I'll have to get that book and give it a go, been hearing a lot about it lately sounds interesting> off to Amazon...
It's a great book, Ryan - as I said, one of my top three and one I have read over and over. I will admit that it's not for everyone, even though I believe that everyone should read it. Let me know how you find it - could make for some interesting discussion.I'll have to get that book and give it a go, been hearing a lot about it lately sounds interesting> off to Amazon...
It sure is! It's like every time I read it my eyes are opened a little more.Good book Rosie. Sounds like you're feeling awesome right now. That's great! Keep it up!
Thanks! I've found that my overall well being is most easily effected by my mental and spiritual condition. Make so much difference in my training!It sure is! It's like every time I read it my eyes are opened a little more.
Yes, I am - this week has been a HUGE turning point for me! My head is in a great place. I spent so much time taking care of everything else but my spirit that it got dusty and too downtrodden. Makes a difference refreshing and feeding it.
Hope all is well in your world as well, bud
It's never made much of a difference to my training, but I am just now realizing that it does make a difference on my mind and how well I deal with stress.Thanks! I've found that my overall well being is most easily effected by my mental and spiritual condition. Make so much difference in my training!
What are your other 2 top books?It's a great book, Ryan - as I said, one of my top three and one I have read over and over. I will admit that it's not for everyone, even though I believe that everyone should read it. Let me know how you find it - could make for some interesting discussion.
The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett and The Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop. My top three books couldn't be any more differentWhat are your other 2 top books?
Added to Amazon wishlist, thanksThe Last Continent by Terry Pratchett and The Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop. My top three books couldn't be any more different
I enjoy reading in general, though and devour books the way I consume food when I DO read. Going through textbooks than anything else right now. I need to start reading more again (as a kid, if I wasn't training or writing, you couldn't pry me away from my books), use it to "relax".
I see - it's not for everyone. I LOVE reading - my Mum taught me how to read (and write) well before I went to school and I grew up reading and loving literature. It's an escape world for me.Added to Amazon wishlist, thanks
I HATE reading in general but I am trying to pick up the habit. My problem is I associate reading too much with school but when I find an enjoyable book it is less like work and more fun. I still wouldn't say I LOVE to read but its growing on me slowly
Couldn't agree more, exactly how I feel. It's all about imagination for me, can make it the way I see it, better than TV or a movie any day!I see - it's not for everyone. I LOVE reading - my Mum taught me how to read (and write) well before I went to school and I grew up reading and loving literature. It's an escape world for me.
When I was studying the focus moved though, and reading for relaxation was not really relaxing, since I was always reading textbooks, but it came back.
You know when you have something you enjoy - you don't want to put it down until the very end. I miss all my books - I brought (or had them shipped to me) only the essential textbooks and those three top books with me when I relocated to the US.
Awesome! Looks like everything is coming together for you Rosie!Body Composition and Look: 117 pounds at 10.6% bodyfat. A 1% bodyfat loss this week - AND that's with only single daily training sessions and every other day at HIGHER than Maintenance calories! The change is definitely noticeable. I am making some progress in getting my lower body mass down (YES - airpunch!) - with a 2-cm girth loss in both my glutes and thighs (also in my waist). Deltoids and arms are looking the best ever. I am excited to see this progress and look forward to the next few weeks!
Other Notes: This week has been a TURNING POINT for me - not just with progress, but with my MIND. I have found what I have been missing. I have renewed the fire that I used to have. I have clarity. I have passion. I have focus. I am READY!

It is I think the easier training week did it - my body has been shattered after the 2-a-day resistance sessions, even if they've only been 2-3 of them a week for a couple of weeks.Awesome! Looks like everything is coming together for you Rosie!

I enjoy reading very much mostly for entertainment I've stopped reading lately because I get so caught up it takes time from other things.
I've never read The Purpose Driven Life but it sounds like something I might need to pick up right now.
Keep at it Rosie!
Cheers, lady - glad I can inspire youCongrats Rosie on your progress!! this post really got me!! always inspiring.
I enjoy reading very much but have had to drop it because I get so caught up I lose time for other things,
The Purpose Driven Life looks like somthing I really need to pic up right now, seems it will do me good

That's the key right there for me. When I get too busy and spend too much time reading textbooks and working I forget how relaxing reading for PLEASURE can actually be. Sure it takes even more time but it's worth it in my overall mental state. I tend to alternate between fiction and nonfiction books for this reason.I see - it's not for everyone. I LOVE reading - my Mum taught me how to read (and write) well before I went to school and I grew up reading and loving literature. It's an escape world for me.

