    <title>How Micheal Phelps made me fall in love with Gym</title>

    <content type="html">&lt;br /&gt;Ok I've heard lots of tips on how to stay motivated at the gym -get a gym buddy, reward yourself when you reach goals, have a plan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;None of those tips have ever motivated me like Micheal Phelps. Now don't get me wrong, I am not in love with Micheal Phelps, I am not dreaming of the moment where we can finally meet and I can tell him how much he has inspired me and I do not hope for him to shower me with gifts, although I know he can afford to given those lucrative endorsement deals. No, what I have is an extreme appreciation for how he has molded what God gave him into the image you can see below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This appreciation began with the summer OIympic coverage. Nothing has ever motivated me on a treadmill like the image of Mr Phelps. Now I am not a swimmer, nor am I a runner. I will not follow the sport of swimming more closely now because of his endorsement.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Instead Mr Phelps's image will&amp;nbsp;keep&amp;nbsp;me running to reach my own goals. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://www.popstarsplus.com/images/MichaelPhelpsPicture.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;The past 6 months have been the best and worst days of my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally got the job. (I have to keep repeating it until I believe it)&lt;br /&gt;I was exactly the person I hoped I would be on my graduation day: painting in my studio with a friend.&lt;br /&gt;I said goodbye to two people&amp;nbsp;I thought I would always be friends with.&lt;br /&gt;I am dealing with the fighting and it kills me and it hurts me and I stop myself or someone else from screaming every day it seems. But it will be alright, I just don't get to see the plan.&lt;br /&gt;I got to see this incredibly dêsperate situation turn into something positive.&lt;br /&gt;I got to see this incredibly poisitve situation go sour.&lt;br /&gt;I feel "in love" less than usual.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I am feeling the love, constantly.&lt;br /&gt;I tried harder.&lt;br /&gt;I didn't try at all.&lt;br /&gt;I still won. And I won on my own terms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottom line: this is where I am now. And I'm actually here, right now. And you should be right here too.&lt;/p&gt;</content>
