Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

Who's body is, every day, feeling so much better as a result of his good choices?


Today, I finished a meeting and went for a quick walk downtown.

One of the quickest walks I've done in a long time actually:

I walked 1/2 a mile (including a hill) in just under 10 minutes.

Not much for most, but for my 550 lb self, that's the first time I've walked that fast in probably 2 years I'd guess. So, I will take it.

Big time.

Also, tonight I did 60 wall push-ups.

AND I feel great mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

I feel like I am being refined.

And improved.

And I am.

Oh man, I can't even wait.

I am in the process of something momentous here.

This is only the beginning.

So, remember: tomorrow is mine, like it is yours, to do for ourselves whatever we choose....to mold and sculpt our actions, decisions, and very beings into whatever we wish them to be.

For me, I am going to keep tearing it up in all that I do.

It's entirely up to you.

  3. Wow! That is better than me! I can do a half a mile in 15 minutes. Someday we will be able to do that 4 minute mile that everyone talks about!

    Keep going, you are carving out a better tomorrow! We both are!

  15. Congratulations! I am so happy for you. Your enthusiasm is contagious.

    My son loves that song (Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger). We've been listening to it a lot lately. It's a great way to feel.

    I love all the possibilities that come with being healthy. I am so excited about getting better.

    Have a great weekend!

  16. Love your statement:

    "So, remember: tomorrow is mine, like it is yours, to do for ourselves whatever we choose....to mold and sculpt our actions, decisions, and very beings into whatever we wish them to be."

    You're such an inspiration... always positive, always the motivator!! Thank you for your words of action.
