I’ll admit, my focus isn’t as sharp as it should be…don’t get me wrong, I am hitting the gym and pushing the weights to where I need a nap afterwards:) But my goal focus was all over the place. I see these guys and think, ‘wow, i want to be big and carved up like that!" And then there’s Amanda Harris, and I think," wow, I want to be able to lift pound for pound like her"…and then it goes on and on, do I want to stay 150 and get stronger fro my size, or eat and lift 50 more lbs on me to look more impressive…Do I really want to take tons of products to acheive a certain look, is 200 lbs on my frame even healthy?? What should be fun is turning into stress!:(

But, just now I got a comment from Amysuds, and she suggested what I know in my heart to be true…when i am honest with myself I actually want focus on the powerlifting, because that is where my heart is at:)  Don’t be mad at me anyone, but I am not that into the idea of competing in bodybuilding…nothing wrong with it, but i should listen to my heart.

  The problem with bodyspace is that I get so fired up by what you guys are doing with your training, and the progress you make with lifts and physique…and since I am not up here so much, I get even more inspired by y’all! Both the men and women, wow…you guys are so amazing, truly!

So, I want to be able to do 100+ GOOD pushups, 30+ pullups, I want to squat and deadlift over 450lbs and bench 300+ at the size I am now, also to run a 5 minute mile….have a pro worthy carved steel physique and generally be great at everything fitness, it seems like a challenge truly worth the time and effort. But it is so hard to tailor a program to hit all those goals and maintain them. Any suggestions,lol?

Seriously, I know this will take YEARS to do…but I will give it my best, just like you guys are doing:)

 Do you need healing? Do you have MS, Cerebal Palsy? Do you have cancer, sciatica, or arthritis? Do you need your mind to be healed?  From traumatic memories, addictions, or from guilt about the past? What about your heart, is there pain, aching or loneliness? We ALL need healing at some point, and we all have a common disease; we are all born with sin and it is 100% terminal! Even if nothing physical or mental is wrong, and maybe we try to live right; that cancer of sin is STILL there; a ticking time bomb on our souls. But God can heal the MS. God can treat cancer, sciatica, arthritis, ect…He created the body and with a word can make it whole. God created the mind, and with a touch can take a dungeon of dark thoughts and fill that head with radiant positivity! And ONLY God, the Lord Jesus Chist, can remove the deadly cancer of sin. Only His blood can wash it away and save us from Hell…

Whatever healing you need, know that God is able; and He is waiting for you to call Him. Today is the day!
