5 Personal 12 Week Goals

I'm currently reading Body for Life which asks the following question:

What are the five most important, specific accomplishments you need to make, within the next 12 weeks, for you to be pleased with the progress of your body and life?

My answers in the form of affirmative statements are:

• Within 12 weeks, I will lose 25 pounds.
• Within 12 weeks, I will leave my current job at A*****.
• Within 12 weeks, I will fix Harry Honda.
• Within 12 weeks, I will go on at least six dates.
• Within 12 weeks, I will finish writing "10 Secrets to the Secret".

We finally have some dry weather and it is cold as a witches tit at night, but NO RAIN for a few days then only a day possibly on Tuesday and maybe some more next Saturday.

It's been a good day, a little rain this morning, some work on catching up the blogs and "10 Secrets to the Secret" along with some Babylon 5 for entertainment.

Yesterday, I went shopping around Santa Monica and stopped by Thunderbolt Spiritual Books, I haven't been in there for a while, I had forgotten how nice it is. While I was there I stumbled across a CD called "Theta Transport" by Tommy Brunjes. It reminds me of Dick Sutphen's "Alpha & Theta Waves" and "Hypnotic OM" disks except the music is better...

K & R came over last night and we had a little party, a little Brandy and too much गांजा. K & R meant it as a joke but they hit a raw nerve and one of my greatest fears. I'm going to write a blog entry about it shortly, but in some ways, I have NEVER been so scared, not in what they did but in what I sometimes see and fear for the future. Sounds stupid, but it's something I have been seeing in dreams since I was a kid and I don't want it to happen, I want to find a way to avoid it.

Well, I need to pack my gym stuff for tomorrow as well as make a sandwich for lunch, the cats would like their box cleaned and then I'm going to bed. I will be able to read before I turn the lights out, that will be nice.

Got home from work yesterday and was unconscious before I knew what hit me. I fell asleep before the 2^nd story made it on TMZ, that's tired.

It has been a beautiful day today, the temps have been in the 70's and there has been a light breeze blowing and you would never know that it was January, not even in LA. The only problem with it is that a mild Santa Ana condition is carrying dust or pollen and my sinuses have been running a marathon all day, well at least I know they are working.

I'm a huge fan of neti-pots and mine has been working double shifts in an attempt to cut the sneezing down, doing better but if I don't dry out soon you might want to invest in Kleenex stock.

I am looking forward to going to the gym in the morning, I may be a bit sore ofter, but over all I feel better for having gone and I am loving the improvements in the body. Not only have I lost 40 lbs but I am reshaping the body and for the first time in my life, I'm actually REALLY liking what I see when I look in a mirror.

Sue gave me a Rune reading after work and she didn't really tell me anything that I didn't already know. I had one flip on it's own while I was shuffling and she said it meant that I had been kind of stagnant, not regressing, but not moving forward either. Then she actually started a New Years reading...

When I pulled the actual 5 for my reading, basically she said (1) I am needing to prepare my weapons for my journey. (2) There are some programming, cultural and such that I need to become aware of and determine which to keep or to drop. (3) I have some old family (biological or not) issues that I need to deal with and get beyond, I am conflicted regarding this relationship. (4) I also need to either deal with some side projects/distractions, shit or get off the pot. (5) The continuation of my path will require some patience as the fruiting will take about a year. Not bad, we'll see what comes in the new year.

Well, it's New Years Eve and I would rather go home and do laundry than go out to a club and get plastered, just how old am I?!?

I went to the gym this morning and had a good workout and since I got up half-an-hour earlier I put in an additional 30 minutes on the cardio ski machine from hell. I really need to see about talking to someone about what ration of cardio to strength training would be best for me.

My usual workout is usually 45 minutes to an hour of weights and now I’m adding 30 minutes of cardio to it. If I have the time and the pool is warm, I’ll swim a few laps then soak in the whirlpool for about 10 minutes and the same in the dry sauna. Shower myself clean and then head for work on most days.

Except for the holidays, I’ve been really consistent at going 3 times a week as well as riding my bike everywhere. I seem to be stuck at about 185, but we’ve had this problem before.

I’m tired today, I’m going to finish up the newsletter either later tonight of before work tomorrow…

Started reading “The Emerging DreamHealer: A Guide to Healing and Self-Empowerment” by Adam and it’s seeming interesting, I will have to continue for more.

I’m also reading “Obsidian Butterfly (An Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Book 9)” by Laurel K. Hamilton and “God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything” by Christopher Hitchens (Bill Maher should check this out, it’s right up the alley with his movie “Religulous” I may not agree with them, but I understand where they are coming from and I can see why they might feel that way).
