“Life is made up of a few moments all strung together like pearls. Each moment is a pearl, and it is up to us to pick the ones with the highest luster.”

Here is my newest tee shirt design. I can’t really call this one a shred ha? I guess it’s considered more of a void if ya think about it. This was a new tee shirt I bought because American Gothic was perfect for the remake. I finished this design a few weeks ago, but I took the selfies today when I got to the gym.
At Vitamin Shoppe, we earn a point for every dollar we spend. We have regularly redeemed the benefits of that with the help of our buds there, while not asking many questions. The shop recently added a new line to the receipt showing a grand total on the points.
I guess I didn’t recall it was a point we earned for every dollar we spend? When our bud pointed out how much we have spent and we were almost to 11gz… “I was like… gheeshush! That’s a small car!”
Well… gunz don’t grow on trees, but they do grow like trees if you water them with protein! I can’t complain (see FLASH Forward- Growth). Ohhh and 11 gz+…yeah… we are more than there now.
This receipt is from the first week in May. On that round, I scored sum Syntha-6, Cold Stone Creamery– Birthday Cake Remix. Yummy new stuff!
☆My new hat… A gift a couple weeks ago from Nick… owner of downtown Santa Fe’s… Evangelo’s Cocktail Lounge. My Greek gym bud tells me…”you’re a machine babe!” Hahahaa… Yassssss! When we took this pic I told him, “wait… now we need one with my real gym face.” He laughed as I took the pic. His daughter Kiki lent me an awesome book too. She strong n sexy.☆
“Bodies have their own light which they consume to live: they burn, they are not lit from the outside.”
“For within your flesh, deep within the center of your being, is the undaunted, waiting, longing, all-knowing… is the ready, able, perfect. Within you… waiting its turn to emerge, piece by piece, with the dawn of every former test of trial and blackness, is the next unfolding, the great unfurling of wings, the reforged backbone of a true Child of Light.”
□• The new cover I made for the iPad. It’s easy to be consumed by nothingness in shallow worlds. The mind becomes that which it consumes. This is one realization which will empower you in the gym more than any workout ever will. True empowerment lies in the gains reformed by the mind. •□
“Bring the mind into sharp focus and make it alert so that it can immediately intuit truth, which is everywhere. The mind must be emancipated from old habits, prejudices, restrictive thought processes and even ordinary thought itself.”
I was so happy when I discovered that the iron bug had bitten my nephew good. He seems to have comitted to going, which is a good start and he can train alongside D. I guess he likes it because he text me at 7 in the morning this last Sunday to ask us to wait for him. He’s been going on Sundays so we can show him how to make gains. I love it! He is ready.
So proud of Susan for killing it and representing for New Mexico women, our capital city, and our home away from home (Mandrill’s Gym). Making history with fleshin’ gunz ablaze… amongst several cool pics and videos she sent me from her recent comp in Cali, I selected four to share. How can I not share pics of her meeting Bradley Martyn and looking mighty shredded?#winsonwins
