MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Open your eyes!! Open your ears!! Open your mind!! Try new things. Push your envelope. Get some courage in your life!!! Step outside of your comfort zone. The worst that will happen when you do is….you’ll be smarter and more successful." - Dominique Vien

Tuesday was my photoshoot with Walt Ostarly - believe me, that in itself leaves me sorer the next day than ANY training session!
The rest of the week is time off from resistance training, and I will likely just do a couple of HIIT Runs, so ensure that I am still being active (and because my body really canNOT afford time off ALL training!)
After that, it's back to the grind, because it's my TRAINING that determines my physical conditioning and leanness, but more importantly, my ability to function "normally" physiologically!

OTHER NOTES
Had my photoshoot with Walt Ostarly yesterday! Can I just say WOW! AWESOME! So worth the wait and anticipation leading up to it! I had the most incredible time - see for yourself from the teaser images posted by Walt on Facebook.
In the BEST aesthetic condition of my life at 7.8% bodyfat and only 103 pounds. I know - I have only ever been this light ONCE before in my life, back at the start of November 2004! But, the difference now is that, whilst my girths are close to being the smallest they have also ever been (where I want them small), I also have the most muscle mass I have ever had where it matters (delts and arms). So very stoked that I managed to achieve my goal, especially given that I only did TWO days of "dieting" before it (and even then, still eating chocolate, so it can't really be called "dieting", LOL). So, just to provide a real, living, breathing example to you all, to prove that, no matter what you THINK is possible, you most definitely CAN and WILL accomplish your goals and dreams if you do it right for YOUR body (today's quote re "Open your mind!!...Push the envelope!!!" is so very fitting for this)!
Walt and Gina are incredible inspirations, and if anything, my motivation and determination have been RENEWED. I started on this journey with a clear vision of where I wanted to be and what I wanted to be doing, and I will KEEP on going, seeing where it will take me, working on taking it up a notch, getting better and better, aiming higher and higher, pushing through obstacles and creating opportunities by stepping out in faith and going after what I want with a purpose! I want to be as much of an inspiration to others as this awesome couple is to me!
Hope everyone else's week started off as incredibly as mine, and only continues to create smiles and memories to be treasured!
