Favorite Quotes By Bruce Lee

Remember, success is a journey, not a destination. Have faith in your ability. You will do just fine. ~ Bruce Lee

Research you own experience; absorb what is useful, reject what is useless and add what is essentially your own. ~ Bruce Lee

Whenever I look around, I always learn one thing and that is: always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself. ~ Bruce Lee

The greatest mistake is to anticipate the outcome of engagement; you ought not to be thinking of whether it ends in victory of in defeat. Let nature takes its course and your tools will strike at the right moment. ~ Bruce Lee

You have to create your own luck. You have to be aware of opportunities around you and take advantage of them. ~ Bruce Lee

Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality. To me, defeat in anything is merely temporary, and its punishment is but an urge for me to exert greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing, it is a path leading to success and truth. ~ Bruce Lee

Refocusing and Getting Back on Track

So it has been a while since I posted on my blog.  Lots of things have happened including the holidays.   It has been a struggle so far in 2012 to recover from everything that happened during the holidays (friends staying with us unexpectedly, I got sick, Kirk switched his job which means no more getting up early to get him off to work).  With all these things happening I lost focus of my goal, however now  I am refocusing on it.

Part of my struggle has been trying to figure out if I really want to compete in the figure competition.  I have 88 days left and I feel like I have gotten no where from where I started.  I know I tend to be my own worst critic and many times are very hard on myself, so I am trying to acknowledge all the positive things that I am doing to reach my goals, because if I lose that of that, I am likely not going to reach my goal.

Here is what I have done so far:

1) I started yoga over the holidays which has been a great thing and I like it a lot, it seems to help calm me and adds a relaxation element to my high intensity work outs.
2) I also applied to be part of a Coaching Program with Jill Coleman and got accepted, so I am excited work with her over the next year to reach my goals.
3)  I stopped drinking alcohol.  In fact, this past weekend I did not have even on drink when we were out and I felt great.  It was the first weekend in a long time that I lost weight instead of gained.
4) I started reading The Metabolic Effect Diet and it is a great book.  With this book, I am starting to re-exam my workouts and tightening up my diet by looking at how I eat differently.
5) I started adding sprints into my cardio workout to help increase my lean muscle mass and improve my "fat-burning" potential.
6) I started writing my blog again.
7) I prepared my food for the next day in advance.
8) I am on track to be in bed by 10:30 which will be great, so I can wake up and work out.

These things are something I celebrate and I am excited to be back on track.  I have to remember that this is my journey and there will be obstacles in my which will sometimes lead me astray and it is part of my journey to learn how to identify distractions in order to save time.  April and the figure competition is only part of my journey.
