Blog 148 – You Know What To Do
“Stick with the plan. Re-commit everyday. You know what to do, do it. Practice good habits.” These are the thoughts that emerge when I ask myself “What do I need to do today, what I need to hear that will encourage me?.” I think these thoughts, these answers, are correct. I know what to […]
Blog 147 – More of What Works

Blog 141 – Confession Time
Lately, I have been playing a game with myself. It goes like this. I fail to complete my exercise commitment for a given day, then, I tell myself that I can maintain my integrity in terms of the 365 Commitment as long as I make up the pull-ups or pushups or whatever within the week. […]
