  • Promise to Myself
    I, Michael Strazzere, promise myself the following: I will wake up tomorrow am at 5am and go to the gym. At the gym I will do 4 sets of pushups, abs, treadmill and sauna. After the gym, I will get my packages from my dad’s house. I can’t go on like this anymore. I’m beggingContinue reading “Promise to Myself”
  • Despair
    67 days off of Adderall and it is seemingly getting worse by the day. A heart attack wasn’t enough. Having to change my life wasn’t enough. Now, I’m a corpse of my former self. I don’t what the fuck caused the heart attack. It could have been anything. I cut high in cholesterol food out,Continue reading “Despair”
  • What if….
    What if you don’t have to be motivated to do something hard, you just fight through the pain, depression and fatigue. What if you don’t stop waiting to be someone and do something worthwhile before it’s too late. What if you stop feeling bad and DO SOMETHING about it. Even if it is HARD. WhatContinue reading “What if….”
  • The Art of a Broken Heart
    Post Heart Attack Journal: I haven’t been on my blog in quite awhile. I was simply cruising through life, average. Barely hanging in there. Staying the same because I was to cowardly to really change. I was just going through the motions. I needed something. I needed a spark to wake me the fuck up.Continue reading “The Art of a Broken Heart”
  • And Again.
    It has been a very tough 2024, physically and mentally. After yet another clean break up for which I’m much better off, to a bad back, then a two week sickness, I’m fucking back tomorrow. At 220 😟. Tomorrow starts a mission for me. 20 lbs in 32 days. It will be done. In 32Continue reading “And Again.”
  • The Daily Fight
    I’m back after, not necessarily tine off, but just time slacking off. I’ve hung in there and set a great foundation for myself. I was cruising, as far as lifting, running and consistency was going. Can’t say the same about diet, so I’ve stayed around 210-212. Then, a few issues popped up. My back wasContinue reading “The Daily Fight”
  • Goals for end of 2024
    I do t have physical resolutions. I’ve started these goals already. Just need a number or accomplishment to stay accountable and for something to shoot towards. So here they are. Posted on my wall as well. 1. Be Alive 2. 40k push-ups 3. Complete 5k 4. polar plunge 5. 12% body fat 6. Get outContinue reading “Goals for end of 2024”
  • Bad back BUT I’ll be back!!
    I hate my back. I fucking hate it. However. It is what it is. It’s bad. But it will get fixed and I will come back again, stronger than ever. Period. This time will be different. I’ve set new goals in life… outside of weight and diet. I’ve opened up time to work hard physically.Continue reading “Bad back BUT I’ll be back!!”
  • Full Winter Cut
    I know I should probably bulk up in winter and cut in spring. BUT, I just don’t do good with a lot of food at separate times. I’m going to stick to ONE meal, which I haven’t been doing, which will consist of meat, eggs and limited dairy. That’s that. I will be getting myContinue reading “Full Winter Cut”
  • Winter Goals
    I’ve been consistent. I’ve made some goals and I’ve missed some goals, but I’ve always been consistent. Some goals are seemingly easily attainable and leave me room for error. Error such as using sugar free sauces, drinking occasionally creating restarts, eating more than I should and throwing in foods that don’t really go with theContinue reading “Winter Goals”
