Bill Phillip's | Transformation

Hello, my friend! I just wanted to stop by and see how you're doing. Hope you're having a great day!

Hi Ellen.. so nice to see you and I've missed you! Enjoy your weekend! Love and Hugs for you :)

Hi Ellen, Thanks for dropping by again. You were asking how my path was going.. Well, actually i have been threw some stressfull times...for a few months. One thing i did was go back and reread BFL, EFL..started i think my 26 Sucess Journal...My workouts have been going really well...and i have set some new personal records in ocean swimming and now train at 3 gyms...Golds gym closed here which was front page news and i simply love the Powerhouse Gym which has brand new 2008 equipment...and a lot of dedicated folks. Happens to be some of them i know from back in the 80's when i was in the gym biz. One thing about me is that i am a follower...after paying some dues i have gone back to some favorite routines out of Arnold's "Education of a Body Builder and his and Gold's Enclopedias. One thing that wonderful tonight was that i did one of Arnold's pre-contest routines...his version of supersetting and it felt really great with endorphins popping, adrenaline and good pumps. Well regarding a path...real quick...i lost 35 lbs in the round before this one with some good backing from BFL buddies...and am at 220...and planned to go down to 195. Well i love to train and do 2 a days and do some 3 a day training. Actually what amazes me is what our bodies can do...especially as Bill says when we program our "frontal cortex"... Jeez tonight i had a good chat with a guy who was leg pressing 1300 lbs.. The thing is..i am a real lightwieght compared to the hardcore guys but i can superset or train without rest for an hour and 20 mins or so.. on a third workout after for example a walk and swim earlier in the day.. It's around midnight here and i feel really good...with a very elevated mood. Well, what is so cool is that at 53 i can feel kinda like how i did in college but the recovery from workouts isn't as good.. Actually jeez a relationship sure went haywire and i let a lot slide... Turns out workouts and music help a lot with balance. Well again re: my path...i feel kinda lost on the spirtitual side.. and i hope to work on it this round.. Earlier i was reaching out a lot and it has been great to work with Tim of Idaho as a workout buddy. One thing i have studied a lot over 39 years of training is the mind side of the iron game..and i learned a lot from a few extreme sports. On the other hand i may have had a record for the most overuse injuries in a year and a half in BFL...six. Well, right now it is such a joy being one of the folks going for it at the Powerhouse. LOL...i was the oldest one there...with reading glasses but it was cool as iceland....to be middle aged and to go back to a favorite routine of a lifetime ago....and feel so good. So much about me...hope you and ALL are doing well and hope to see some of you here in Hawaii....to celebrate.. Aloha, Tom

I missed you FRIEND! Hugs and LOVE ,Laura xoxoxoxoxoxo

I wanted to stop by and see how you are doing, I hope that you are doing well. Blessings~ Jerome

Hi Ellen, Thanks for dropping in on my little place here... Well, when you mention you are giving and loving and care about people and animals....that says a lot.... For me the physical side of the program is very straight forward...simply becuase i have been training since the 1960's.. I am just starting to really grow on the spirtiual side.... Well...one thing i love about Bill is how he taught me reciprocity here and for several years in BFL.. Well...re: friends in BFL hundreds are lifetime ones and i hope to get to know you and many others... I have been inspired...big time by folks where i live, in BFL in this program and from little kids to elderly folks.. One of the first things i point out to folks things i do....is i am not a leader....but i choose carefully who i follow.. Sometimes i yak too much about training but the thing is there are gym rats who are at the gym a lot and folks like me they call gym dinasours...lol One reason i give ops on training is that between me and friends we have made every mistake in the book at one time or another....but we may also follow icons from Jack Lalane to Bill Phillips....and try to learn the lessons. and apply them... Well...i was a slow learner in BFL...and new here... However of any lifestyle i have seen .....this is trully the best.... and it has led me to great peace of mind and happiness... Ya know i just turned 53 and feel like a teenager...and and am having a lottta fun....and also am getting some good personal records. Yes Bill has done many wonderful things for a lot of folks... I love being the new kid on the block here and yes the inspiration is ...big time.. Well Golds gym is closing soon here and our biggest YMCA is moving... so i will help out some on that and i train at quite a few places.. Not some much for the equiptment ......to see and train with wonderful folks.. Well. one thing that was sooo cool is in the middle of the night at one gym i saw someone and we were trying to figure out which gym we met in.. Turns out his Dad was the janitor at a gym i co-managed.... Well, my oh my this young man carved out a great lifestyle...and it all started for him following his Dad in the gym.. We sat down and yakked about several good friends from way back.. Well regarding you last message...one thing i thinki i know is that if one reaches out in the gyms or wherever they train or right here.. one can have 1000's of gym friends.. During this message i got 2 calls from gym folks and ya know that made me feel really good... Take care, Aloha, Tom
