Repetition/Returning/I don't know

First off, I act as if hearing something once will shape my life.  It'd be great if there was just an easy button for directing your mind, but from experience, there probably isn't one.  I'ma have to get out of this mindset.

The biggest thing is the conversations I have with friends.  At first, I wouldn't even take notes.  Things would sound great, something would click, and I'd believe that I had changed myself forever.  Then two days later, I've almost all but forgotten it.  Eventually, I got smart, and started taking notes.

"I can't possibly forget this, for if I'm ever unsure or need to review it, I can just look at the notes!"  And then... I'd never look at the notes.  Much good those did me.  They got swept into some box in my room.  While yes, I will recover them when I go through about the 30 pounds of papers I've got, but that's a huge task (Which I need to start xD) that will take quite awhile.

That doesn't do me much good now.

So, while finishing up cleaning my room finally, I found one of the papers.  I'm not even going to analyze it this time.  It would push me off, and I wouldn't get around to it.  I'm just going to write it here, so I can't find it.  This also allows people to comment on things too.  Eventually, I will get around to analyzing it, but until then, here it can sit.  (I'm going to try and write it as it is on the paper.)

There you have it, a glimpse into my mind when I actually sit down and write stuff down.  This was from a TED radio hour on story telling.  It's the last time I can remember really giving myself time for me.  ME.  MEMEMEMEMEME.  (Necessary for myself xD).

That's it for now.  You guys have a good night.

Schedule!

The next thing I'm going to try, in my search for getting a solid life in order, will be to implement a daily schedule.  I believe that if I can follow this and adapt to this lifestyle, I will get to my desired end results with regards to physical ability and overall health.

Here are some big things about this schedule:
1.) It has me working out first thing in the morning.  Hopefully, I'll have the most willpower here.  I've noticed for myself that my main usage of willpower (MP) is in the process of starting the task, not maintaining.  I feel this will also bolster my spirits, between just being physical and the satisfaction of knowing I've done my workout for the day already.

2.) It gives me plenty of free time in the evening.  On the flipside of number 1, I'm not going to want to do anything toward the end of the day.  Allowing myself to unwind during this time will help me go to bed with minimal stress.

3.) It will get me in a routine.  This could also be referred to as a daily habit.  The more healthy habits I can employ, the easier it will be to start new ones, and even if I don't get all of the ones I want, I'll still be making positive progress.

Here's the schedule (And yes, this means I'm going to have to be firm on a "early' bedtime by today's standards)
5:00-Wake up, prepare for Working out
5:05-Monday, Wednesday, Friday; Do my NerdFitness bodyweight exercises (This will be for maintenance and to get my body moving) 
5:05-Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday; Walk/Run/Jog.  I'm thinking of starting the couch to 5k plan (Again xD).  Up until I make excuses around week 3, I can really feel the benefits
5:30-Yoga with Kayla!
5:55-Shower
6:05-Breakfast
6:25-Leave for work
4:30-Video game hour with Kayla
5:30-Cook dinner/Eat/Free time until 9
7:00-Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday; Workout @ gym with father
9:00-Bed


Lets see how this goes!

Random Update

I've been busy and stressed with work.  And when I get home, I kinda just zone out and play Final Fantasy.  So yeah xD.  I'd figure I would at least update you guys.

I'm making my transition to a paleo diet with some sort of exercise routine that I'll enjoy.  One of the big things I haven't been doing, is finding the workout and foods that I enjoy eating, so I'll do them more often.  That is what this experimentation is about.

First off, I'm finally working up to salads.  I think the main issue I had with them was not the leafy greens, but all of the extra vegetables in it.  I've replaced my bagel/sandwich lunches with a bowl of kale/chard/spinach, some meat cut up, and some vinaigrette.

As for working out, I'm at the point where I'm just doing random things around the house.  Its not much, but I've seen a bit of muscle gain (Not too hard when I didn't have much to begin with xD).  Also, I'm working on just getting into the habit of doing some workout.  I'll slowly start refining my routine, and hopefully get into an every day thing.

Hope everyone is doing well!  It's almost the end of the year!
