Visualization

Visualization is considered one of the best forms of learning something new or training for something. Many believe that it is important to visualize goals and achievements throughout your training in order to reach ones full potential. I feel that it can also be applied to daily tasks and long term happiness. Take that in combo with my earlier post quoting Socrates and you’ve got a successful recipe.

So what am I visualizing at this moment
Dinner
Watch movie, Go to bed.

Long term. Dog, move, completion of specs, keeping up with email.

Sometimes taking a break from the norm is the right thing

So the last couple of weeks have seen some changes in my daily routine from e.g. a year ago. These have been positive changes, and there are too many people to thank for that, but I’m sure they know who they are. Starting from the running, to the cycling, to the moving, and to the relaxing 🙂

And I’ve been more in flux lately, so it was the old anchors that were put in place and a forced break coming up that’s helping me keep a straight course.

Socrates (469 – 399 BC)

No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training…what a disgrace it is for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

So, 2013 is the year I’m going to lose weight.

as I stated 2 posts ago, which also happens to be 3 months ago… I was going to blog more. Here it is:

This year is going to be defined as the year I lost weight. Don’t get me wrong 2012 was a good year too, but 2013 won’t even hold a candle against it. Does that means setting the bar at 45lbs….? Who knows, my public goal is to get to 180 by June-ish.

Current milestones ahead for this awesome year:

6/22 – Seattle Rock’n’Roll Marathon
7/13 – Seattle To Portland bike ride

On-going projects that help keep a good steady state are Soccer and Kickboxing, so time has become the limiting factor 🙁 I’m going to try and move to a morning routine for the runs, but don’t think that I’ll be able to do that, instead what I’m thinking of doing is moving to an earlier work day, and leaving at 5 on the dot… Should be an interesting experiment, and definitely difficult to do for the first few weeks.
