I am happy as a bunny today....... :)

What an incredible forum we have here......I respect everyone here and your journey....sure, some of us probably journal more then others (I am guilty of this one) and sure some of us self promote more then others (I am also guilty of this at times) but in the end if folks like myself can help someone else or learn from another member then we all win....

With that being said......

drum roll.....self promotion coming in 5,4,3,2,1...

Got up at 5:08 am and did 45 minutes of cardio this morning....
Gonna do my noon time workout of lifting for an hour today (all chest)
then
I have my basketball league tonight at 7:15pm

Gut check Mondays....I love them....

In all seriousness, there will be times that new folks will log on and not understand how tight this max muscle family is and may not understand why we post the things we post.......I guess spend some time around here and you will understand and you will be inspired and in return you will inspire us...

If these (this) newbie spends some time around here they (she) will soon understand the power of "family"....so with that being said, lets give this newbie a second chance and lets embrace them (her) and assume that they (she) was a little taken back at first of how this site works.....and we support our own fight and others here..

The best of luck to my Max Muscle friends this week and to the newbies....

For the record, I remember last year when I was a newbie and I was pretty taken back as well....and I had some of the same thoughts as one of the newbies pointed out earlier today....but....I held my tongue and spent some time here and ended up crushing all my goals because of this forum and because of all the folks that read this journal and support this forum and folks like me :)

  Nice morning today.. well done. I love that we can all express ourselves anyway we want on this forum and not be burned at the cross over it. :) Promote, honor, self loath, be bitter, be a hater, be nice, be positive, be powerful, be moving... we have it all... and I welcome it and encourage it. Have a great day my friend! Keep kicking butt and taking names.

  Troy, self promote & journal a lot? This all comes as news to me!!!!! I can see where someone new could be taken a back at first, but if they just stick around, they will find some awesome, motivating people. And I agree with Jasmine. Last year, we really didn’t have any “veterans” who were with us on a weekly/daily basis. I would have loved to have seen someone who achieved their goals still be human and have daily/weekly struggles and issues even after they reached “perfection” (which we veterans all know doesn’t happen!!).

  thanks bunny, I mean buddy! Last year we really lacked a leader, someone to guide us through the process the struggles or provide the examples of an experienced veteran from the top10 or 20 and I am so proud of you and Eric and ChristinaB. I think you guys are a good example of good things to come for the 2012 competitors. and just because you guys and me included, reached some or all of our goals doesn't mean we stop there! keep on keepin on

  I say self promote all you want, that's pretty much what this site is about, self promoting and supporting each other. Keep it up!
