Fouad Talks about dieting through the holidays
What do ya think?
"Somebody asked me the other day what my New Year's resolution was going to be for 2011? I told them I have been on top of my New Year's resolution for the last six weeks. Civilians don't understand how we do it. How can you go through the holidays and not drink, not eat, not party? How is that possible? I guess the average person doesn't understand that what we as competitors do is bigger than ourselves. We are able to get past the holiday cheer and see the bigger picture. We know that every meal, every rep, every set matters from day 1 until show time.
The one thing I did notice was walking through the mall two days before Xmas can be interesting for someone like me. There are a few different types of people:
1. The old woman or man who are totally in awe by what we do and usually the little old lady has to get a bicep feel...lol.
2. The average gym warrior who walks through the mall and looks at you and wants to take another look but wants to maintain his pride.
3. Then there are the women who are speed shopping and blow right through your shoulder only to realize it’s not easy to move bodybuilder of my size. From there I get a dirty look like its my fault I'm this size and I should be banned from the mall altogether.
4. Lastly, you have two types of kids; ones that stare at you like your a comic book character and want to reach out and start wrestling and two, the kinds that run for the nearest parent and scream in fear that such a human exists. Gotta love'em, all those people make for a pretty interesting shopping day."
