It’s hard work building a better body. There are quite a few parts that need attention. The good thing is we always have an imperfection that we can focus on and improve. The downside is there is always an imperfection that we need to to focus on and improve.
I think this is why its said that happiness comes in striving to attain a goal, not in attaining it…but then, why isn’t everyone happy then? We’re all striving for perfection, right? What’s up with that.
How strange that the young should always think the world is against them - when in fact that is the only time it is for them.

Being considered handsome or beautiful depends more upon the degree of confidence you exude, rather than your specific physical features.
Get good at something. Anything. Art. Bookkeeping. Gardening. Running. Writing. Cooking. Baking.

Slow day at the office.
Last year was my year, and I tracked the whole thing using “weight-bot”, which is a mighty nice iPhone app that does what it says, tracks your weight. My start was 284 lbs, my first goal was 200, later the goal became 185 lbs (the red line), and Jan 11th, 2011, I weigh 183. At the same time, I’m proud and shocked that I did this. As all folks who lose weight say, I feel great! My additional thought is, I’m glad I kept trying, since this time a year ago, when I “tried again”, I had no idea that this time, I would succeed. You just never know till you TRY, and keep on and on TRYING. :-)
The “unconvention” is sold out. I would have liked to go…
— Start Quote from Getting Things Done by David Allen:
Most people have a resistance to initiating the burst of energy that it will take to clarify the real meaning for them, of something they have let into their world, and to decide what they need to do about it. We’re never really taught that we have to think about our work before we can do it; much of our daily activity is already defined for us by the undone and unmoved things staring at us when we come to work, or by the family to be fed, or laundry to be done, or the children to be dressed at home.
Thinking in a concentrated manner to define desired outcomes is something few people feel they have to do. But in truth, outcome thinking is one of the most effective means available for making wishes reality.

Its not just that I like the quote, its more like, I need to be reminded to put forth effort to be a better thinker…since I’m like “most people” more than I care to admit. So for the coming Monday morning, I promise to CONCENTRATE, in a more concentrated manner, who’s with me!? :-)
Fallout new Vegas on the PS3. It’s desolate, harsh, but full of growth opportunities, if I just butch up and push through. Damn, where did I put that PIP Boy…?
Jobs are useful things. I like my job, and I like the money my job pays me. I like the people I work with. The drive is long, that part isn’t so great, but if that’s the worst of it, I’m pretty lucky. I’ve been here at this job for 4 years, and I still like it… :-)
