Fighting Through a Monday

    Well, in typical South Dakota Fighting Monday fashion, I got through a morning Fat Burner, got through -13 degree temperatures, 8 good hours of Business Technical Support, 1 1/2 hours of Jujutsu, 1 hour of Karate and topped it off with a Diamond Cutter.  I did not do Red Hot Core with it, as I got my Core Workout at the beginning of Jujutsu, throwing in some Below The Belt positions along with our normal work.

This morning was 35 minutes of getting the heart going. 
Average Heart Rate: 124bpm
Maximum Heart Rate: 152bpm
Time in the Zone: 22 minutes

This evening's Diamond Cutter was challenging to keep the Heart Rate from blowing up too much;
Average Heart Rate: 139bpm
Maximum Heart Rate: 173bpm
Time in the Zone: 32 minutes.

Now, its time to eat some 3 Egg Garlic & Vegetable Scramble, then collapse and recover for a Tuesday full Below The Belt Morning.

"Meant To" vs The Real Deal

    It has been awhile (putting it lightly) since I posted anything up in the ZenTwister Blog.  I keep telling myself that I need to start putting stuff up here to motivate myself and others.    However, that goes right along side of meaning to exercise, eat right, read that book, do those chores.... you get the idea!

    Don't get me wrong here, I have been being active doing my DDP Yoga and eating right, as there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I am going back to where I was physically.  I've even posted  videos up on the ZenTwister Channel, Posted & Shared on Facebook, called in (much to Robert's chagrin) to DDPRadio to give my two cent's worth, and so on.  However, its all not the same as putting fingers to keyboard and keeping this blog up.  

    The same goes for any task, whether it means making good eating choices, doing DDP Yoga, getting the Certification tasks done.  You can do all the little things around it that come along with it.  But, its not the same as actually doing it.  It is like when I ask my son about why he didn't get his homework done.  He says "Well, I meant to (insert assignment or project here), but I forgot..." or "I got distracted and fee  l really slow when I do it."  Which I understand, since both my wife & I have struggled with some form of ADD since back when they really didn't have a name for it.  

   The good thing about having already documented what I have is... I get to see that I've answered my own question in one way or the other.  In this case, it goes right back to what I put on a lot of my Facebook or YouTube posts.... "Own This Day". 

   "Own This Day" is to remind me that today, I need to make the best of today that I can.  Its right up there with Live Life @ 90% & Own Your Life.  It means that every day is a new chance to bring it and really prove that I can take it to the next level if I put the work into it.
