Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

WOD 35 of each using 65#
Dead lift
Hang Clean
Push Press
Overhead squat
Back Squat
O-Bar rollouts
I am going to attempt to participate in the push up challenge of 100 push ups everyday for 50 days. Today is my second day and my goal is to be able to increase the number of continuous reps by at least two each day. I don't have much trouble knocking out 10 reps at a time but over 15 reps at a time is a real struggle. So here we go, day 2 and so far so good. Hopefully, with a little motivation and the support of others engaging in this challenge I will be able to stick with it.
I am still struggling with the no refined sugar/carbs way of eating (not going to use the word diet as this is really a life style change). I made the mistake of making cookies for my staff and of course had to try one, well it was actually three. But I am back on track and I think for me this is what I need to be able to do, meaning indulge every now and then but still stick to healthier eating patterns on a whole.

6 days into no refined sugar/carbs and I must admit that my energy level has improved greatly. And an extra bonus is I am sleeping better at night, this could also be due to the job change, being the boss is so much better than working for an incompetent, mean boss.

Used 20# DB, thanks to Patty who saved me from the 25#. Regardless, it was still a tough workout. Another day refraining from refined sugar and simple carbs. I definitely have noticed a difference in my energy level. I find that I have to be better organized about my eating and am enjoying the foods I prepare. I must admit I still have cravings for sweets (my true weakness) but also know that I can resist these cravings when there are good food choices available and Feng whispering in my ear.

Rest Day
This week was Homeless Aware Week and as a board member of the Homeless Action Network of Detroit (HAND) which sponsored their 12th Annual Walk Against Homelessness, I was privileged to be able to work this event. The weather was horrible but the turn out was fantastic. I didn't walk but rather was assisting with the registration for the walkers. I was amazed at the number of people who found out about this event because they were looking for a way to give back to the community. Many people came out with their children to support this cause. I work in Detroit with families who are homeless and sometimes you feel that you are fighting an uphill battle. It was so refreshing to see how much support we have and the ability of HAND to educate the community. This is something that effects all of us and one thing I have learned in the years that I have been doing this type of work, is that no one is immune. This has become more and more real to many Americans is the past year. HAND and the many organizations that carry out the mission of providing services to individuals and families who are homeless have a tough job but seeing the support from the community and people motivates us to continue the work we do.

I felt better this morning, perhaps because it is Friday, but more than likely the Chicken/Walnut Salad (thanks to Feng) and glass of milk for dinner had a better effect on my performance. I will definitely work on eliminating refined sugar and carbs, so I am "in" , Feng. I am going cold turkey and hope to see some significant results.
