ALRIGHT, I THINK I FINALLY GYM AND AND IT REALLY DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE GYM ITSELF. SO AS I'M WALKING IN, THE COUNCIL INSIDE MY HEAD IS IN A FULL BLOWN MEETING. WORK, LEGO, BOOKS, WHATEVER DRAMA DECIDED RSVP TODAY EACH VERSION OF GEOFF HAS AN OPINION. IT'S JUST NOISE. IT'S JUST NOISE. WELL THEN I START LIFTING. THE AUDIOBOOK TAKES OVER. CONTROL THE WEIGHT, COUNT THE REPS, PICK UP HEAVY THING, PUT HEAVY AND AND FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, THE COUNCIL FINALLY SHUTS THE HELL UP.

Alright, I think I finally figured out why I like going to the gym so much. And it really doesn't have anything to do with the gym itself. So as I'm walking in, the council inside my head is in a full blown meeting. Work, Lego, books, whatever drama decided to RSVP today. Each version of Geoff has an opinion. It's just noise. It's just noise. Well then I start lifting. The audiobook takes over. Control the weight, count the reps, pick up heavy thing, put heavy thing down. And for about an hour, the council finally shuts the hell up. My brain quits trying to solve and just focuses on what's right in front of me. But then I finish, and before I can stop and reflect and say, "Damn, I look good," the council meeting gets called back to order. Meeting adjourned.
