Sunday morning.
Yesterday I was working at the clinic. We have a studio that offers yoga classes and various workout classes. In the morning, before I started my shift, there was an intro class to Kettlebell. I joined, I was curious. It was so much fun! I decided to sign up for the next 2 months. Call me crazy, my schedule is already so packed but since I have to go there anyway... It just has to be one hour earlier.
Ok, now time for a ranting about Thomas, sorry this is the only place I can talk about it!
Thomas called me on wednesday saying he needed my help. He decided to do something about himself, quit smoking, eat food, exercise. I was very happy for him. But scared at the same time.
Of course, when we had met last sunday he was nice, and loving, and open to discussion. I had a great time.
When he asked for my help, I clearly told him I wouldn't be his friend. I wouldn't help him to feel better and see him go away after that. He said he would never use me. I reminded him that when we were together he had this, the healthy eating, the workouts, that I had offered him a million times to join me, he just said: "I know, I never had good things happening to me before and I don't know how to react." I call Bullshit!!
And to be honest, I am wondering if he is bi-polar or if it's a real wake-up. The way he approaches his new goal is scary. All at once, no respect for his injured shoulder, he bought the P90X program and wants to start it right away, full force.
Conclusion, I went to his place yesterday afternoon, to help him figure out the nutrition part, but he already had looked into it. We watched a workout DVD, I found it very difficult, hundreds of pullups and pushups, and tried to tell him maybe that was not a good idea with his shoulder. He looked at me and said: "but I have to!"
That kind of "sealed the deal". He will get obsessed with this the same way he was obsessed last year with the backyard project, to the point where he fell into depression from exhaustion and dumped me in the process. I am done with this. Not getting hurt twice.
Life is full of surprises... Happy Sunday buddies!
