I really didn’t know much about Lance Armstrong before picking up this book. I knew that he was a record-breaking seven-time winner of the Tour De France and a cancer survivor — which makes him an incredible inspiration to others. But, other than that, I had no interest in the cycling sport or anything else. But, nonetheless, I decided to pick it up.
After the first few chapters of this book, I was hooked. There are a lot of qualities of Lance Armstrong outlined in this book that is worth modelling for every human being.
For one, his “never give up” mentality. His mother taught him at a young age never to quit. Never give up. And in my opinion, this is the virtue that allowed him to overcome testicular cancer and to make his comeback to cycling, pushing himself to break the record of winning the Dour De France seven times!
This might seem like a topic that is obvious to most people, but I think it’s also often overlooked.
In the past, I’ve been guilty of sacrificing sleep to go out and have fun. I’d go out and have people over at my place so often that I’d only get a few hours of sleep each night. I know many people are okay with this amount of sleep, but I’m not one of them. While this obviously gave me plenty of amazing stories and great life experiences, it didn’t always make for a very healthy life.
For the past few months, I’ve been eating better and getting more sleep. I’m happy to say that I feel great! I have tons of energy and I’ve never felt better. I feel like I can conquer the world.
A huge part of being successful with women is being in the right state of mind. If you’re tired and not feeling well, you won’t be at your best. Don’t neglect the importance of taking care of yourself. When your body and mind are taken care of, success in other areas of life won’t be far behind!
I decided to read this book because I’ve been learning about the pH balance for several months now from different sources. Health has been such a major focus in my life for the past several months, so I was interested in learning more about it.
What is pH balance?
Just like how your body must maintain a certain body temperature (98.6) to stay healthy, it must also maintain a certain level of pH, which is almost equally important to your body’s temperature.
This is the third book I’ve read so far, on my 8 Week Book Reading Challenge. It’s a weight lifting program called “Gaining Mass” by Anthony Ellis, a New York City based fitness consultant who specializes in designing fitness and diet program for the “not-so genetically gifted” majority.
The reason I decided to re-read this book (it’s probably my third time reading it by now), is because I’ve set my #1 life priority to focus on my health and bulking up. I value my health and my body so much, that this year I sat down and set goals for myself to get this area of my life handled. One of my goals has been to bulk up and gain a lot of muscle mass, then to cut down and be ripped.
This has been a goal of mine for about 3 years now and I’ve made a tremendous amount of progress. To give you some history, I used to weigh 135 lbs and was a scrawny weakling. Since I got my hands on the Anthony Ellis program 3 years ago, I’ve managed to gain 30 lbs or so and now weigh around 165 lbs (at 5′10″). I’m happy to say I’m not a scrawny weakling anymore, and now feel I have an “average” build.
