August 23, 2012 There was a time in my life that I thought I had everything planned out. I was young, I was in a fantastic relationship and I had only known the "normal" hardships of a teenager. My thoughts were about what I was going to do on Saturday night, what my shifts at work were going to be like next week and if my parents were going to find out that I went into Boston last weekend. Problems were the fact that my friend broke plans with me to hang out with her new boyfriend, I didnt have any money to buy a new top for my date on Friday night and how in the world I was going to get to a 8:00am class that I had no choice to sign up for in college. In the middle of all that, I had a vision of what I wanted my life to look like. However, I have to say... if you asked me then what I thought my life would be like at 30+ years old and compared than to now... I was pretty far off! I am, by virtue of my bloodline, a planner. I think about the future often. Maybe thats a go...

August 2, 2012 Use your energy for the right purpose if its a good day, channel it... if its a bad day... channel it.  I decided to go to the gym this morning because I have a work function to go to today after work. I didnt want to miss my skill session since I know it makes me have a pretty lousy day. The problem I am having is that while I know what I have to work on, I struggle with what to actually work on on these skill days. Sometimes on a Thursday night I will do the warmup posted than go for a run, or do a "death by" workout... but I feel like I am losing steam with creativity! I dont like that!  So when I got there this morning I decided to do the deadlifts that were the skill session for the workout. Normally I dont lift heavy things on my skill day (unless its myself to the pullup bar or something)... but I couldnt resist, I can never resist, a good deadlift session. I was feeling a little glum since I couldnt figure out what to do, so I used that ...
