Misfortune Or Luck: Day 76

Evolution one – week eleven

Saturday, May 16, 2009

Hello Folks,

I had a very slow day today. I got some errands done and also was able to fit in my workout in the morning. I wasn’t feeling very social, but ended up going out for a bit anyway. I changed my workout up a bit and used three different exercises for one body part. I found that to be much more fun for me. Now I tend to plan my workouts right before, which sometimes can be pretty spontaneous and much more interesting for me.

It is challenging to be inside at all when the weather is so nice. I want to be outside all day.

I had a funny thing happen today. I usually change my own oil for my car and I then collect the oil in a can and bring it to the gas station later. I let it get pretty full this time and drove it over in my truck. It spilled all over the bed of my truck. I was really bummed. I noticed how quickly I became upset.

When I got to the gas station the guy that worked there generously gave me some rags to clean it up and some de-greaser to clean it up. Funny how that works. Here I was acting all freaky and then this nice guy saves the day. If only I had waited a little to see what happens, my mood would have been completely different.

That story reminds me of how little we know about the reasons behind things until much later. If I only waited...the lesson could be applied to a lot of things. Like any unfortunate incident that forces you to re-think your life. One of the lessons I am learning through the power of now.

Exercise: Interval (40 minutes – bike), Pyramid Training

Menu:Veggies and Protein

Until next time…
