Workout Update
Workouts have been good and steady. I am in the second week of Phase 2 for this round of P90X. Due to some ongoing tenderness from my achillies surgery, I have had to substitute some other activities for my favorite workout, Plyometrics. Tonight it was some good interval training on the Stairmaster. Tomorrow is Back and Biceps, which I'm looking forward to! Nutrition has been 95% clean for all of January! I fully expect to meet my weight loss and body fat % goals for this month, then attack the February goals with a vengeance!!
I hope anybody coming through here or lurking will stop in and say hello, or better yet, join me in living a healthy and fit lifestyle. It is worth the effort, I can promise you that. Let me know how I can help you!
Take care! Jim

Failing Forward
Quote of the Day:
"I Failed Over And Over And Over Again In My Life And That Is Why I Succeed."
Michael Jordan
My friends, it's not about failing, it's about falling down and getting back up again, or, as John Maxwell says, "Failing Forward." I'm again reminded of some words in a favorite Lyle Lovett song: "And remembering the falling down and the laughter of the curse of luck, from all those sons of bit---es who said we'd never get back up..." We humans tend to get way too caught up in the crowd and what other people think. It takes courage to go beyond the mediocrity of the masses and rise up to new levels. That's why I'm so proud and happy to be here, to have found my fitness and health again with P90X, and to now have the opportunity to help others as well! If you're here, and you're working and trying, and you fall down but you get back up, then it's in your DNA to succeed. You just have to Decide and Commit and stay in the game.
Make it so, my wonderful pals!!! Jim

Goals and Human Striving
Quote of the Day:
“A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.”
Denis Waitley
So what are you dreaming about for yourself, my friends? Do you have an end picture of yourselves in mind? It is so important to have goals. Humans are striving beings by nature - other animals don't "strive" - it's not even in their makeup - but it is part of our DNA to move forward, to progress, to achieve. Obviously, contentment and self-acceptance are important too, but we are more alive when we are In The Game of life, moving towards a worthy and worthwhile goal, making ourselves and the world a little better place for our having been here. The reason many of us don't set goals is what Dr. Waitley hints at above - we get caught up in a comfort zone, where we are basically okay with where we are, even though there is a nagging feeling deep down inside that is calling us higher, better, greater. But to move outside of that comfort zone is scary, because it is unknown. The truth is, though, that the only way to break out of the comfort zone is to believe that there is something greater out there, beyond our protective shell, and to step out into the great abyss of the unknown. I encourage you all to set some goals that push you beyond your comfort zone today, and the next day, and the next day. Dare to be more and better, and take that out into the world with you. Because the world desperately needs courageous people who can draw a line in the sand of their lives and say "That's IT!! I am more than I have been showing!"
MAKE IT SO, MY FRIENDS!!!!
