Today i met a gentleman at the gym
he was sitting in the sauna. Trying to sweat and lose weight and  his health and fitness he was trying to win

I put out my hand to shake his, hand, and i told him, congratulations, you made it here to the gym
then  i shook his hand again and i told  him to pat himself on the back, and minute by minute set your goal and your health-minute by minute you can win

I told him that my top weight was--404--and im down now to--258,6 and minute by-minute to  set a goal and a mission. There is no trick
i asked him what was his weight. He told me he now is at his highest-weight of---380-- his stature was short and very thick

I told him -about-my mission to become a --TRIATHLETE
and my focus and mission to be the best -- great and -ELITE

I told him, that i have been where he now stands
i told him i understand all of the  struggles. Challenges.  and  daily  every  day--demands
i tried to encourage him and inspire him to be gentle  and kind with himself
and set short  realistic goals  minute by minute to win. Back  his --health
