastly under my recommended macros.  My life has been chaos, in a constant state of upheaval, for weeks now.  Fate is inexorable, but a man has control over his own actions if nothing else.

Enough is enough.  The CrossFit Games Open is coming in February and I haven’t had a ring muscle-up in months… that’s unacceptable.  I need to get my weight down a bit to reclaim my gymnastic abilities, and I need to start pulling my weight on the forums.  With that in mind, you’re all my Accountibilibuddies this challenge!

Yeah. Basically the point I'm standing behind (except I think you said it more elegantly than 'shit happens, but I'm gonna do what I do anyway').

The universe sees fit to hand us whatever blessings please them most; what ultimately matters is what we do with these gifts while we're here.

 

I like to think I use my wordsmithery to inspire, at least occasionally.

I would love to see that welcome back speech, but #MomoaMonday is actually a #MomoaEveryday mentality.  I just try to share the love with my other inspirations/eye candy like #WeidaWednesday and #SackhoffSunday.  Might need to brainstorm a few others.  ;)

 

The time went with the Warriors was indeed time well spent.  Thanks!

Forgot to mention/answer this part. I'm getting my happy ass back in the gym!  It's been too damn long since I've picked shit up and put shit down.  So that's happening.  

 

I don't know about crushing anything, but stopping the suckage counts too, right? :P
