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.

Planned Meals for an entire week.
