Breakthrough

I'm having a good day, I think I have figured out a workout routine for myself that will work for me. I started getting up earlier in the morning to do my situps and pushups to get them over for the day and found I had time left and some energy so I did my weight resistance training routing which I used to do for 20 years. It was like riding a bike and it felt so good. And when I have been stopping off at the gym right after work cause it is on my way home and I have been doing 5 miles on the bike, great for my knees. So I am feeling way better about my workout routine. I just have to make sure that I am eating right and getting enough sleep to keep this up.

Pedometer

Got myself a pedometer and am lovin it. It helps me track of distance, goals, stopwatch and other neat things. Isn't technology amazing!

Tuesday 27th

Going to gym after work to go on the bike and put some kilometres under my belt. Looking forward to better weather so that I can do some outside.

Best intentions

I have been so busy lately, with appointments after work and seminars that I haven't been able to do what I have wanted to do. I have been doing my situps and pushups but haven't been getting in enough cardio. Although, I did walk about 5 kilometres yesterday. Wanted to go to training this Thursday and then it snowed so much that the roads are in terrible shape. I will finish setting up my heavy bag at home tonight and get some bag work in. Having the bag set up, I think, will help me with my practicing. My place is way to small and cluttered to do forms in. Looking forward to nice weather when I can train outside.

Good day

Having a good day today. Even though I had to work, every spare minute I got, I did my pushups and situps and managed to get some good time in on my spear (in the warehouse).

In and out of a slump

I have been in kind of a slump lately, mainly feeling sorry for myself. I goes through these every once in a while when I feeling that life's burdens start feeling heavy. I am out of it now and I am starting to put a plan together for my schedule for Kung Fu, fitness and my artwork. I have had overwelming enthusiasm about my art lately. I have people wanting to buy my work and I don't have inventory right now. So I really need to set a schedule and stick to it.

Act of Kindness or Not?

I have always struggled with this situation on whether or not it is an act of Kindness. When approached by someone that obviously has a drug or alcohol problem, perhaps homeless, that is begging for money, should I give them some money or not? Am I being kind to them when I am almost positive that they will use that money for their addiction? I know, initially, it will relieve their pain but when looking at the overall picture, am I not just adding to their problem? And how do you know for sure that they aren't going to use it for food? I would love to hear someone else's perspective on this.
