Vital-Statements

[Chillen]

Hope this day is going well for everyone.


This will be my journal. This journals' intent is to serve two purposes:

1. As my personal dieting and training journal

2. A place to attempt to make another member feel better.

A place to post philosophy comments, and feed the mind as we journey toward our personal goals. To give the forum and members posts to motivate the power within. To provide execuses to WIN and not execuses to LOSE.

And, realize there is beauty within their own skin

So they can ROCK adversity on the chin

One truest form of wisdom is learning to "master yourself" within your fitness goals.

We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire; the more we see, the more we are capable of seeing.

The power connection between the mind and biological responses of the body we are trying to change for the better.

LoL, yep I am an old, but tough, bastard.

Every year, I give a gift to my body that is carrying me through this walk of life, and this year I am 50 years old, and will be no different, trust me. I will do it......the body has no choice but to follow my brain, it is the train.

This journey in fitness has tough me many, many things. I have fallen, got up. Repeated this enough times, and learned valueable lessons in the process. I am not out to best anyone else in lifts, weight, or in physique. I am just trying to improve on my own journey and personal best, and make improvements as I make this a life long journey.

My want-o-meter is high. Screw babying myself unecessarily, I am a "want it", and act like it.

Me and the iron "The One" In life, and this is the bottom line:



The One (YOU).

A spirit born of earth and water............

In the instant that you love someone (YOU)

In the second that the internal spirit hits

.....................Reality runs up your spine

And the pieces finally fit...............

And, realize all you ever needed is: The One.


Whenever I feel troubled, I go to my partner who "understands" The One.

It’s the place where I know where to go, place my tears, whipe them, and awake a new me. It whispers to The One.

It reveals to The One what The One is really made of and rekindles the spirit of The One.

It doesn’t allow The One to question it. It doesn’t allow The One to ever doubt it. It reveals the truth to The One. It shines the light on The One.

Then The One shall see Fire flying from the hands..............

It reveals the depth and character of The One and reveals the moral reserves. It reveals the internal contents of The One, and tells The One:

There is no greater freedom, when you see your future in THE ONE.


The Spirit within The One never dies.


The One is: The iron, the diet, and myself.

It ROCKS to be one within your goals.


Vitality!

Hell, yes............We are all "want its!"

Want it:

You are going to have to want it.

Each time a bump in the road appears......

You are going to have to flat want it.....

Each time you don't feel like working out.....

You are going to have to flat want it.......

Each time you want to eat and shouldn't...but do anyway...

You are going to have to flat want it.

If you willpower dies, and you cant find it....

You are going to have to flat want it.....


Who is a WANT IT?


I am in,,,,,,,,,,,,,And this ROCKS THE FUG OUT!

Thank you. I just eat hard food, and never have taken any supplements, other than fish oil. I like hard food, especially when dieting down, and avoid liquids (cause they digest too quickly); therefore, I generally go to the store with combating food cravings in mind, and buy food stuffs for these purposes (maintain a even insulin and avoid insulin spikes, keep belly full of hard digesting stuff--fiber and what not, etc).

When I was a teen, I saw these (the core muscle), and when I got into my 40's, weight gain was becoming a problem, and I embarked on a journey. I was told time after time, to forget seeing them again (and gaining muscle) as I was too old. If I would have listened, I would be in the same boat. My body as responded well for being nearly a half centery old, and fug.......the nay sayers, baby.

ROCK ON!
