Weight Gain Goal Reached.
My heart told me to get to 160 though I was fairly content when I reached 156. I wanted to reach the goal and I felt inside it was something to do. It turned out perfectly as during the time period I learned so much more and have developed such a better understanding of myself and what I am here to do. I know better than to doubt or second guess the divine intelligence.
Here is a picture of me now at 160...
I'm learning to simplify and to accept that I am a beginner in many things in life. When you consider yourself an expert your cup is too full to learn better ways of doing something or to see what your heart is trying to teach you. So I am learning to adapt that type of approach to all things.
I'm going to just stay within the 150's with my weight, somewhere between 152 and 158. I'm currently beefier than I'd like to be. My power is greater than I ever had it, my form is solid and I am more flexible than I have been in years. Which isn't all that - I can at bend over and hold onto my toes without bending my knees - which I couldn't do before. That being said, I'm drifting further away from the look. I want to be cut and feel like I'm made out of iron but that isn't the emphasis as it used to be when I would train before. Now I want core strength, I want to be fast, agile, flexible, and have wonderful overall conditioning. Martial arts is really going to help me with that but I am going to start soon. I'm not going to wait for the time I start practicing martial arts.
I know how to bulk up and to lift for strength and power. It's time for me to learn how to get in great overall condition. I know as a result I will be in fantastic physical shape but the emphasis this time is in being a well conditioned athlete. It's like one of the many valuable lessons I've learned. And that is to live on purpose, one day at a time and detach yourself from the outcome. Don't think of how it is going to look to others or when and how you'll get there and don't compare yourself, Just Be and just do. And the universe will handle the details, it's doing that anyway.
God Bless.
