payback

For the longest time I suffered terrible knee pain that caused me to over compensate when working legs. I mentioned in a previous entry how slightly bad squatting form exacerbated an already shaky situation.

For the past few months of training, I've been determined to go ass to ground on a squat while keeping all other things in check. And while keeping the mechanics in place properly. I had to observe steady patience while I stripped my bar of all weight - and sometimes stripped myself of even the bar - just for the sake of getting things right.

My patience has been paying off and every session with the barbell on my back feels incredible - and more powerful than the previous. Squatting tonight felt incredible. I'm nearly on the ground and my quads, glutes and hams feel like rocks - my legs get pumped! it's moments like these that remind me of why I work so hard. And moments like these that make me excited about continuing to willfully make healthy nutritional choices every day. Moments like these remind me of why motivation was never an issue for me, the further into my fitness I became.

I'm changing! My work is paying me back!! :)

beauty beyond limits

from my poetry blog... "Beauty Beyond Limits"  a glance above into the trees and the sky on a clear day, the colors bring beauty and bright a dark night with stars glowing peppered throughout  and the corners and caverns of beauty blacked out  a sea swell of thunder and lightning strength sprays bears a beautiful power and calm in the waves  for the very chance one could soak it all in  this beauty abounds and unfolds deep within  reflect on this treasure of beauty and measure  the worth of this world we're blessed to live in

when you know you have passion

I'm feeling intense....fired up.  The harder   and smarter I work the better the quality of results I am seeing and feeling.  I went through some of my transformation features and am still amazed at how applicable my feelings are today. Who knew that IIIII (ME who has a hard time finishing most things I start) would stick with fitness and continue to aim to become the BEST me I can be....before this lifetime goes dark. http://www.muscleandstrength.com/articles/shani-mojica-body-transformation.html

right where you are and always have been and will forever be

this, my darkened path i stroll looking down into the brush, with its edges that feather dust my ankles searching with strain until i flicker a glance at a glimmering edge of the path and know it's really there i cant be concerned with what's ahead it only scares the shit out of me it's like i may negate for myself, a place to step if i dont look down and my feet and soul may fall deep into the river some river i dont know any river a lake an ocean i dont know an abyss or an abysmal fate that will come as quickly as my panic to correct my unfortunate misstep but if i mis-stepped, i'd live with this misstep my sickness and pleas to reverse it would be in vain i'd plunge into something that doesnt smell look taste feel like anything ive ever smelled, seen, tasted and touched before it scares the shit out of me im head rushed into thinking about all the "what-ifs" rising and falling in me, my guts raining like glitter into cob web...
