/EXISTENCE
This blog seems to have melted down and become something new over time and I'm thinking that this is more of a personal blog than professional. You can find my professional ramblings about those damn checkboxes over here. Sure, some of my professional life will seep in here, but it's really about me and what I do in my spare time. Most of my spare time for the past 4 years has been spent playing video games with friends. I've enjoyed it thoroughly but it's not really that interesting to talk about. I mean we're pretty juvenile in our humor and we rarely have any moments of insight. That said, we do have some on occasion and I may just share those here.
But I digress. I'm here to talk about inspiration. Inspiration can come from many sources. One more recently for me was hitting a weight that isn't good for my height or age. But negative inspiration rarely has a good effect on me. And so this brings me to my close friend Michael who has lost 250 pounds and transformed his life over that past 2.5 years to one of energy and life. His transformation is especially amazing when you learn that all of this has been done through changing what he eats, regular exercise, and breaking free of his own prison of the mind. I recommend you go check out his blog at http://chooselife.prohealthliving.org/.
Through his story and working alongside him during his journey, I've become inspired to improve my own life. I tried doing more dramatic changes, but they never seemed to work for me. Instead I decided to do small changes, make sure I succeed in making that change stick, and then move onto the next change. The first change I made was to eliminate gluten from my diet. It's been an interesting adjustment and my usual habits of eating out for lunch every day has undergone a change in selection. My current selection isn't the best, but it's a start. Only time will tell at this point.
Until next time:
Work smart. Play hard. Sleep well.
