Friday January 2nd, 2009
Alright, It has been a wild and crazy couple of days. For some fucked reason I was in a hole like one of those spiral honey baked ham holes. I can't explain why or for what. But dammit I'm glad that shit is over. I'm back rolling and things are fucking about to be awesome. I'm gonna crank through the tony robbins goals disk tommorow along with finishing the zig zigglar disks on goals. My Two words for the year are gonna be FOCUS and DISCIPLE. As I go through the rest of the weekend I'm gonna find every way possible to put those words onto everything and also to be able to get things in a way so that it is as easy as possible for me to follow up and make things work. I think next week I'm going to do a fast. I'll make that decision as I come to my goals. I think having a consistent routine for diet and exercise should surfice though. I will be seeking the opinions of experts shortly. Let's do this.

Things Learned Today:
Today was an interesting day. I wanted to start off exercising so that's what I did. I made a list and put it on my cell phone with a bunch of music to walk to. I made the decision that I would walk at least an hour and that I would walk to Trader Joes and back. Well, In my little trek I discovered (probably in the same way that columbus did) a park right down the street from me in palms and also the palms district library!
I learned a lot about competitive eating and the challenges that it faces for the competitors. I also watched kingpen and saw the same little magazine plot line unfold. You know where the hero of the story gets the answer from a magazine about how to make money. Dodgeball, Kingpen, and another movie that I can't remember, probably the Karate kid use the same type of deal.
Listening to Ziglar and To Neal strauss meant I had a lot of re-learning accomplished today.
Alaina P isn't a liar.
Oh and i learned a ton about Us Trademark and copyright law. Probably more than I'll ever need or will ever use but, hey, it's cool to have.
Oh and read and article on modern day slavery which makes me feel exceptionally thankful for all that I have right now.
Decisions Made Today:
I would plan out and stick with my menu for the week unless there are extenuating circumstances.
I will wake up in the morning to awesomely happy music and also take a half hour to meditate in the morning.
Over the next several days I will do the Zig Ziglar Goals workshop to completion and at the end of the week I should have a well defined set of goals for myself and a plan of action to under take to achieve them.
New Thing Done Today:
New walk path.
Planned Meals for an entire week.

12/27/08 Day 1
What's up blogosphere. I'm gonna use this as a way to keep myself honest. This blog will be a daily accounting of my day and all the things that I do. This will be different from my other blogs where I comment on all of the happenings and other funny things. This will be a nuts and bolts accounting of my activities, money spent, food ate, and things accomplished. I will document goals that I'd like to achieve both short term and long term and every day there will be an accounting of whether or not I've achieved them. You can help out by sending me your comments thoughts things that you feel could help me along the way. Ultimately though, this is my journey.
