Never get off the boat.

Sometimes we fail. Sometimes we don't even know we are failing until it is too late. Boo-fucking-hoo. I got a frantic phone call today. Someone I love became complacent and now the weight is coming back. Let this be a cautionary tale. You cannot reach a goal and then think you will maintain by not working just as hard. She'll be fine. I have every faith that this was a momentary lapse of judgement. But it should serve as a reminder that we should always be cognizant of what's going on with our bodies.

Willard of Apocalypse Now said it. Never get off the boat. Absolutely goddamn right! As long as you are working your hardest everyday, these things won't happen. Gaining weight can feel horrible, like losing the war. Don't let it stick to you like napalm.

Smell that?

What?

Napalm. Nothing else in the world smells like it. I love the smell of napalm in the morning.... The smell, you know that gasoline smell? The whole hill smelled like....victory. Someday this war is gonna end.
