Fear of Change
Fear of change can keep you in a soul-crushing job, a bad relationship, or a physically destructive lifestyle. Ask yourself; is the devil-you-know approach good enough for you? Is your life making you happy? If you answered no to either of those questions, WHAT do you have to lose by embracing change?
The truth is, things should be changing ” your body is changing, your habits are changing, your attitude is changing. This might be the point where, because of so much change, you're starting to freak out a little bit. You might be asking yourself, What will all this change mean” to my life's direction, my relationships, my identity?

LAST CHANCE WORKOUT
Do you ever feel stressed out, and need a shot of inspiration?
If the answer is yes, then take a deep breath, and…
Escape to the Beauty, the Wonder and the Joy of Nature
To a mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders. ~Chang Tsu
To me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle. Every cubic inch of space is a miracle. ~Walt Whitman
Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without words, and never stops at all. Emily Dickinson

I've been able to add in Gleutamine. Will be going for body fat this week. Let's see how well my body likes me!

Finding out through all of this, how "focused" I have become. "Focus" may enter "determination". I've come to realize that all around me, if I don't know how these two words inter relate in their lives. About Focus and determination. I cannot underestimate such elements.

Hi Jill how's it going, keeping up on your exercising. Don't forget to change it up so your body won't get used to the same routine. You don't won't plato.

What does it take to be NUMBER ONE!
I love football! My longest punt, 42 yards. Ok, so I follow what sayings are out there for inspiration, truth, etc.! There are many “descriptions” am sure of what it takes to be “number one”! But, what “DOES” it take? Here is from Vince L.
COMMITMENT : since “Winning is not a sometime thing, it is an all the time thing. You don’t do things right once in a while…you do them right all the time.”
This “MaxFormation” for me is for a lifestyle change into a healthy presentation and more of me to commit towards the goals ahead in my life, as I come to learn to open my life up.
(did you get it – did you see “the Biggest Looser” last night)! “This week the roles were reversed at the Ranch.
Before joining The Biggest Loser most of the contestants had never even attempted to work out on their own.
At the Ranch they depend on Bob and me to teach them how to lose weight. But how well were they learning?
Could the students become the teachers?” (Who's Got the Power?)( Emotions Run Deep was clearly upset by this week's twist.
Bob kept pushing her to tell him the reason why, but she refused to show any emotion or to express herself.
Jillian finally decided to step in to try to get her to open up, pushed her to explain how she felt about her 9-year-old daughter, back at home, having her same habits as her and her grandmother (Migdalia's mom, the Green Team's Miggy) and growing up to be overweight too. Instead of giving me answers about why she was doing this, she gave up and walked out.
After some pleading from Miggy and Bob, Migdalia decided not to quit. Later on, Miggy talked with Migdalia some more. She's glad her daughter does recognize she need helps and in time will be willing to get it.
(Knowledge Is Power)( Unraveling the Problem)( Did They Teach Them Enough?)
TRUTH: “Truth is knowing that your character is shaped by your every day choices.”
EXCELLENCE TO RESULTS: “Winning is not everything – but making the effort to win is.”
PASSION: “There’s only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything. I do, and I demand my players do.” Vince L.
HABIT: “The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a LACK OF WILL.”
MENTAL TOUGHNESS: “If you’re lucky enough to find a PERSON with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he’s never going to come off the field second.”
DISCIPLINE: It’s in a SIMPLE TRUTH…a GIFT OF INSPIRATION! www.simpletruths.com
DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?

WHEN DO YOU KNOW

January 12, 2010

When do you know, that you want to go work out? Is it more than just scheduling of it's "time to go workout"!
Is it "boring" at the thought? Or inspired because you're now knowing something "huge" is about to change inside of you, and occur to a total and new you!
Has the weather shared it's shadows of the clouds or do you still want to go to the gym in the rain or sunshine?
Do you wait until your "favorite" short or "T-shirt" is out of the dryer first? Or do you just jump into anything?
To jump at a chance where your body is craving the new workout?
What do you do to your body?
Feed it water, if any?
How much?
That lingering question which poses another for what do I eat, how much, when?
Sounds like a novel of a mystery saga.
Have you allowed anyone into your inner circle, yet!
To hold that word "accountability" up and point it in your direction? Or does it seem like a mirror advancing towards you, and can you handle the mirror now?
As you've avoided the mirror before.
It showing the truth and flaws and change from a body over whelmed with weight.
Now pursuing an adventure where weight loss is giving way to healthy choices and a perspective that it seems like anything is obtainable. Even if for one moment, that is attain your moments in the gym towards the new you!
Well, what are you waiting for? Go get your shoes on!
Let's do it people! Grab your music, your inspiration, Jillian or your trainers voice and stick it in your ear and turn up the volume!
Not that loud, you'll get hard of hearing! :)
Last one in the water looses!

