Michael McDonald is one of my favorite singers of all times. He is definitely among the many greats. This song in particular address the idea of love in a very strange and special way. The tension between going and staying, loving and leaving. It is just a great song (period!)
Lyrics to All In Love Is Fair :
All is fair in love
Love’s a crazy game
Two people vow to stay
In love as one they say
But all is changed with time
The future no one can see
The road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery
But all is fair in love
I had to go away
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair
All of fate’s a chance
It’s either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say
In love with me you’d stay
But all in war is so cold
You either win or lose
When all is put away
The loosing side I’ll play
But all is fair in love
I should never have left your side
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair
All is fair in love
Love’s a crazy game
Two people vow to stay
In love as one they say
But all is changed with time
The future no one can see
The road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery
But all is fair in love
I had to go away
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair
All of fate’s a chance
It’s either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say
In love with me you’d stay
But all in war is so cold
You either win or lose
When all is put away
The loosing side I’ll play
But all is fair in love
I should never have left your side
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

Not a particular good workout today. Â Primarily worked on chest and triceps. Â No shoulders. Â I am going to move shoulders to back day. Â I am at the weight I want to be at, so I have to be careful to maintain. Â I can’t simply cut back too much on my cardio. Â I have to focus add back cardio at the end of my lifts. Â I need to focus on my tracker goal again.

Another awesome workout…really pushed it hard today again. Eating was not as great as the last time I worked legs, but it was sort of ok. I have to make sure I eat properly before working legs.  Pushed 360lbs again on the Hack Squats and I also incorporated regular squats again…haven’t done so in a long time. Really hard time on the hamstring with the lying leg curls. I think it might be because I go so heavy onthe Hack Squats to start with. I also hit the Stiff Leg DeadLifts as well.
