Another new girl :)

Hi there, new here. Have been spending time doing a lot of reading. I am interested in becoming a group fitness instructor. Still in the research phase of this. Have a great day everyone.
Welcome to the forum, young lady.
Do you have any personal fitness goals?
Best regards,
Chillen
Welcome aboard.
Hi Chillen. You were the reason I decided to join this forum! You write some great things.
Yes, I have goals. I have been taking some group classes at my gym, and there is one teacher of mine that is 54 and FIERCE! I took a spinning class of hers, and I admire her so much, I want to be like her at 54. I am 37 now, and consider myself in pretty good shape, but could be better for sure. I am thinking about becoming certified to teach group fitness. I would like to bring a Turbo Kick class into the mix at my gym. Would like to teach strength training and some form of aerobics as well. I just really enjoy being around people who like to work hard on their fitness. Lastly, I want to be that woman that you walk by and say "WOW"! She's fit!
So, I am getting there, and getting better the older I get
..Thanks for saying Hello. Oh, one last thing. I am really trying to get my arms and shoulders the way I want them so that I can feel great in a sleeveless top. Ok, nuff said.
Your goal is the inner truth RESTORED; do not be IGNORED; Get your REWARD.
(Chillen)
Your GOAL is part of your SOUL; please CONSOLE; and make yourself WHOLE.
(Chillen)
TheDish is like a SATELLITE.
She has the power and MIGHT to keep her goal in SIGHT.
She draws from this beam of intense LIGHT.
This IGNITES the FIGHT, and knows she will be ALRIGHT.
I firmly believe that anyone can do anything their desire, if the inner-light is flipped on, and burning bright within.
The intensity of this light depends on how well the inner-being is self-mastered.
Remember, TheDish you can do anything that is humanly possible.
You are going to reach every one of these stated goals.
The most startling and majestic beauty of all time, is the beauty of a human being: On the INSIDE. What is inside will in deed transform physically on the outside.
Look ahead: See through the trees and the small irritating hills that gather in your way. Let it take your BREATH AWAY as you see yourself reflecting back showing you the way.
(Chillen)
You see you have nothing to DREAD:
You looked AHEAD and put the old mental HEAD in the SHED and your old thoughts FLED; your mind SPREAD and put to BED the DREAD.
(Chillen)
========================================================
There is a spirit in YOU that yearns for the goal you desire.
Embrace it.
Reach in and pull it out.
Hold it in your hands tightly.
Let it fuel your hands to allow you to do the handy work necessary.
Put it back in your heart to burn brightly and you will be the queen daily and nightly.
I wish you much luck with your goals, young lady.
Do not let anyone step on your inner candle.
Best wishes
Chillen
See..you are my reason for joining. Thank you so much. Tried to send you a private message, but I am too new to get that handled, so I will just write you here. Just know that I appreciate your knowledge, and am SO curious about your writing and what your life must be like. Do you have a biography on here that I have not come across yet? You inspire me, and Thank you for that.
You are welcome.
A while back there was a thread started called: "The Interviews Thread". Our respected, member Typhon started it. Within it are backgrounds on various members, and I have mine included. If you wish to take a look at it, here is the link, young lady:

If I can assist you in anyway, let me know.
Keep Rocken-On!

