Wonder why its so hard to compliment people ??

Well its been my observation that countless women on this website have complained about receiving the wrong kind of words.. Well I thought it would be nice to set the record straight what is a compliment and what Is a sleazy pickup line.

Compliments
First of all I would personally define compliments as something that encourages others without looking out for your own self. You know its just a little something that acknowledges the hard work and effort you have put in. Its definitely NOT a pickup line.

A compliment just acknowledges or encourages you to do bigger and better things. Compliments aren’t always about how you look. I know people on here (bb.com) I totally admire cause of there character, when the chips are down they are still flying and flying high. Amazing people, people you want in your corner.

So keep it simple compliments are just that compliments.

The Guys
This isn’t a dating website, seriously it isn’t.
Go buy your blonde Russian mail order bride from another website.

I will give you a little hint, if a women has work extremely hard to tone her body “Hey sexy”, “Your hot” isn’t the best of lines to communicate to her.
Maybe the ladies name would be a nice starter..(just a thought)????

The Girls
OK I admit there are people on here who have the wrong motives and fire away with some very inappropriate comments. Lines that would have them in a jail cell or a fight If they where in a pub. Sick and wrong

To all the ladies I seriously admire some of the stories of transformation and I am personally inspired by the shear will power to change. I find this kind of transformation amazing truly its not every day you see people loosing half of there weight or transform every thing in there life, body, mind and lifestyle.

I hope people are big enough to see through compliments and cheap pickup lines.

It was freezing cold in my gym this morning..BBrrrrrr
For all you early morning cardio lovers of Melbourne on the 30th April 2009 it was officially freezing. like 1C at 6:30am

Well my day started off like this,
6:00 am alarm goes off
6:05 am I get out of bed
6:06 am to about 7:00am it cardio time…

Well I finally made it out of bed, I got changed in to my workout clobber, gym pants and a t shirt. Sometimes I wear a beanie if it’s a little cold.

Im dressed and im ready.
Walking past the kitchen and I have one foot out the back door and all can see is frost. Frost on my concrete, ice on car, frost on top of the garbage bins its cold..Brrrrr.

Winter has arrived.

this morning workout (cardio) was a little slower than usual
I didnt push as hard as i normally do due to the extreme cold in the garage.
But after 20 minutes of working out i was actually warm and i did get through some of my plan, the key point is worked out and got my heart moving along..

After my workout I have my shower, get dressed and shovel in some extremely oatmeal and I listen to the news. In my area it was 1 degree celcius yea that right peoples 1C…(thats 33 F for your fairenheight lovers) at 6:30 in the morning….

I dont like cold.. period
When you loose a little fat its murder on your hands, feet and all your joints
as there no blubber covering it all up.

Well it was a mild break through.
Hope that encourages people from Melb, NZ and Tassy.

Cheers

PS I love sunshine and happiness.

you really cant go forwards to well until youve look back and see what you have achieved and failed at. My bodybuilding experience has been great I feel better, look better and possibly smell a wee bit better.

Last week I had a week off I was feeling really tired and overrun.
I just needed a little time off from the gym and allow my body to go back to normal. In my time away I was able to look backwards as to where I have come from. Also I spent a little time on the go forwards plan.

Looking backwards
On the plus side what I have noticed in the last 6 months is the following

1. I have shrunk in pants size (s) plural people plural…Golf clap
2. I Officially have no man boobs and no love handles..yah!!
I repeat no man boobs and no love handles. Ok my stomach is sitting out but im betting that bugga into shape
3. Every pair of pants I own I need a belt.
4. I have filled in my t-shirts from the top down (I have arms/shoulders not boobs peoples). If you have caught on I don’t like man boobs
5. Doing 15 crunches doesn’t give a huge pain in the belly like it used.
6. im enjoying things a lot more.

Looking forwards
I haven’t really lost much weight im floating around the 90kg mark, my bodyfat is slowly dropping (it could do better). But im lifting a little more and im just stretching myself to do bigger things.

Im back in the gym with a new body and new desire to become better.
Im looking forwards to May with a new plan to go forwards.

