NCSF

Reregistered for the NCSF site again today. I am finally feeling confident with the work I needed to do for Curves to be able to study for my CPT again. I really do want to finish this although it has been on hold for over 2 years now. I want this certification and it would help me help the ladies at the club, plus give more credibility to what I do. I am going for it. Now with the additional staff at the club also, I do have a bit more free time so it won't be as hard to find the time.

Heavier and heavier

I love it. Just finished Chalean Extreme Burn phase 1 again and am now lifting 17 pounds for some of the lower body exercises. It is funny how much lighter 10 pounds now feels. I love the fact that I am getting so much stronger. I also love those Bowflex Select tech weights. It is funny how much health and fitness now rule my life after years of smoking, and junk food. I am so glad that my eyes are finally open and now am able to help others become healthy, fit and strong also.

In Memory

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!””Gone where?”Gone from my sight.
That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!” there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: ‘Here she comes!”
And that is dying.
Henry Van Dyke

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will. When the road you're trudging seems all uphill. When funds are low and the debts are high. And you want to smile, but you have to sigh. When care is pressing you down a bit. Rest, if you must, but don't you quit Life is queer with its twists and turns. As everyone of us sometimes learns. And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out: Don't give up though the pace seems slow- you may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you never can tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems so far: So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit- It's when things seem worst that you must not QUIT Author unknown
