Sabrina!! Where have you been young lady?? Don't you know it's voting time and I need your support. Give the Husker lady some love by giving me a High 5 vote. I would love to make that top 25 cutoff and need more votes! I still have 5 weeks to get, as you call it, "Bikini Ready" and I'll take my final pics. Show the love woman! I miss your articles :-(

Hey Girlie - How'd the Maxform Party go?!?

Sabrina, I bought the ThermXX and so far like it. But what is it exactly supposed to do? I have more energy which I really like can I expect to see an accelerated fat loss? (that would be nice).
PFunk - I do have a fear of change. Seems like things start changing for the better then I do the what ifs and completly go back to what I was doing. I am not doing it so much with the weight loss anymore but with other aspects in my life. So thatnk you for posting that!!

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 WORK OUT!
See my new photos!
HOW ARE YOU DOING?

Thank you for the info. I appreciate it. I think I will be adding the ThermX to my stack!! Feeling better today, I know that I can do this on my own it was just nice having a trainer to tell you what to do LOL.Plus I am going to miss him terribly he became like family to me. But it will actually be fun to see what I can do on my own. Not to say that I will not try out other trainers but for now my husband is my lifting partner. Then I am going to start training with a friend for the Muddy Buddy so I am going to be really stepping it up here!

Hey thanks for the add!! I think you and only one other person that I have on my friend list is from Colorado. You obviously work at Max Muscle?? What is the Therm X and what is the Define/Delite? My stack is High 5 (gonna switch I think because of the soy in this one) ARM, Extinguish and FBX. I really like the ARM but feel a bit guilty because I do not feel as sore then feel like hmmm maybe I should push a little harder even tho I know I pushed it to the limit!! This is the first week on the EXT and FBX and I am still trying to figure it out. I can go like hell in my boxing/kickboxing class but about 45 min into it I fall out. So not sure.

“Message” posted by dakelly Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Sooo good to hear from you. Doing great on the ThermX twice a day. Will continue. Don't think I need the Define/Delite as I can save money that way, and not a big fan of the taste of DeLite. Can I say that when I'm the NEXT SPOKESPERSON to follow TONI when I WIN!!!!!!!!!! ?

“Message” posted by mcstrick Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Hi, how are you? I tried DeLite and it was a bit too strong for me. I was using Define but switched to Body Effects. Its not too strong but I would like to try something that is more intense but won't make me feel too 'wired'. Any suggestions?

“Message” posted by dakelly Friday, February 19th, 2010

I'm tapping you for information again. I was using DeLite until I started using the FBX everyday pre-workout. I just finished my Quadra Cuts and want to change things up with ThermX (don't need the XX as I am on thyroid medication). I see posts on here where people are taking it with Define, what is that? And should I be using it? I dropped another percent BF this week!! I can't believe it, well, yes I can!!!!

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

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.

VISUALIZATION OF SUCCESS

January 21, 2010

The Introduction from Wisdom of Wolves
The attitude of the wolf can be summed up simply: it is a constant visualization of success.
The collective wisdom of wolves has been progressively programmed into their genetic makeup throughout the centuries.
Wolves have mastered the technique of focusing their energies toward the activities that will lead to the accomplishment of their goals.
Wolves do not aimlessly run around their intended victims, yipping and yapping. They have a strategic plan and execute it through constant communication. When the moment of truth arrives, each understands his role and understands exactly what the pack expects of him.
The wolf does not depend on luck. The cohesion, teamwork and training of the pack determines whether the pack lives or dies.
There is a silly maxim in some organizations that everyone, to be a valuable member, must aspire to be the leader.
This is personified by the misguided CEO who says he only hires people who say they want to take his job. Evidently, this is supposed to ensure that the person has ambition, courage, spunk, honesty, drive - whatever. In reality, it is simply a contrived situation, with the interviewee jumping through the boss's hoops.
It sends warnings of competition and one-up-manship throughout the organization rather than signals of cooperation, teamwork and loyalty.
Everyone does not strive to be the leader in the wolf pack. Some are consummate hunters or caregivers or jokesters, but each seems to gravitate to the role he does best. This is not to say there are not challenges to authority, position and status - there are.
But each wolf's role begins emerging from playtime as a pup and refines itself through the rest of its years. The wolf's attitude is always based upon the question, "What is best for the pack?" This is in marked contrast to us humans, who will often sabotage our organizations, families or businesses, if we do not get what we want.
Wolves are seldom truly threatened by other animals.
By constantly engaging their senses and skills, they are practically unassailable. They are masters of planning for the moment of opportunity to present itself, and when it does, they are ready to act.
Because of training, preparation, planning, communication and a preference for action, the wolf's expectation is always to be victorious.
While in actuality this is true only 10 percent of the time or less, the wolf's attitude is always that success will come-and it does.

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
