Being away from GrowHuge.com and Twitter for the most part, I figured I should let everyone know where I've been. Life has been very busy with the day job. Last week I was in Baltimore for training, and this week I have been swamped getting client firewalls setup and helping another client restructure their IT department. On top of that, I have been working on another passion of mine, which is politics.

I created a separate Twitter ID for this, because I didn't want to alienate my GrowHuge followers. I'm sure my fitness followers come in all political stripes, so I didn't want to offend anyone. Personally, I revel in political disagreements and debate, but I know many people hate political discussion. With the new ID, I also created a blog where I can put my opinions out there and test them out. I love having my ideas challenged. If I win the argument my ideas are stronger. If I lose, I'm that much wiser. So, I've written two blogs so far, and my mind has been going a million miles an hour in that regard.

Also, I was losing steam on the GrowHuge front. We love our members, but building a community site takes either a ton of money to invest in marketing or a ton of focused time to do it grassroots. One of the downfalls of my personality is I get extremely excited about things, but then as the excitement wears off, I tend to move on to something new and exciting. Many times these aren't new things per se, but things such as politics that come in bursts. Anyone who knows me personally will tell you I love politics, but I tend to burn out after elections. Then after a while I get pumped up again, and I'm back at it. Politics is a game that beats you down mentally, because both parties really come up short when it comes to doing what's right in the long term, but enough digressing.

With all this taking place, I lost two weeks of working out. Yesterday, I finally got back on the horse and got my first lift in. I didn't lose too much strength; although squats still sucked. With the lift, came a new sense of excitement that I had previously. I was pumped up.

Xfactor and I want to continue growing GrowHuge.com. Hopefully, we can stay focused and excited enough to do so. We look forward to continuing our little GrowHuge family here, and we hope that you guys help us build the site as well.

Hey, with both my body and my mind, it's time to GrowHuge!
