Reward time!

Since I got under 240 - I decided to get myself a reward. My digicam has been acting pretty funky over the last year and it’s monstrously huge and impossible to carry around on me without taking a giant cam-purse type thing. Costco had a little compact Canon on sale so I picked [...]

Perception makes us our own worse enemy

I added a new page to the site.
Inspirational Words
It’s just a small collection of quotes and lyrics that mean a lot to me.  If I ever feel discouraged or like I am faltering, I read them again or listen to the songs.  It usually helps.

The problem with New Year’s resolutions

Revelation

I was talking to my boss today about ways to make it easier to deal with the overwhelming amount of back-projects and work we have.  He mentioned that while planning is necessary, it is not everything and that sometimes you just have to jump in and get a small piece of a project finished and [...]

Adversity

Back when I first started this site I posted about how eventually I am going to encounter some adversity in my life that will make it difficult to continue working out. Whenever this used to happen I would grab hold of that as my excuse for not sticking with my plan and it would [...]

A new day and a list of things to do

Yesterday sucked.  I woke up way too early, had a generally crappy morning, barely ate, didn’t exercise, had a crap day at work and killed my beloved iPod.  On top of that I went through more confused feelings with my ex over the phone.  But now I know it’s really over and I can let go.
