One inch forward

-

 I was listening to a podcast the other day and the guy on it was saying do something every day that moves you one inch forward. No matter what you are doing, work to move things one inch forward. So I want to do my art and that is something I can work on when I get home from work for a little bit. Enough to move it one inch forward. So I did that last night. I glued the acrylic to the turtle and let that set. Tonight I started placing the turtle. I didn't finish it, but I made progress. I moved it one inch forward. I have to keep that in mind in all things. Just one inch. I don't have to make huge progress all the time. I just need to make a little progress. That's what I'm going to focus on. I have a tendency to think since I can't make huge strides it's not worth doing. I have to lose that attitude. One inch. That's all I need, one inch. 

I need to have that attitude for everything. One inch is all I need. I want to work on Akua and his place command. I think that if I don't have 10 minutes, why bother. Well, one inch. If I can only do it once, do it once. It's better than not doing it at all. Same with cleaning or organizing. One inch at a time. 

I like that. Don't try to do it all. Just do something!!!

What is wrong with people??? Do Americans no longer have the ability or desire to think for themselves??? On the news this morning I was listening to Al Gore testify on Capitol Hill and I swear to God it made my eyes bleed. The truth be damned, Al's going to try and ride this global warming thing to the White House. What gets me is not so much Al Gore, he's a fruitcake, it's that all these seemingly intelligent people are buying into this crap. People are afraid to stand up and disagree with the global warming issue. It kind of reminds me of early Nazi Germany. People were afraid to stand up and say Hitler was a nutcase. Even if global warming were true (which you may have guessed I don't think) we would need to take drastic action and institute real change. Banning incandescent light bulbs won't do it Al. It really saddens me that people can't think for themselves, that they fall in lockstep to what people like Al Gore say. Please people, use your br...

I am not a night owl. Not at all. I am a morning person - big time. I love to be up before the sun and to get things done. Nothing better than hitting 9 a.m. with most of my chores behind me. Maybe it goes back to my time in the Army, who knows. So most nights I'm in bed by 9 p.m. If I'm up to watch the 10 p.m. news, I'm up late!!! Monday night is my drawing class. It ends at 8:30 p.m. and it's a 20 minute drive home. Do you see where I'm going with this??? Generally when I get home I can't go to bed right away. I need to take time to decompress a little. Luckily I learned rapidly to eat dinner before I go or else I would be up until midnight ( I can not go to bed right after I eat). Wednesdays are worse because I don't get out of class until 9 p.m. Last night drawing class was really good. I'm actually pretty darn good at drawing. I got home at 8:50 and farted around for a while. Finally about 9:15 I forced myself to go to bed. Well I e...

I have a question.

Do you guys eat before your morning workout? If so, what? And how much before?? This is a topic I've been struggling with for some time now and I still don't have a good answer. When I was huge and had just started moving, I didn't eat before working out. I did it first thing in the morning, still do, and basically just didn't have time to eat first. So I would work out and then eat after. I lost 75 lbs that way. I also wasn't exercising more than an hour at a time, usually it was 30-45 minutes. As I got fitter and was working out more, I would be hungry when I woke up. I started eating 1/2 a banana as soon as I got up and then worked out. That seemed to work out well for a while. Then I started reading. I got all caught up in the eat or don't eat debate. I read a lot of experts saying you have to eat before working out or you body won't burn fat. Others said if you worked out less than an hour it wasn't necessary to eat first, unless you wer...
