So I have made a schedule for all the physical things I'm supposed to accomplish during the week if work does not get in the way or important social events. The times are when I start and get home... My dinners will be the only challenge and exhaustion.
Monday: Zumba and steam room Done work at 5:00 Gym from 5:30 - 7:30
Tuesday: Meditation begins at Done work at 5:30 Gym from 6:30 - 9:00
Wednesday: Pound or Zumba and steam room Done work at 5:30 Gym from 6:30-8:30
Thursday: Zumba and Yoga or weights Done work at 5:30 Gym from 6:15 - 8:15
Friday: If I have nothing to do I should go do some weights. Done work at 2:30 Gym from 3:00-5:00
Saturday: Nothing. (If I do a physical activity, pick an outdoor activity) DAY OFF!!!
Sunday: Weights and steam room. Random
So I have to make dinner for Monday to Thursday... I guess I need to start thinking.
Now I have to find room for reading. I don't know if I'll be able to do all this. If I do it all I must plan all my meals before hand and like have very little time at home...

Eating healthier...
Food is either your medicine or your poison.
Words to remember to motivate me when I make food choices.

What.
Do you ever wonder why you are thrown together with the people who are in your life now?
These people who challenge you, push you, calm you, relax you and love you are people that have been chosen to be with you in the same time and place. At a moment's notice they can disappear. At a moment's notice they can appear. With each and everyone of them a connection is clear.
Though I read somewhere recently asking why you have met with certain circumstances is a very debilitating question. Instead, we should ask what. As Why forces us to be victims and forces to stay in the past or forces us to surrender to circumstances as slaves where as what gives us a opportunity to move forward from what we have experienced.
So every time I start thinking of Why... I am going to switch my thoughts to What.

Some progress with my goals
I registered for a mindfulness class in the Kits community center. I'd like to take more classes but I need to make time for the gym so I can be healthy.
Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays need to be gym days as my Tuesday is now taken. Maybe i'll do double class for pound on Wednesday to make up for it. My weekend can be a free for all.

New Years resolutions...
Ok... I have refined my new years resolutions..
1) Lose some weight: when I reach my visible goal (will not weight myself) I will by myself a new phone. Within this goal is exercising and eating better
2) Continue to work on my spiritual growth. This year I will take one course on spiritual growth (at least), read more books and try to do some meditation or find a way to center myself in the moment.
3) Meet new people and make new friends.
4) Follow my heart to enjoy what this city has to offer.
5) Save money...
In other words, I'd like to balance my life more. Balance requires maintenance!

New Years Resolutions.
Every year we make New Year's Resolutions. I've been thinking about mine. They are always the same and I never achieve them. I am always trying to change my bad habits. However, those are always the things that I turn to for comfort or for my needs.
It's really hard to change.
I will still write them down anyway.
1) Eat better.
2) Drink less.
3) Exercise more.
4) Be more empathetic.
5) Try to make every moment a good one.
6) Choose to forgive.
7) Be patient.
8) Accept the changes that come with life.
If there are anymore I'll re enter later.

Awesome days
Today I accomplished all the things I needed to do.
1) I set my intention for the day. I wanted to have happy interactions with people and have a feeling of peace. I wanted to give love and receive love.
2) I wanted to do everything on my to do list... go to work... go to my second job... head to the gym... go to the steam room... I did all that! w00t! I as this close to cancelling on my second job today and bailing on the gym but I'm so glad I didn't. I got a burst of energy from it. Feels great. I feel I am on the way to a better lifestyle. I love the feeling of being in the steam room. It's a strong reward for me. Usually when I'm on a roll with the gym I stick to it for a while and I get that feeling again. I need to keep it in mind.
And I think maybe setting my intention for the day is something I should try and remember to do everyday. Why not wake up everyday with a intention of how your day will go.
If you don't know what it means to set your intention of the day it's very simple. Before you go on in your day, sit in silence, and think about what you want your day to look like. More importantly, think about how you will give that day. Why give? It's something within our control and it's generates good feelings. Do not imagine your boss telling you that you did a great job or the man of your dreams showing up at your door. You can't control people with your intentions. Instead, try to visualize positive interactions, feelings and overall what you will do to make your day successful and go out your door with that positive energy instead of the morning drabby debbie downer feelings that we usually get on gloomy cold mornings.
I think it worked for me today. Today I reached out to someone from my past with good intentions. I haven't heard back from him and I don't think I will but that's ok. I got something back today. I met three random people and had three random conversations. There is enough goodness to go around. You should just give and someone will give it back to you. It might not be from the person you want it from, but maybe that is how it's supposed to be.
They say that once people let go of things that hold them back... three new things will come into replace it. Things can only come to you if there is room for them. So set your intentions and get rid of all the junky feelings you have. Replace them with something new. Renewal.