Most people know my lovely grey elliptical trainer is called ‘Heather’.
Why on earth would you name your gym gear heather??

Well heather was a real person back at my high school and I had a serious crush on this woman. Well I saw woman but I was 15 year old pimple ridden ganagly boy and she was a 16 year old woman, cute red head, nice green eyes a smile that would stop a Mac truck. She was amazing, nice feminie sounding voice. Aaaahhhhh (im so there).

Well you can see even 20+ years on I still rabbit on about her. I really liked this girl and she actually liked me (yippe) But I was the shy type and I would struggle to ask her on a date..(Sad but true)..When our group of friends would go to the movies i would make my ‘moves’ but being the tragically smooth operator that I am it usually turned to custard really quickly. All i can remember was alot of giggling at me and blushing alot..

Somethings just never change

Well I took me a while to pluck up some courage to ask her on a date. Well I did it i finally asked her out on a date, BUT she couldn’t go on the date as she was packing. What she didnt want to go out with me cause she was packing, Packing for what I thought to myself.

Well heather left my high school at the end of year nine I was 15 years of age and I thought my life was over. The woman of my dreams is leaving me. She was going to move somewhere and I couldn’t contact her. Her dad never liked me… Cue the sad music.. She was Going, Gone, Gone Gone Gone…

(Can someone hand me a tissue)

Bugga, I was really ticked off with myself
1. I was annoyed she was leaving
2. She is leaving
3. She is gone..
4. All i have is memories of her

I named my trainer heather cause I don’t want to miss out out the best things in my life. Even if I have ‘crush’ on having big guns and a nice six pack I don’t wont to miss out on being fit n healthy. I don’t want to see a picture of a ripped person I want to be the ripped person.

Well my story ends up nicely, Im happy to say Heather and I have our little cardio session most days.
Well, Heather she loves me and i love her.

PS. Heather (the real one) if you’re here on bb.com drop me a email.

365 chances to change your body

2009 is just 365 chances to change your body…

Hi Everyone, loads of people have commented on my quote, Where did it come from where did it start ?

Well for me it started when I was reading an article in a magazine (I think) I was no holidays and I just wanting to relax and unwind from a long a hard year. As I read this article I was struck buy how is ‘Usually’ tackle thing in life.

I am a fairly creative type of person so I am easily distracted by simple things change of wind direction, bright shiny object sudden movents you name it. Yes the attention span of a goldfish.

The bad side to who I am is I kinda spiral downwards (and upwards I found recently). I have always been a big fan of continual change not a sudden change…Ala Extreme Maker.

Focusing on continual change, not a sudden change In weightlifting means that if I don’t get my 8 reps I don’t take 3 minutes of huffing and puffing till my mind can lift that weight. No more freaking out if I didn’t get that magical 8 reps. 365 Days of change not 1 rep of change.

To me it means taking failure and making it a milestone rather than a tombstone. Just looking back in my life I have changed because of failure (relationships, speed signs add you one in here………). When I changed I changed not for good reason I change because I reacted instead of thinking the thing through and coming out with a much more positive decision. If I figured out I had 365 opportunities I would change the way I approach things.

My dad always said “Stuart. Don’t be backwards about going forwards’
Put your shoes on
Pack your water bottle
Now is your time to change one of your days for the better…

Take every negative thing, like early morning cardio should be changed from ….Ahhhhhhh not that early in the morning
To
Today Is my day to re - engineer my body (Man alive it early)
Hey be real, don’t be a yoyo. You will go much further.

Trust me the mind a place you need to change as well.
This year I haven’t watched much TV (just News, Motorbike and Simpsons)
I don’t fret when I go to exercise, it an attraction (Bright shiny objects)
I get all moody if I don’t exercise ( I haven’t figure this one out yet)
I have caught my self doing bicep curls at work, with pencils…

Ah well I will come off my soapbox and go back to the gym and reshape my B sized shaped man boobs and get that funk outta my trunk.

Hope I have inspired you.

Cheers
Stuie
