I do this totally for me and I am happy with the package that I am taking.   It doesn’t matter if it’s what the judges are looking for as long as I know I gave it all that I have in me to get there and as long as I am enjoying the ride.   Of course would be nice if they liked what they saw     Cross fingers

 So I wanted to say thank you to all that have written to me or posted comments to me.  I know I have been bad about getting back to you all but will try to do so this week.   You kind words and encouragement help more then you know.  When I feel down or tired I read one of those support messages and it keeps me fueled to keep moving. 

 Love you all!

 Let’s face it successful people think differently than unsuccessful people. Positive thoughts instead of negative ones can start you out on a path that will only spiral upward. Is it possible to reach new heights in your training by just changing your mind about the way you look at your workouts? Is it possible to rewire your neurological circuits to attain success where you never succeeded before? 

Here’s just a small bite of food for thought… 

In 1992 two scientists performed a study to demonstrate the power that our mind has over our muscles. The studied consisted of two groups of people. The first group performed a strength training exercise for the pinky finger, five times per week, for four weeks. The second group imagined performing the same exercise for the same frequency and time frame. In essence, the group that imagined the contractions sat quietly and didn\’t move a muscle. And to make sure they didn\’t move a muscle the lab hooked up their pinky muscle to an EMG to make sure no contractions took place. 

At the end of the study, the group that performed the actual strength training improved their strength by 30%. What about the group that simply imagined the strength training exercise? They improved their strength by 22%….WOW! By just thinking about it? 

Can you begin to understand the power of a positive focused mind? Can you see that looking beyond your preconceived notions about your life, your training and eating habits can skyrocket your results? 

In light of these results you can’t just sit on the couch and think about it!  We know in the long run that is a recipe for failure. But look at it this way… 

That weight you are lifting will make your muscles bigger, better and stronger than you now imagine…just think beyond your self limitations! Look at that weight in a new way, think of it as a super duper fat burning tool as well as a muscle growing tool. Then let’s see results that blow out your neuro matter!  

Reshape the brain, reshape your body and reshape your life!

Have a blessed day! Do something today that you can be proud of tomorrow!!!

Getting ready for the Arnold 2008.   It is a appearances only event for me this year as I am not competing in it.  I am saving up for some great competitions in the Summer.    Plus I wanted just ONE yes just ONE year of not being on prep during the holidays.   Not that I eat all the wrong things….but it takes the pressure off and I don’t have to be frantic if I miss my workout.   I am a bit of a freak about missed workouts during prep. 

Love you all and please come see me

 My home was hit by a tornado about 5 weeks ago so we have been cleaning up and repairing from that mess.   

 Currently I am still trying to get that strength but I am preparing to attend the 08 Arnold Classic and we all know you don’t want to go there not looking your best.  So it’s a mission. 

 Spending a lot of time on my new board.  It is now accessible thru my website.  So please come and check it out.  We are small and we are positive and we like it that way.  

I hope you are all doing well, training hard, keeping those chins up and moving foward with your goals.  WHatevef they may be. 

MUAH my friends

 I was to have had some minor surgery two weeks ago that turned into major so I am in the process of healing right now.

I have been busy with my work and just two days ago…my house was hit by "high force winds"  Let’s try Tornado but they won’t say that.    My fireplace is now in the side yard.  So needless to say the last few days have been whirlwind. 

 I have missed you my friends. 

I did start a new board/forum that will be added to my website but for now if anyone would like to check us out it is  katestewart.proboards98.com   It’s very new and the direction we are taking is not yet know.  Both men and women…fitness minded, competitors and well many that feel as I once did that life was kicking them instead of them kicking life.  

I hope you are all doing well and I promise to do a better job of my blog. 

 For now..heal…then train and hit next season around June.
