Monday

Monday started out ok. It started out well because I got my ass to bed at a decent our on Sunday. I woke up drove to work, went to training. Struggled to pay attention, but I let the trainer know to call me me every once in awhile. I really learn when I am put on the spot. Nothing teaches me more than my peers knowing that I don't know the answer. So much in success books is true, but if you can't do the stuff they tell you then non of it works. So what I am attempting to do is to plan out meals, get some sleep, put in effort in things I do, and compete. Effort on the bicycle, effort at work, learn from the mistakes then let the chips fall where they may. I was able to get to the gym today after droping off my cobra payment. It was somewhat productive. I learned that you burn more calories going slow on a bicycle because if you peddle fast the wheel spins and you have to keep less effort (energy) to keep the wheel spinning. I think I have found out that I like the excersise bike because you can close your eyes and just pump away unlike the treadmill where you have to have your eyes open for balance. Overall it is a good thing to do when I am sick of regular stuff. The night had Jason and I just talking with Adam L, and Kurtis at black dog. They were doing stuff that younger guys do because they are younger. Overall though my friends have grown so much they have grown-up problems. It is weird to hear myself and others complain about Mondays because our only compaints used to be how hung over we were or how I got punched in the face. So overall life is good and I have to remember that I need to take the attitude of service, because that is what I am here for, to use my talents to make other peoples lives better.
