Every so often some guy will call me and talk up his gym and tell me to come see it. The invited trek is obviously designed to get some free publicity out of Romano. If you deserve it, that's cool. But, sometimes I get wrapped up in situations that are just ludicrous. It makes keeping an open mind a little difficult.
Someone asked me today if I miss living in Mexico. Of course I do. The fact that I'm living again in the United States was a notion totally inconceivable when I moved down to Mexico, permanently, in 1999. I had moved there with my wife and son for good. Unfortunately, my so-called "partner in life" had other ideas and ultimately forced a very unfortunate hand. I've spent the last five years missing every bit of the amazing life I had down there and counting the days until I can move back. In the mean time I'm noticing that I'm not alone in realizing that earning dollars and spending Pesos is an economic paradise.
Motivation is the key to bringing any of your physical aspirations to fruition because it's consistency, above anything else, that brings on results. It's always easy in the beginning, but after a while everyone finds the urge to get-up-and-go to the gym waning. For some it's a passing thing - like a cold or the flu - for others, it's their downfall; something they can't escape. It beckons them to the couch like Mohamed to the mountain; the remote gets stuck to their hand, their muscles shrink and their bellies swell... it's not pretty.