When I was younger I used to read primarily fiction - which is maybe why I love writing it and it's an escape for me. Anything non-fiction is generally NOT relaxing for me, even if I am reading it - if I am reading it, there is a reason for it and it's not for "pleasure" and down-time.That's the key right there for me.

I haven't read any Terry Pratchett in a long time. Good stuff though! My current favorite George R.R. Martin.
Is this an excerpt from one of your eBooks? I want MORE!!!!Other Notes: The time you decide what you are going to be determines the pah you will take. "Of all the things one can become in life, I can think of nothing better to be than to be a Champion. A Champion is a WARRIOR. A Champion NEVER settles; never gives up; they strive through the blood, sweat and tears to overcome ALL obstacles placed before them. A Champion IGNORES the pain; they are the first to rise and the last to fall; they will keep on going until they collapse. Champion NEVER accepts defeat; 'failure' is not defeat, but a lesson on how to do better, how not to make the same mistakes. A Champion may fall, but they ALWAYS rise again, fighting back harder than ever. A Champion does NOT make excuses for their shortcomings, but pushes forward, turning their weaknesses into strengths. A Champion burns with the fire of determination and passion; they dare to dream, dreaming of the stars and REFUSE to accept anything less than such heights as they have set their eyes upon. A Champion NEVER backs down or strays from their path; they have a purpose and they will do WHATEVER it takes to achieve it. A Champion has a PURPOSE, forging forward, open to possibilities, forever testing themselves, challenging the 'impossible'. A Champion gives EVERYTHING they have to their cause, holding nothing back, persistently pursuing their goals, dreams and desires with a vengeance to be the absolute BEST that they can be." - Rosie Chee Scott, My Definition of a Champion Life Philosophy

:bigok:I'm here!
Yeah, and I haven't even had a nap yet! It's ok though - I've done it before - when I get to almost a week without having sleep or as little as that most days (if that), then I'll be concerned, but I have a feeling I'm going to be doing something similar again tonight . . .I had the same sleep last night! Ugh! Way to push through Rosie.
Nope - cycling rollers, LOL.Question Rosie, when you mention rollers are you referring to the foam rollers?
Oh and I've visited your website, but need to read your material haven't had a chance yet, but definitely on my "to do list"
I have no idea what that is/means:blink:Nope - cycling rollers, LOL.
Rollers are these:I have no idea what that is/means:blink:
No worries Let me just say that if you spin at 70 km/hr on the rollers (yes, I have done it - exhilarating!) you had better make sure you are outside or have a door open, LOLAh, ok I have seen the A-frame...thanks Rosie
LOL.No worries Let me just say that if you spin at 70 km/hr on the rollers (yes, I have done it - exhilarating!) you had better make sure you are outside or have a door open, LOL
Since I only run for fitness, I'll probably just keep it ~3 miles most days. On Saturday, if I do a run and not HIT, I may go further, taking it out to no further than ~10km, depending on my mood (I don't like to run much more than ~40 minutes tops in a single session).Glad to hear endurance and speed are better :thumbsup: Are you going to push a little further every time or just once in a while?
//CC
Will do, Josh - I expect to see you doing the SAME!Logs lookin good Rosie, keep kickin ass n takin names!
Hey there, budRosie
This is an awesome log! Keep up the great work and wish you all the best. On a side note I would love to see some video footage of your HIIT sessions in those high heels you were wearing on page one.:toofunny:

Got that right, Josh :yup: There's no room for excuses. If you're going to make them, do them somewhere else!Noone trains to make excuses right? :saevilw:
Make it happenOther Notes: Not every opportunity we want we are going to be given in life, and sometimes if we want something, we have to create that opportunity ourselves! Those who know what they want take the risk and go after it, making it happen! Nothing happens by sitting still and hoping that it happens to you; you've got to MAKE it happen! If you don't take the risk, you'll never know what could have been. I've stepped out and created one of my opportunities, hoping, but having faith that if I am supposed to be there, I will be given the chance.
Yes. We can't wait for life to happen to us - we have to happen to it! I am praying like mad that something is born out of this! A fresh start is definitely needed and this would be the perfect opportunity for it to happen!Make it happen
Great Post, very uplifting.
