Daniel - you're welcome to join us for Saturday am CrossFit workouts! Usually 8 or 9...up at Gold's Gym. This weekend CFL is doing a free outdoor workout at Edgewood Park too =).

[Daniel Charles Rivera]

I dont have a membership. How much is it a month?

[Krysta]

38 bucks! =). but we can get ya in to do some CFit with us a few times if you just want to check the place out.

[Grant R. Nieddu]

Dude, are you a member anywhere? Kelly Rec center? Slug it out with some CFit scaled down (jumping pull-ups, lower weight, etc.) If you are a member of Gold's, I am heading over there now!

ha! on the exposing the irony. I LOVE that stuff.

[Grant R. Nieddu]

FITNESS: CFit this a.m., baby! Eating ok still. Eat @ home: saves $$ AND usually nutritious.

STUDY: Written in Blood, dream list/Top100, Walking With the Poor,..and I think I will listen to Brian Tracy's Goals while I sleep tonight.

PLAN: ON IT. Planning this afternoon after workout. Planning today, and the rest of the month. I have calendars up for the rest of the year, and will put big events, planned expenses and planned income on them. Then, I will sync up my Moleskine black book, my wall calendars, and my Google Calendar so that they are the same. AAAND, I have my schedule for next week already, which will help me get ahead.

ACTION: My Top 6 for the Day 1) Write 1000 words. 2) Plan September, and a little last quater. 3) Haiti Tasks for our event this month, specifically looking at the slide presentation. 4.) SuccessFit logo/brand update on documents, see about creating different design for Top 100 document and outlining other documents I want to create/reading lists 5) Set up Twitter leverage. (More on that later.)

Dinner with Jared and meet with Chad are the only other things!

Quote: "Life is like a ten-speed bike. Most of us have gears we never use." -Charles Schultz

[Daniel Charles Rivera]

Fitness: Doing some squats and sit ups.
Study: This girl that i'm kinda into, does that count? lol Knocking out a big chunk of Think and Grow Rich
Plan: To make progress towards the goals ive written down. I should never be bored again which is a great feeling in itself. I really need to start getting up earlier and getting better, so im planning on doing that.
Action: Pray, Eat, Workout, get a Pumpkin Spice Magic Frappucchino, and probably volunteer at station 31 :)

[Grant R. Nieddu]

Dude, a) yes that counts, and b) it sounds like you are pushing the envelope with your volunteering. That is HUGE.

Throw some wind sprints in with your squats and sit-ups and you have a good start at your workouts. If you want to save some money on gym membership, check out buying some rings for ring dips and pull-ups maybe...or going to Play It Again or something similar and buying a few dumbbells/kettlebells.

Keep it up, dude! Where are you at with Think and Grow Rich?

[Grant R. Nieddu]

FITNESS: Got me some "Elizabeth". 16:30ish. I only used 95#s. I could not do 1 @ 135#s. Did modified dips so I did 3x the amount prescribed. final workout: 3 rounds of 95# cleans of 21 cleans + 63 dips, 15 cleans + 45 dips, and 9 cleans + 27 dips.

Rockin'!

STUDY: Read through my Google Reader to catch up on the blogs I am following. Since this is more like my Sunday it was good to just not put any pressure on and chill.

PLAN: Started organizing my room a bit. Synched up my wall calendars, my Moleskine, and my Google Calendar. Need to do that a little more though. That helps me look at everything and plan it all out. Since today is like my Sunday, I spent most of the time focusing on the next 7 days of work as TRUE workdays. That equals to me envisioning my game face, getting up early, working hard, working out after work, planning our the next 7 days worth of work, etc. Solid.

ACTION: 1) Read my Google Reader stuff, 2) Write 1000 words (DONE!! SOLID!!), 3) Update the SuccessFit document (Slow but getting through it.) 4) Haiti - need to do a slide show and set up paypal for the event. This will have to be done over the next 7 days. 5) Put up vision stuff in my room: Major Goals are up (Writing and Missions). Need to put up my definite major purpose in life. Reviewed my task list. Need to do this again in the context of what I will work on next week.

Bring it, baby!! Solid. Woohah!

Quote: Ignorance exists even though one may have great knowledge, a good education, be sophisticated, have capacity in the exercise of which one achieves fame, notoriety, and money. Ignorance is not dispelled by the accumulation of a great many facts and much information—the computer can do all that better than the human mind. Ignorance is the utter lack of self-knowing. Most of us are superficial, shallow, have so much ignorance as part of our lives. Again, this is not an exaggeration, not an assumption, but an actual fact of our daily existence. We are ignorant of ourselves and therein lies the problem. That ignorance breeds every form of fear, engenders hope and despair and all the inventions and theories of a clever mind. So ignorance not only breeds all these things, but brings about great confusion in ourselves.
