am i insane?

“i’m prepping for a bodybuilding show.

i have been in this prep cycle since the end of February. i’m down 28lbs, setting new PRs, and feeling really good in my body. it’s a beautiful thing.

the show is in six weeks. 

yesterday was also my first day at my new job. i’ve been working to get into this role and company for 18 months. i’m excited about the opportunity and having it be part of my story. 

i’m also writing a book. it explains the math, physics, information theory, etc. of how people interact with each other. 

i’m going to release an excerpt of my book on Friday. it will details the anthroponautics of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. 

i’m also a disciple, husband, and father. 

i had a call with my coach, Gillian Ward, yesterday to discuss the final six weeks of prep. the question we need to answer is whether to push my body into the single digits for body fat. 

most think that bodybuilding is a contest of who can workout the hardest. reality is that it’s a contest of who can starve themselves the longest.

if i want to win that contest, i will be a hangry zombie for the next six weeks. steamed tilapia and broccoli every meal. yum.

my ability to think clearly will drop off precipitously.

my performance at work and in my writing will decrease.

my relationships with my family will suffer.

and yet, i still want to do it. 

am i insane?”

this is the prompt i gave ChatGPT. i’ll share its response tomorrow.
