One More Inch Forward

-

 So I posted about moving my art 1 inch forward. That thinking has really been a game changer for me. I made that post 4 days ago and it's really resonated with me and it's been in my head ever since. I've been coming home from work and doing something on my art. It's not a lot, it's not huge amount of work, but it is something. The only night I didn't do anything was Thursday night because that night I didn't get home until 9pm. I gave myself a pass. Yesterday, Friday, I was really tired and only worked on my art for a very short time but I did do something. Today I got up and headed out to the garage first thing in the morning and got a lot of work done. I am trying something new. I am recording everything I do and narrating what I'm doing as I go. I find that I am very deliberate with what I do and it really helps me think through what I'm doing. I will take the videos and make a long form one for YouTube and short reels for social media. I can sit at night and edit videos, seriously, how hard can it be. Just another thing that I will add to my list of new talents. 1 inch forward, that's all I ask. Also, I like making the videos and hopefully that will inspire me to actually post on social media. I want to do a bit of an intro video, but I need to think through what I want to say. I don't want to write a script or anything, but I do want to know what I want to say. Right now, I'm going to figure out what I need to use to edit videos. Wish me luck.

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...
