So I recently hurt my back and my foot.... I had a pinched nerve in my back and it was making my hip out of line, one leg shorter than the other....  then I was running to work last week and caught a stress fracture in my foot. Needless to say this put my plans back a bit.   I had to stop working out completely the Chiropractor told me.  But I used this time to rewind and get more understanding of my plight...  I have some bone strengthening to do as well as muscle strength development.  I have some bone building to do.   My bones are not as strong as they should be... considering the diet I had as a kid growing up during the formulative years of ones life ( age 0 - 10 )  I was not eating healthy , I had your typical american diet.  Full of starches, no nutrion , empty calories, full of sugar foods.  So now as my back is finally getting straight.  and as my stomach and core is getter stronger and making my posture better, I am having to address my bone weaknesses.  I need to really up the intake of Vitamin D rich foods and give my bones more of what they need for nutrition.  Not to mention Vitamin D is also great for my lungs.  I am thinking maybe this is also the reason why I have been able to crack my knucles all these years.  My bones are weak and lacking the nutrients they need.  I remember my knuckles starting cracking back when I was 14 around the same time that I started having all of my knee problems.  Well , I am on my path with this now.... I am going to up my Vitamin D intake naturally and see how this helps my knuckles and my knee problems  as I continue on in my goals with body builiding.   The doc said I can start to ease my way back into working out now this week.  So let us begin....  I will keep you posted on my progress.  

Peace

Now that I have been working out consistently for the past year now I see everyday during my workout how I am changing my mindstate.... how true it is that you are what you think.  As I learn to talk to myself better, tell myself to do what I set out to do, tell myself to keep going when my body wants to stop because the workout is hard,  I tell myself what I want it to do.... I can hear TONY saying, " Lets see if I can get my body to do what my mind says "  ...   I see now so clearly how this is what STAYING POWER comes from.... the Language and conversation you have with yourself.  Only YOU can change YOU when your ready to make that change , any change in your life... You must tell yourself what to do and then DO IT !  

I have learned so far in my transformation process that being fit and healthy is about a way of life more than anything else. I have often heard this, but how these words really make sense to me now more than ever before... because as I develop into a healthy person I am learning that I must be a Healthy person!  I am healthy as soon as I make the decision to be a Healthy person, because I have to commit to myself first and then follow thru with my plans every day.  Plans for working out and plans for eating right and my intent to handle stress with positivity and the way I think period totally effects how I live and ultimately look too.  ALL of my decisions are based on how I think and thus who I really am inside.  I choose to eat right or wrong based on what I value in my life, I choose to work out based on what I value in my life and I have to make these choices everyday , all day to be successful in my transformation process.  You are what you Think.

I have reached my goal wieght and now I am working toward my 8 pack stomach to show.... I learned that CONSISTENCY is the Key to success with my goals.  As in everything else in life I endeavor to accomplish.  Remaining consistent with my workout is the key to making my dreams come true.  So I am doing much much better with getting it in every day as scheduled.  I am also doing better with my eating as well tho still I struggle a bit with the food.  Living in a home where I am the only one totally committed to being fit is very hard to eat right every day.  I have struggled with this part of the program more than anything else.  I am about to make a new change in my environment by cooking for myself to last for a few days at a time so that with my busy schedule I wont have to cook every day and since I eat alot, like ever 2.5 hours I need to keep the right food on deck and ready for me to grab and eat as I move thru each day and all my activities.  I find if I eat the right stuff and keep myself from going too long without food, I wont be so tempted to eat the bad stuff everyone else is eating around me during the day.   So I will keep you posted on my progress with this.

Getting it in, Get it done. This is a will power I am delveloping as we speak. I force myself each day to do my workout. Somedays are better than others. I find I have to talk myself into it most often. I do it though, I get it in. Even if its half of my P90x video. I get it in. I make sure to do something each day toward my fitness goal. What I found is usually, once I start my workout, then I dont want to stop. I just had to motivate myself, to start.
This is developing everything, from my language with myself to my physical appearance. It is strengthening everything about me, not just my body. I have to talk to myself and motivate myself for change. No one else can do this but me. I either talk myself into it or out of it. My choice. My body, My life. So I am learning that the reason most of my endeavors in life have not been as successful as I wanted them to turn out , is due to my language and conversation with myself. I am now learning how to speak to myself , encourage myself and Get it in ! Get the job done. Getting it in , is a skill that will continue to Bless my life, for the rest of my life.
Get it in, Get it done. Stick to my script. Do me. all of these sayings… I hear them in my language now, even though , there is still that voice that says , do it tomorrow or not now, do your workout a little later today. I have to decide each day to Bring my best.
and make sure I workout before the stroke of 12. I have to do it. I can do this. I will do this. Do it now. This is the language , I replace that voice with now.
and I get it in and go hard when I do.
