I learned how to removed window regulators in the new 760Li, all about the body electronics system, and that the DME's(ECU's) are water cooled from the charge air system. I'm a BMW tech in training, and we are currently taking the F01, or new 7 series class.
On the bodybuilding spectrum, I've learned how writing personal goals and values down every morning helps complete them throughout the day, and make you really understand how easy it is to just do what you want. Every morning I tell myself, Be Great Today, write it down, and at least three things that will motivate me to work on my weaknesses everyday. It's only been three days, but it feels great at the end of the day reviewing what I wrote in the morning and knowing I made progress towards the way I desire to be.Nothin but a peanut!
Even if winning isn't logical, losing is far from optional.

This week I have learned that there are scum bags everywhere and that their cowardice far outweighs anything else.
I also learned that the better you do your job, the more people are going to nitpick about little tiny things, just to make themselves feel better.
On the positive side: I learned that any negative, can be reflected on and become a positive.
For instance my fiance was attacked and robbed (see first point) she is now determined to become stronger as a person and be able to defend herself.Stats:
01/07/2010 - 88.7kg / 23.7% bodyfat
09/07/2010 - 85.4kg / 22.7% (scale) 19.5% (caliper) bodyfat
16/07/2010 - 85.0kg / 22% (scale) bodyfat
24/07/2010 - 84.7kg / 21.8 % (Scale) bodyfat
07/08/2010 - 84.4kg / 21.8% (Scale) bodyfat
Goal:
75kg / 10% bodyfat 01/10/2010

I did learn something this week....well, a few things.
1) sometimes, the form I take with my deadlifts is wrong (or I'm rushing the lift, is more of what it is instead of progressing up smooth and slow), and I hurt my lower back this week --still new at it...
2) Taking a break from running so my ankle can heal has tested my resolve to racing this year. At first, I felt like giving up with it...but, I'm going to heal, and get back at running...and then get a few races underway this year...no matter what.
3) My parents died by the time I turned 10, and I guess I thought at some point, a person stops missing them. But, this week, I really miss them...and learned that it's okay to. Doesn't mean I'm weak.

I learned to be patient, and to look for progress where I can find it.
Scale hasn't been dropping by very much recently, but I feel like I'm still getting some noob muscle gains that may be counteracting the weight of the fat being lost - which when you think about it, is even better than just a lower number.

Same here ! Tracking my calories in and calories burnt in cardio on a spreadsheet.
Dropped 4 pounds in the last 3 weeks but it seems a little slower this week - however I can see and feel real changes other people have commented on it.
Calorie deficit, with lots of protein, and a good increase in the weights I'm lifting all working out well."The two kinds of people, on earth I mean, are the people who lift and the people who lean."

I have a friend at work who's sort of everyone's motherly friend. When my mom died, she was really good to me when I wanted to talk about her. She told me that her mom died 20 years ago and she still misses her. I guess it just becomes a part of who we are.
And you're right, it's NOT weakness. Especially if you're honest with yourself about your feelings and face them. It's OK to feel what you feel!

I learned that I have to take it slower with women. My confidence and directness intimidate most females especially when it's coupled with my sincerity. I've now had the last three women or so that I've been interested in turn and run because of it. I'm naturally a very aggressive/assertive personality and I have an innate ability to connect with people.
However, I think that sometimes I need to actually hold back part of myself because it's just too much for any female to handle in the beginning.
I'm working on it everyday but I have a really hard time not being completely Authentic 100% of the time. Oh well, hopefully I'll keep making progress.

That's truly great that you have come to that realization yourself. You *have* to be authentic though...don't change your core self...I am of the opinion that if a person meets that ''right'' other person...then things just have a way of clicking...KWIM?
However, if you tend to push away ''all'' women that you are interested in...hmmm...I mean, then maybe scaling the aggressiveness back might not be a bad idea. I don't think there are enough assertive men out there, frankly...so, hopefully, you'll meet a nice woman someday soon who appreciates your chivalrous nature.
Be true to who you are. Because so many times I have seen this...friends of mine change a little of who they are (and it's not like you are a drug addict and need to change THAT...LOL Yes, there are sometimes bad things we need to change about ourselves but that's not the case here, I don't think) they attract men because of the CHANGES they made, and then the relationship fizzles because eventually, their authentic selves come out, and the guys are like....oh, I didn't know this about you. Well, if you are authentic from the get go...then, you'll attract people who want you for you.
Just my two cents worth of the day! Happy Friday...Friday makes all things better.Last edited by whatevergirl; 06-18-2010 at 06:40 AM.
