One of my main goals for 2011 is to get healthy again.

-to get back to the point where I have the energy to do all the things I love.

-return to a place where I am comfortable in my body and can move freely without restriction.

- have the time to try new things and step outside of my comfort zone.

- spend more time with family and friends.

The first step for me was to get my nutrition on track.  

In order to achieve this I sought out help from Aubrey Thompson.

In order to share with you all that I have learned throughout my process with Aubrey blogging would become my full time gig.  

For now I will share with you an article fellow RKC Andrea U-Shi Chang shared with me which touches upon quite a few of Aubrey's teachings.

Warning---this is a somewhat long article, don't just skim through it!

You never want what is true, you are so entangled in the illusion of the false.

You want what you don't have, and you don't have what you want and so you suffer.

It's so perplexing why not simply reverse it, why not want what you have and not want what you don't have?

It's so simple.

You could be happy.

Freedom is here for the taking.

You want little things when you could have the entire universe, eternity, eternal life...

Take that.

"The Joy of Discovery"

Remember how your new year's resolution included reading more books than you did in 2010?!

Well here is my first MUST read of the year.

The 4-Hour Body

Most of you know Tim Ferris as the best selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek. Apparently he's not stopping with just one.

Tim Ferris and I attended the same RKC certification in California back in 2009, and I was lucky enough to swing next to him in our final test of the weekend :)  You can check us out at :51 in the clip.
He's the guy in yellow and I'm the gal in blue.

I also had the opportunity to sit in on one of his lectures while out in California.  This dude's smart. Like crazy smart. Love him or hate him, you can't deny the fact he is WICKED SMAAHT.

The 4-Hour Body is a must read, pick up a copy and select a few chapters that interest you.
Whether you want to get bigger, faster, stronger, thinner, sleep better, injury proof your body or learn the secret of the 15 minute female orgasm....
this book is for you.

What is to give light, must endure the burning. 


Viktor E. Frankl

Exceedingly Positive

Don't worry about getting it done. Just get it done.

Don't complain about what has gone wrong. Just do whatever is necessary to make it right.

Your time and energy are too precious and too powerful to waste on things that will just bring you down. Instead of bringing yourself down, lift the whole world up.

Decide to live life on your own terms and make those terms exceedingly positive. Choose to spend each priceless moment in the service of your highest values.

Whatever the situation, you get to decide how you will be. So always direct your energy to where it will bring new richness to your world.

Take everything in stride, and respond with your own unique, positive perspective. Live on the highest level you can envision, and cheerfully encourage everyone else to come along.

-- Ralph Marston

Happy 5 year anniversary to someone special who exemplifies this in every way possible

Happy New Year....Resolve to move BETTER in 2011

Taken straight from the MYOFORCE team :)

This weeks blog is not going to be on your typical New Year's Resolution.

AHH sure everyone resolves to eat better and nearly everyone resolves to exercise more in 2011 than they did in 2010.

Oldie but goodie
