Hey that's coming up isnt it. Give em hell.
Some pretty major athletes in this thread.
I commend you for not being annoyed with all my ramblings if your only on 1200 cals.
Ya know.. one more thing.. I noticed that MMA athletes and this relates to what Cory was saying, and who are no doubt some of the finest athletes in modern time, after getting beat on and sometimes losing they still do not get all angry and still keep a level head.
Like when Randy Couture lost this last time and he really got clobbered he still has the calmness to talk coherantly about what happened and he doesnt get all worked up.
What I'm saying is really highly trained athletes like you DD and really Cory and Dyna Mo as well have a certain peace about you, a certain natural high that I believe only comes from having your body in fantastic shape.
It is really commendable. Kind of like George Reeves in the old Superman was. Always calm and amicable and pleasant to be around. They have an air of confidence. They know they are tough. They dont have to have an ego along for the ride all the time.
You really see that in MMA fighters. A humbleness and natural peace and clarity.
That is a pretty cool side benefit of being in great shape.
Thanks everyone.
