Sleep

What a difference rest makes!  When you don't get enough then you drag through your days and it's hard to focus in on your goals let a lone execute on them.

On the flipside, getting 7-8 hours of sleep helps you see clearly and feel inspired to accomplish the tasks at hand.

I had decent sleep last night so I am going to make it happen!

Choice to Challenge Ratio Results

Met my buddy for lunch and we went to Yardhouse for the sandwich/soup washed down with 2 beers.

Later that night...went to Tony's to watch football.

I chose to fail unfortunately.

Choice To Challenge Ratio

I have a few obstacles today but I shall overcome. They are just opportunities to make good decisions!

Going to lunch with a buddy - usually we make poor choices...

Thursday Night Football - that's prime drinking time along with poor eating.

Energy

Someday I am going to generate this kind of boost on my own.

The Underworld

It is truly amazing how much productivity is happening at this ungodly hour in the morning. Yesterday at 4:45 in the morning I was at the gym in Roseville and men were playing basketball. People had been working out for who knows how long and this was while most people where still sleeping! Well this is day three of me becoming a part of that world and it's going take some conditioning but I'm excited to be a part of that exclusive club.

What is Driving Me

I want to be healthy so badly..

My fuel:

The Scale

24 HR Fitness app

Checkins apps

My Co-Workers

My 40th Anniversary
Hawaii

My Revised goal setting

Walking past mirrors at gym

Belief - 4am

I knew I could work out before 6am!

45 Days

Luckily for me I've been exercising very religiously. That is kept me from putting on weight just last few weeks because I had some trouble controlling my eating habits. But now it's time to put up or shut up I like to have 20 pounds of fat off of my body frame and this is how I'm going to do it:

- 4days/week cardio
- 3days/week weights
- sugar free diet
- visualization
- research

Obstacles

For me to succeed I need to look at the way I interpret obstacles. One pattern that I get into is that I see obstacles up ahead and I decide that I'm just destined to run into it. I think once I get myself back together I'll be more careful. The truth is I have more power than I give myself credit for and I can avoid these obstacles - just takes a lot of courage and willpower.

Go Hard or Go Home!
