Notes from early 2016

-
Failure isn't the opposite of success.
Failure is the prerequisite to success.

Goals are lighthouses in rough waters

Strive to become organized

Make time for what's important and what's important will make time for you.

It's not what you know, it's what you can give.

Find ways to make a difference in another's life

Thoughts direct emotions
Emotions direct actions
Actions direct health

Don't settle for an identity of sadness

You are not what you struggle with

What you are speaks louder than what you say.

Time is not a renewable resource

We can have more because we can become more

Leaders help those who do poor do well and those who do well do better.

If you share good ideas, you attract good people.

Leadership challenges you to become more than average

Make rest a necessity

Rarely great opportunities interrupt you. If you want to find, seek.

Desire without decision is just a dream.

Bad seeds grow bad fruit

What's one thing you can do today that'll move you toward your goal?

Determine what you do daily

Failure is an event. Success is a process

What you feed your mind determines your mental appetite

You can give to others when your cup is empty

You are not emotion, I have emotion.

In Christ, we are a new creation = When you share your gifts, You are renewed.

My Response to FitToFatToFit Episode 4 with Alex and Geoff

So I was watching Fit to Fat to Fat Ep 4 today and I got to admit. In the beginning I did not like the trainer. He embodied the stereotype of why I didn't get into fitness. Or that's the story I tell myself. Alexander Delacruz is a weight loss dietitian from Los Angeles and man alive, he put me off immediately. I mean, I've seen 3 of the shows so far and I love the series but I was about to turn the TV off and go do something more productive with my life instead of listening to this jerk.

Fighting Frustrations

-
I got frustrated last week because I wasn't as flexible as I wanted to be. I mean, it's only been 36 years of me trying not to stretch, why can't a perfect it in 2 weeks, right? Ridiculous, right? I laughed it off until I realize I do it all the time. I remember, I spent years tying to perfect a way to quit smoking. Guess what? The right conditions never fell into place. The puzzle never solved itself for me. Outside Half Priced Books, I scrambled to get far enough away from my 9 month boy, John to light a cigarette. When I did, he reached up his read to see where I was and what I was doing, then frowned a heartbreaking frown. It was that moment when the distance between where I was and where I wanted to be became too painful. there, I decided to take my first imperfect step to quit. Guess what? I didn't get it right the first time. I stumbled and immediately reached again for a cigarette. Many times I did this on my imperfect journey quitting. But in the end, gi...

Rocket Science

You don't need to know Rocket Science to lose weight. Of course, it helps to become knowledgeable in nutrition if you want to go far. But if you're just looking to lose 20 pounds, it's pretty easy. Eat Less Do More ZenHabit's summed it up even better in this article . A diet is healthy when it: gives your body nutrients it needs, without giving you too many calories (too many calories leads to obesity over time), or unhealthy things (like too much saturated or trans fat, nitrates, excess sodium, unhealthy chemicals). It's that easy... in the beginning. Of course the next natural questions are How many calories should I consume daily? What nutrients do my body need? Great news! There are apps for that. I use MyFitnessPal. Another great one is LoseIt. They are both free and help you track calories and nutrients. Of course, they only work if you use them.
