Habits

According to Covey it takes 21 days to make a habit - I have three under my belt - 18 to go :) I have worked out 3 days this week and it feels awesome!!! My goal is to get 5 days a week of exercise. I'm not a very traditional person so exericse to me can be tango lessons at Discover Green or yoga or bike riding or anything that I enjoy that is building my physical fitness. I know me and I have to have variety - that is my key to success in exercise.

I rode another 9.1 miles yesterday with much less physical resistance :) woohoo!!! I will say, the bugs are aggravating! Almost brought me to my death :) Just kidding! But a dragonfly flew into me and scared the crap out of me so much that I was wobbling all over the road. Forrest's only response: if you fall in the bayou I will watch and probably take pictures. HA! Very funny! But it actually was funny :)

Something I know about myself is that I am extremely passionate! About anything, anyone, or anywhere I am focused on. Be it friends, hobbies, cities, health, etc. when I am into it, it's 150% of me that goes into it. I don't know why I am like this but I am. This has both good and bad sides to it - obviously. Upside is I get to experience whatever it is wholly and completely with every ounce of me and the downside, if I ever decide to stop I am left feeling a little down, okay a lot down :) i.e. this is why I'm working on my discipline and restraint :) What I like about this flaw/strength is that right now I'm totally into getting healthy - I am loving everything about it! I love that feeling of accomplishment. I just love it all! Clearly because I am so passionate about it I will be blogging about ALL the time :)

I know one thing, I am passionate and that makes me love to love. I take pleasure in things both big and small. When I am doing something that is the ONLY thing I'm doing. I love being able to do that. I love being able to enjoy a moment and it is the only thing I am thinking about. I like to think about the moment and every possible perspective my brain can come up with. 360 degrees of interest, it can be consuming at times but mostly rewarding. Am I weird?
