"Wanting More..."

[Dlady27]

I am just curious to see how many of us here feel that when they set a goal for themselves, and a few months down the road you see your self reaching this goal and all of a sudden begin to critique your body all over again, you arent liking it so much still. You begin to make even harder goals for yourself to reach,,,, it becomes TRUELY an ongoing thing in your head.... as soon as you see your body going to where you once wanted it to be you set a harder goal to reach with out even really knowing it.
How many of us truely feel this way about ourselves?

I ask this because over a year ago I came here wanting to lose weight and gain muscle. It keep being a Yo -Yo for me cause my heart wasnt in it until January of this year. I started out at 140lbs, and my body fat was at 26%. A little over a month ago I had it all donw again my weight at 128lbs and my bf% is down to 16%. I thought that once I got down to 17%bf that I was going to be happy with my look, (this is what I had said a year ago) But I keep seeing myself now setting new and harder goals almost once a month, with lifting more weight and lowering my body weight even more.
Everyone aways told me that once I had this in my heart that I would be dedicated to this life.... I see now that I am! It has been over 6months and everyday i am at the gym by 6AM, and I have only taken Sundays off.

Thank you .... BMom, WarLobo, IG, Cappy, FC, Wodin, Havoc, TD, and Slickass... for giving me the info I need everyday to make these goals happen and for putting up wioth all of my Bullshit in the past!

Way to go! You can take all the supplements in the world, but you will never achieve your goals without dedication!

Congrats to Dlady on reaching your goals and continuing to set new ones.

You're so correct Dlady! I started back in October 2000 but I finally got serious and wrote down my goals in April. It makes such a big difference to have it down on paper. Whenever I get down or think it's not worth the work I read what I set out to do and I such a charge because I KNOW there is no way in hell I won't achieve these goals.

By the end of this month I have to come up with my next set and I can't wait to set up my new goals.

Great Job and Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!

 

[Dlady27]

Great! So how many more of you are there that feel this way????


I think Wodin put it best.....

i'm constantly torn between bulking and cutting. i can't make up my mind as to what i want all the time.

when i start to bulk, i get sick of myself pretty quick -- no abs, water retention and acne? gross. but when i cut up, i always start to feel small and want to put on some mass.

Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how I look at it..... I am a perfectionist so I am never satisfied. Now that is a great thing for lifting and working out but not to great in friendships, love, kids, coaching, etc...

Complacency SUX!!!!!!!!!

Every 6 weeks or so I get so I just can't stand the sight of another chicken breast, so I splurge on some swordfish or something. Every 6 months or so I get so I just don't feel like going to the gym. So let myself get some extra sleep or go out and get wild and then get back in the gym. Bottom line is remembering how good it feels when everything is "on" - tight ass, strong lifting, energy up the yingyang, and a great outlook on life! Dlady - its good to be reminded of that...!

Sometimes we end up taking a few side streets on the journey to "The Ultimate Place" (how ever you define it), but that just means you have to pull out your map and spend a little time mapping out how to get back to the main road. And also to remember that sometimes you end up backtracking a little, but as long as you're heading in the right direction, you will get there.

And what a ride it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to you DLady27

Im with you DLady27...........its a never ending journey towards perfection, that doesnt even exists......but its certainly fascinating to see your body transform before your eyes........I will never be perfect but at least I will try my best.

In the beginning you work to get that foundation of muscle. After that, it takes the rest of your life to refine it.