Even Eagles Need A Push
THE PUSH
The eagle gently coaxed her offspring toward the edge of the nest. Her heart quivered with conflicting emotions as she felt their resistance to her persistent nudging. “WHY does the thrill of soaring have to begin with the fear of falling?” she thought. This ageless question was still unanswered for her. As in the tradition of the species, her nest was located high upon the shelf of a sheer rock face.
Below there was nothing but air to support the wings of each child. “Is it possible that this time it will not work?” she thought. Despite her fears the eagle knew it was time. Her parental mission was all but complete.
There remained one final task… The eagle drew courage from an innate wisdom. Until her children discovered their wings, there was no purpose for their lives. Until they learned how to soar,
They would fail to understand the privilege it was to have been born an eagle. THE PUSH was the greatest gift she had to offer. It was her supreme act of love. And so, one by one she PUSHED them…and they FLEW. THE PUSH sometimes we need it…Sometimes we need to give it…It can be the greatest gift you ever give It will change a life forever. www.simpletruths.com

Can one imagine just how many minutes we each go through so equally in a year!
1 year = 525 948.766 minutes
(not unless a leap year)
Break these minutes down and see how many minutes are from December to June!
From a new year coming 2010 and to June!
Aspire to new heights and look beyond the stars to aim higher!
I want to really begin a Journal; my journey!
Where is this going to take me? Like the photo of the creek. Where it ebbs and flows to it's place amongs't the creek side's. To the river's, to the ocean!
Keep my goals in front and find my foot steps following the way to the goals I've written out!
If the minutes were dollars, then how would you invest them?

"Dreams are whispers from the soul
finding your purpose and passion in life
far away there in the sunshine are my
highest aspirations.
I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them,
and follow where they may lead."
-Louisa May Alcott
Our dreams are very personal, but...
Carl Sandburg said it best..."Nothing
happens...
But first a dream."

At 211 degrees, water is hot.
At 212 degrees, it boils.
And with boiling water, comes steam.
And steam can power a locomotive.
One extra degree...
makes all the difference.
And, the one extra degree of effort in business and in life...separates
the good from the great!
The average margin of victory for the last 25 years in all major tournaments combined was less than three strokes.
The margin for victory between an Olympic Gold Medal and no medal at all is extremely small.
In the 2004 Mens 800m race
the margin of victory was .71 seconds.
At the Indy 500...The average margin for victory for the past 10 years has been 1.54 seconds.
On average the winner took home $1,278,813
the second place prize was $621,321
a difference of $657,492
It's your life.
You are responsible for the results.
It's time to...turn up the heat.
To get what we've never had
we must do
what we've never done
212(degree) (attitude)
The only thing that stands between a person and what they want in life is the will to try it and the faith to believe it possible.
212 (degree) (kindness)
It is one of the most beautiful compensations in life...
we can never help another without helping ourselves. (Ralph Waldo Emerson).
212 (degree) (belief)
Belief fuels enthusiasm, and enthusiasm explodes into passion. It fires our souls and lifts our spirits.
212(degree) (focus)
Having a simple, clearly defined goal can capture the imagination and inspire passion. It can cut through the fog like a beacon in the night.
212(degree) (perseverance)
Perseverance is not a long race: It is many short races, one after another. Walter Elliot
You are now aware
You now have a target for everything you do...

I always find those "tid bits" of information! Those little pieces of either inspired words or notations for doing the simple disciplined hard things which create huge rewards and beyond. Where goals change to keep up and to create such a foundation inside a person's character. It is special and a blessing, as these element's are what winner's are made of. Watch them, study them, every mini movement. Nothing is wasted. Nothing is more real than their present focused on goal. Like a lion on prey. Such intensity of hearing that you couldn't get near a horse within a country mile as they're so keen on their surroundings and so focused on that which is at hand. Not side tracked, not doing anything but eating clean. Pushing and then that little bit more.

You may want to try Max DeLite in place of your diet soda craving. Max DeLite will give you energy but also have a thermogenic and cleansing effect. Best of all, Max DeLite will help you get motivated.

After being divorced for over two years, I started dating this past August. I was not only shocked by the online world of dating, texts, IM's and emails, but I was surprised at how visual it had all become. Men are visual and if a woman does not have a good "product", odds of getting a date are...well -pardon the expression- SLIM. So, my motivation is multifold. My motivators are the following: to obtain Physical health, Mental health, Sexual health, and regain Spiritual health. How can I possibly date anyone when these are out of whack. the old cliche is in effect...how can I expect anyone to love me, if I do not love myself.

This year I have to do things differently. Last year i spent time looking at others pictures and comparing myself to them and their progress. I can not do that this year. i can read the blogs and get tips, but I have to focus on me and my progress. I have to remember what body is under this current one. I have seen it before and am going to try and see it again. It might take six months, but it is attainable. Take a deep breath and .... get moving.

“Message” posted by TWarr69 Friday, December 11th, 2009

Jill,
I am so glad that you have decided to start again. If you need tips or have questions just let me know. You can do this and look how fast the 6 months and even a year has gone by.
