So I was flipping through my newsfeed today and I came across an article with the headline "Black Hole Revealed for the First Time Ever." The article went on to describe how astronomers, at last, had observed the unobserveable: a black hole, a cosmic abyss so deep and dense that not even light can escape it.
"We have seen what we thought was unseeable," said Shep Doeleman, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. So what was formerly thought to be impossible is now possible, right?
As I looked at the image, of a lopsided ring of light surrounding a dark circle deep in the heart of a far away galaxy, I couldn’t help but wax
philosophically... I was once a 16 year old kid with a dream of becoming a champion bodybuilder. At 5’6" tall and 150lbs, I wasn’t a very impressive physical specimen. I remember telling someone very close to me, "I’ll be Mr. Universe by the time I’m 24." They laughed.
And they were right...sort of. I became Mr.Universe at 25. I missed my prediction by one year. It all started by believing the impossible was...possible. How many times do we short-change ourselves by thinking that something we want to accomplish is "impossible?" How many times have we limited our success by saying, "I’ll never be able to achieve that?"
If you put in the effort, you may or may not achieve a fitness or weight loss goal. We’re not always going to win. But one thing is certain; if
you DON’T try, you will NEVER achieve your goal.
So this week, let’s reconfirm our commitments to our goals and let’s work the plan... the results might surprise you. And what you once thought was "unseeable" just might become very real one day.

"In the past, I would start a challenge but never finish because I felt I was not perfect with my exercise or diet. This time I knew I had to finish
even if I wasn't perfect because this really is about a lifestyle and making better choices to live a healthier life.
There were definitely times I was having cravings for junk food that I should not be eating but realized my health was much more important. I knew that half of getting what I want is knowing what I have to give up in order to get it. This is a quote I still remember from Bill Phillips and has stuck in my brain."
