Assessment
Days 16-18 - The best part of the weekend was my keynote at the Make-Up Toastmasters Leadership Institute on Saturday morning - 30 minutes, high-energy, and it just went extremely well. Second best, seeing Mission Impossible with Kristi, which was tons of fun.
I have to say, sometimes I wonder, particularly when I look over my results, whether I set myself up with 'Impossible' goals. It's easy to get down, to get frustrated. I have moments of great success surrounded by hours, days, weeks, of internal struggle over the kids, the medical circumstances, finances, my own health, and life in general. Just like all of you, to varying degrees.
Two ideas are burning in my brain right now - 'how you do the small things is how you do everything' and 'success breeds success'.
A Quick Look at my Goals Breakout
Big Hairy Audacious Goal - It started as 'produce Speak & Deliver book' - yet NO progress has been made. I haven't made ANY time for it. It's a pipe dream under the current habit structure. Taking this under advisement.
Day 1 starting weight - 216.0 - two bratwurst, one piece pepperoni pizza, one Monster, Iced Tea, small lemonade, 2 puddings, small handful of Doritos. It adds up. The Morning Miracle stretching & Back Exercises for 15 (heretofore referred to as TMMsbe15).
Day 2-4 (today) weight - 216.0 up to 221.0, back down to 220. Bad eating, no TMMsbe15, no working out.
Day 5 - 220.0 - two King Soopers Fried Chicken Breasts, large Coldstone Creamery Ice Cream, Popcorn, Junior Mints, loaded potato burrito and soft taco from Taco Bell, no TMM, no workout.
Day 6 - 222 - steak, Butterfinger, something else bad. TMM workout, but no major workout.
Day 7 - 220 - steak, popcorn, Junior Mints, butterfinger cups, TMM workout, but no major workout
Day 8 - 218.8 - two bratwurst, 1/3 Costco chicken. TMM workout, but no major workout.
Day 9 & 10 - 216.8, 217.2 - two KFC chicken breasts, 1 double butterfingers, 2 loaded potato burritos on Day 9, Day 10 just the Barbecue, and then some Junior Mints and a couple Butterfinger cups at the movie. No popcorn, which I count as a victory.
Day 11, 12, 13 - off on Day 11, on on 12 & 13. Got back up to 220.8, then down to 216.8, then an adjustment, I guess, this morning. Haven't worked out, other than my stretches for the Morning Miracle, this entire challenge.
Day 14 - 218.8 two King Soopers Chicken Breasts, two, yep TWO, double size Butterfingers.
Day 15 - 217.2 two King Soopers Chicken Breast, three chocolate chip cookies, a little popcorn, one brownie, 4 tiny donuts, 1 riblet, 2 potato chips, 2 chocolate pretzels. Weird day.
Day 16 - 18 - does it even matter? I was good, I was bad, and sometimes it got ugly. Yesterday I starved myself so I could have a shake and popcorn at Mission Impossible.
Day 19 (Today) - 217.8
Day 27 Goal weight - 208 This is going to be a big challenge since I'm not getting any closer after 11 days... (My ultimate goal: 170 by Oct. 10)

Personal Development
I'm doing a fair amount to keep the right things in my brain, and I'm having some fun, taking a bit of a break from the Mandela book to read the comics I've picked up this summer. The Miracle Morning is taking hold (missed one day - Saturday - the day I focused on my keynote).
- journal 13
- read in Bible 1 (II Cor 3-5)
- Finish Mandela autobiography Read pages 116 - 239
- Finish two more audio books 1 - 30 minutes of Switch by Heath Brothers
- Continue consuming motivational/educational podcasts 12 - More Warrior on Fire - Garrett White - the swearing Christian....Hal Elrod's Podcast...Entrepreneur on Fire, and finally, Every Day is Saturday came back with a couple podcasts.
