MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS
If you want something you go AFTER it. You give it EVERYTHING to make it
happen. You strive your utmost to make your dream a REALITY. Risks are
WORTH it because you believe in your heart that what you want has no
greater value than the sacrifices you make to achieve it. Focus NEVER
wavers because seeing your dream manifest before you means more to you
than anything else in this world ever possibly could. Constantly
learning and GROWING and creating yourself, you become what you need to
be to see your dream come to fruition, to see it more than mere ideas
or fantasy, because your life depends on it. It’s NEVER too late to
start living a dream, and it’s never too late to TRY for one, because
withOUT dreams our lives would be empty and meaningless.
Dreams make us HUMAN. They make us BELIEVE. They give us HOPE that
there IS something MORE out there for us. They give us FAITH that we
CAN make anything HAPPEN if our DRIVE is STRONG enough. They allow us
to hold ON to something we should NEVER let go of, the CHILD inside
every one of us that we once were and never stopped being, who looked
at the world with eyes of WONDER, knowing that ANYthing is POSSIBLE and
NOTHING is UNrealistic for those who DREAM, if only they OPENED their
hearts and minds to SEE.
Open your heart to BELIEVE. Let your inner child FREE. Explore the
world with eyes of PERCEPTION and POSSIBILITY. If you want something
with all your soul then never let it go and do all in your power to
make it HAPPEN. Let the people you cannot ever bear to live without know
how much they MEAN. Live the life of your DREAMS.

OTHER NOTES
Sleep: Has been fairly good for the most part - regardless of what time I
go to sleep at night, been consistent in getting up between 0430-0500
Monday through Saturday. Today I didn't get up until just after 1200,
but only because I went to bed ~0330 and allowed my body to "catch up"
on the sleep it has NOT been getting throughout the week.
Mood: Ups and downs this week. At the end of the week crashed hard - a
long time in coming after the last 8-9 months - and now it's just
getting through as I pull myself out of the wreck.
Energy: Was high all week until Friday morning - during training when I
emotionally crashed, my body crashed with it and I just had nothing left
in me.
Concentration: I've tried really hard this week, which has been
frustrating in some areas, seeing nothing for the effort. At the same
time, a lot has been going on and NOT being there has NOT been an
option!
Body Composition: 8.1% bodyfat - lost 0.3% over the last week, simply
from getting back into training (since EVERY day except Wednesday has
been terrible re nutrition), even though I was not even at 75% of
Maintenance training. The definition in my delts and arms has been
coming out more and more as the week progressed (the "bad" eating just
brought them out MORE, even if I felt it "softened" the rest of me for a
bit) - I definitely have the most muscle mass in them both that I have
ever had, which is nice and brings a sense of satisfaction, since I have
worked so hard to "bring them up" and struggled so much with issues re
pain and injury to them.
Quality of Training: Training has been ok. A lot of pain, especially
during my Friday resistance session, in BOTH my delt/biceps' tendons,
and just pushing through it, because physical pain is preferable to
other pain. Have done a little more running as well this week re cardio
(back to HIIT sprinting OUTSIDE), which has made a difference. The
cooler weather has also been much better for me and I can actually
BREATHE when I'm running outside, instead of feeling like I am
suffocating. Back to no less than MAINTENANCE training next week!
Joints: A lot of pain in both my anterior delt/biceps' tendons AND my
wrists. My left wrist has been in more pain than my right, but I am
noticing it is in CONSTANT pain, and even something like DRIVING
aggravates it to the point where I don't want to be doing much of it.
Nutrition: Has been TERRIBLE. Appetite has been much higher than usual
this week - aside from yesterday, when I literally had none and did not
want to eat for most of the day (which indicated something seriously
wrong) - and have NOT followed the 16-hour fast/8-hour feeding window
for any day except Wednesday, more along the lines of a 12-16 hour
feeding window and 8-12 hour fast. Hasn't seemed to affect my progress
too much though, which was a little surprising. I also haven't been
drinking my usual 4.5 litres of water a day either, barely getting in
~3 litres, which has made a small difference in how I feel.
Supplements: Although not a supplement per se, I have been using NO
Infuse several times a day (pre-training, post-post-training shower, and
pre-bed), and I believe that it's the factor having the primary
difference re my delt (and bicep) development, allowing me to work
through the pain and still get results.
Overall Sense of Feeling: A lot of good things have happened this week
amongst the crash, and I am truly grateful for those few special people
in my life who have made all the difference during this time. There are
going to be quite a few changes going on from the start of October -
positive and motivating - and I am looking forward to them. LIFE OPENS
UP WHEN YOU DO IT'S TRUE! IT'S TIME TO REALLY MAKE THINGS HAPPEN! IT'S
TIME TO START LIVING THE LIFE OF MY DREAMS!!!