Reading Chillen's posts was also a major reason why I joined this forum!
Welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy yourself
SO GLAD I asked that question. I enjoyed reading your interview so much. I cried my flippin' eyes out reading about you and your wife. You are a great person, and have overcome a ton of things. I want to print it out and keep it if that's ok. I also want to print your reply to me a few days ago. You are making a difference, and that is AWESOME. Too many parts of your story to comment on. Loved the clothespin thing in your garage with the pictures, laughed about the almost getting run over thing, could totally picture that
Wondered how some human beings can be just so dang mean to their children. My little girl is the love of my life.
You definitely reached hero status that day in the bar, and you deserved to be rewarded for that for sure. But the way you love your wife, most women could only dream about, and that is just something else.
Well, I was looking for some inspiration and guidance and went surfing around the internet for the right place for me, and look what I have found. You rock, my friend. I will keep the fire inside me going for sure.
By the way, my name is Tish. A few people call me Tish the Dish, which is where my screen name came from. I found the Chill out log yesterday. I have more reading to do now!
Thanks again
She walks life touching many peoples hearts; she is the most unselfish person I know.
I have been married to her for 25 years and this doesn't count the few years dating. I met her when I was 19 years old. I have spent nearly my entire adult life with her. We are both very strong willed, hard headed, and determined persons, that completely understand each other's personality. Where I am weak she is strong. Where she is weak, I am strong. And, we have a bond between us few are able to obtain.
She will weigh about 130 pounds before going to work and weigh 148 after work; all water weight gain. Mostly in the legs. Each morning I help her to get specially made nylons on her legs to assist with reducing this water retention. Though it helps, it doesn't eliminate it.
Sometimes she cries. But it isn't cries of pity. These cries bare the soul of her "inner glow" of strength and determination. There is no price tag one can give to the circumference of this "inner glow": She has been given so little physically, but has so much spirit. In her is a "type" of strength some men can only "dream" about personally possessing or even attempt to possess, but will never attain it. Her "insides" are "alive" and has made the absolute difference--in how her body is handling its deficiencies.
I have "never" stated this on the forum before, but I am going to state in anyway:
I can sometimes be the most "misunderstood" member on the forum.
It has been claimed that I have a "ego" trip problem, or I have a constant need for an ego feed, or I was obsessed with the rep the system (personally), and post count--and "usually" these "sorts of comments" are from the same 5 members. All of these are false.
What I "attempt" to do, is touch persons hearts as much as the limitations in posting represents. This is me in real life as it is on the forum. I have never lied about my intentions, but some persons choose their own truth other than what it really is.
I was dead inside once in my teens. I know how this feels. One of the best things I can do (IMO) is give BACK to various people the gift of realizing they have this spirit, when some may think they do not. Many persons in this world have done this sort of activity for other people (in need of help) concerning different sets of complications. So, it isn't anything new.
Additionally, I know (as everyone else should have figured out) there are always persons with different opinions on what you say (like me in particular), it doesn't matter what you say, how you say it, when you say it, their opinion isn't going to change.
And, my ONLY motive is to have people realize they have it in them to move their personal spirit and assist them as much as I can; there is no other motive.
It us "usually" the ones that can't thunder their own heart, that squawk the most, and are seeming "incapable" of understanding this "feeling" because they can not get at "ONE" with this feeling their selves. There on the outside looking in, and "think" they know whats going on, and really don't have one clue.
I "rarely" come out and defend my position. I see no need. But, I will make an exception, due to your comments and questions you had asked.
Additionally, there has been some comments, that I haven't dealt with my past (my childhood rearing, or put it to one side). Some persons reading comprehension is off a tad, when some have read the various comments I have made on this subject matter.
What they perceive as truth, isn't what the truth actually is.
The truth is, I have personally dissected my childhood rearing past probably far beyond most other persons with similar childhood complications; some can go there entire lives and not "deal with it", and become "un-wanting" personal products--and never "really" know it.
We "all" are personal products through the accumulation of personal experiences and how we manage and process these can vary person to person. "Some" sub-consciously act without knowing and do not attempt to make the subconscious a conscious awareness.
I can differ in this aspect.
I am mentally sound, but not perfect.
All.....please raise your hand if you are perfect......uh......I don't see any......:biggrinsanta:
I am a product of "this" personal investigation. As such a bi-product surfaced: A tended to be an over achiever. The opposite is an under achiever, and median ground is somewhere in-between. All of us can fall into any one of these dependent on a variety of factors.
When I was 18, my internal spirit was "wounded"; my mother reached in and took it. The question becomes: How do I put it back once I recognize its missing? Like I said, some can go all of their lives, and not do it. In order to attack a problem, one has to be aware one exists, no? (uh, fundamental basic logic). I had to be consciously aware that this spirit was missing (and who did it, and not go off balling "poor me") so I can lay the foundation to put it back in myself.
If I wasn't able to, I would have been a different person.
And, this is an extremely short and simplified version of explaining it.

I remember the comment made by the male person in the bar: "you are not big enough to take me to jail" (I got this all the time, lol. Even bigger men saying I have the small guy syndrome. Well, they have the big guy syndrome, and tend to under estimate, which leads to defeat).
Well, after getting up, and with teeth clinging to my shirt through blood blotches, he found out differently. He had 100 pounds on me. He went to jail, and I took him in handcuffs.....to the car myself.
But....my wife..was the bigger monster...LOL......no match. Career over.
I appreciate your comments Tish.
I am in the hopes you stay around and contribute, and share your fitness goals (and life) with us.
If I can assist you in any way, let me know.
Best wishes
Chillen

That's exactly what I read between the lines in your "interview", Chillen. You didn't have to come out and say it. It was already there in plain view for those who chose to see it

Which is to say, it really was, but only because some people have really bad reading comprehension, and a standard perception of reality. I was gonna say nonstandard, but sadly, being close-minded is far more common than being open to truth whatever the source.
Not referring to you, here, Dish. People like you are why I read these forums! Well, and most of the regulars, too. Particularly folks like mreik, LV, tony and, well, pretty much everyone who was or is now a mod/admin, haha, and then there's Chillen.
One requires, from time to time, a reminder that there are in the world people with a healthy appreciation for growth.

Hey Chillen, can I just say you are a genuine inspiration to me. I am also 5ft 7 and come from a pretty effed up childhood (no good parents, no other family, not nice but wont go into this) and like yourself have reached the path where I have tried all my life thus far to self teach and progress the hard but I feel most productive way. I am at a part of my life now where, like you once did, I feel my spirit has been missing for so long now.
Hearing your story gives me tremendous hope, that with hard work, discipline and a little love, we can all achieve anything. Yet again, I know you dont need to hear this, and I dont see any ego within you, but thank you. Seriously... not many people speak so positively and without judgement about everything.
Like a modern day buddah... with abs!
