Pain Is Just A Reminder

Two good training days in a row. I feel like my strength is going back up and I am able to focus more.
I am working on weeding out the unimportant things in my life and trying to keep my stress levels low. Anyone who knows me knows that I tend to get easily stressed and let it effect my mind AND body.
So its time to focus on family, friends, and training and forget about money, bills, chick problems, etc. Lets push some weight!
