Day 1742 So, what does trigger a change in your emotional state?

Do realize that is one of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself?

  In a sense what that uncovers is your magic button. I suppose the next great question next to that is  how triggers do you have, what magical words or impulses get you going. Yesterday, for instance I realized I was put under an imposed time crunch and I had to move very quickly to get work done on time. Was that enough of a trigger to get me going? no. I needed one other thought to change my emotional state. That other trigger was the fact that their was no one in the department that was there at all.So it was all me doing the work and being asked questions that I knew I could not accurately answer.
My intensity rose when I realized that these question would interrupt my time frame of completing the job on time.

Day 1743 A double header FT TO PRT?

Day 1741 we are closing in on 1750!

How I ask this question is important because I feel that the answer you come up with may unlock the secret to your success. Now, I know we all want  and desire success, on any level right? Here is the question, what  triggers a change in your emotional state of mind? Can you see how that one answer puts you in total control of your life?


Today I burned 2371 calories in 60 minutes while using the arc trainer machine made by Cybex.

Here we go Black Friday.I thought they going to change it to Super Friday.After a Thanksgiving of which I ate nothing all day until I got home from work and subsisted on seltzer, chopped salad with olive oil and salt and a baked potato, popcorn with salt and freshly roasted almonds. I sacked out after the conclusion of one game and the beginning of another.

Now we gym ( workout) and go to share another experience on a retailer's level of the Friday after Thanksgiving.

An intense workout where I thought for a few seconds I was going to lose it.I didn't and burned 2370 in an hour. As I did a 20 pullups stretched and headed for the door. I weighed in at 183 which might have explained my challenges.

My legs were stiff and by the time I loosened them up I could not catch up.

Day 1736 Happy fifth Thanksgiving! An attitude of gratitude and expectant

Another Thanksgiving a look back

So the game is on, focus is the key to a strong performance. Last thanksgiving was November 27Th 2008 here is what I did-
I burned 928 calories on day 279 of the streak. I was just starting to do the plank exercise. I was doing it for about 3 to 8 minutes.

2009
Today,  Thanksgiving 2009,  was stupendous I got on at 945 and rode hard for the first 10 minutes I did an awesome 165. I knew I had a good shot at doing something awesome I arrived at the 20 minute mark by burning 334 calories. That is a pace of 1000+ per hour. I wound up doing 955 calories in an hour-WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

2010
Awesome, did 2 hours and burned 2,549 calories. I wish I could do that every day! Oh what a feeling! Did a few crunches, around 400. I wonder what is hard to change the action or the attitude toward the action? Example, let us assume someone does not like to do something that they know they should be doing. However, they eventually start doing what they should be doing, that's great! Although they really do not like doing it. You see their action completely changed but their attitude about doing it only partially changed. So, in my opinion it is harder to change the attitude than the action.


2011
In two hours I burned 2560 calories( done without the seventeen pound weighted vest)


2012
Today, I got on the machine at 650am I did 2415 in the hour.(2415 calorie burn in 60 minutes)
I felt strong as I kept the same pace for the hour.
I felt strong on the pull ups!

It feels good to get in a workout that totally invigorates.

When think about the whole concept of life, it is all about nourishment. Nourish your self properly so you may nourish others properly. A huge word nourishment.

In Ben Franklin's list of virtues he points to
Temperance http://artofmanliness.com/2008/03/02/the-virtuous-life-temperance/

he makes it clear that in order to virtuous one needs to tackle this first. It is the building block of all else.

Day 1736 Here we go 540 am at the door. In at?

Day 1734 Now, we get back to our regular program.

Well it was regular but not as through.I did a great job by burning 2408 calories in sixty minutes. However I started later than usual. I got on the machine at 510 am. As a result I cut short all my exercises but I did them.

Day 1732 Workout,show and work a fun day!.

Add in a 2 pm call to Razor Focus and it will be a fun day. As we burned a great and I do mean great 2410 calories from 415 to 515am.Weighed in @ 185 and went and did a fun show. I slept from 1015 to 3 am so I got plenty of rest.

Now, it is off to work Where I would love to get a chance to speak to the group. Especially after talking to the squad at UNH.

Day 1733 Back to a regular workout.I am psyched.

Day 1731 We workout hard and prep for the meeting

Boy, did we ever! As we burned 2526 calories in an hour. That's right.I didn't stutter. Twenty five hundred and twenty six calories in an hour. Granted it was a different machine but I was challenged by that same machine last time and burned an average amout of calories in an hour today I felt strong and it felt awesome to break the coldness of this morning.

I did a great chunk of crunches in the circuit also. Especially by doing 12 minutes of plank. The plank is a very simple exercise to gage if you are doing it correctly. When you are covered in sweat while doing you know you did it correctly.

Day 1730 Oh my gosh, we are getting close to 1750!

Finally an awesome full workout. Am I getting off focus? I have been a little preoccupied. AS I have been spending time not sleeping and working on interview and getting my name out there to promote the radio show. I found myself at work in a different location yesterday at 7 am. I am determined to workout and stay  in shape and eat right and work hard and get paid and do a great job in the performance business while keeping every one I meet pumped up. In addition, to keeping a spiritual balance as I do a monthly reading at the church. As I pray for everyone's soul.

Life is good. I need to stay focused on the workout.I decided not to do a double today because I noticed that it fueled my hunger last weekend.I went from 181 weight on Sunday. After my second day of doing a double to 189 on Thursday. I enjoy controling my weight and I do enjoy the challenge of enjoying the right amount of healthy food. I am curious as to why my weight has gone up since all I eat is healthy food. I did eat more pretzels than some but that should not effect my weight that much.

Today, I burned 2524 a great pace where I felt tremendous. I was anxious to get back to the circuit and I did

I got a response back from Coach Pete and we are scheduled to meet on Sunday.I am very psyched about this meeting

Day 1730  Oh my gosh, we are getting close to 1750!

Day 1728 In hot pursuit of many things

So true. Yesterday was a great challenge but it was a blast.It started at 315am and ended at 1030 pm but dang , I got a lot done.I managed to capture my speech to the football team and let just about everyone I saw at the daily toil hear it. I can send it to you if you wish just give me your email.

As we charge ahead we realize life does give us one shot and that is all we get.

I burned 2385 in 60 today.That means I beat yesterday's number by 5.
I was apressed for time and did all of the circuit but in a condensed fashion. I weighed in at 186.

Day 1729 Now, that year was significant,right?

Day 1727 A momentous day as I do my first sports interview.

Up at 315 great workout burned 2380 in 60. Did a lighter circuit and enjoyed the interview. Weight 188. I am eating salad potato and almonds and some pretzels and rice cakes with salsa.Shout out to Gary for contacting Coach Rossomando.

Day 1728 In hot pursuit of many things

Day 1726 These are great years in the dawning of a new nation

Of course I am referring to the years of 1726 and beyond.As we are decades away from the revolutionary war. However, in my time Day 1726 was a great challenge as I did my very best to burn 2300 calories,

I burned 2329 calories in 60 minutes.A  job well  done considering that I did 5 hours of hard cardio in 46 1/2 hours over the previous 3 days.I slept and woke up refreshed and attacked the challenge of the workout.

Day 1725 Workout, show and work.

I got up at 3 am after going to bed at 930 pm.That is the most sleep I have had prior to a show since I started doing the show on June 18Th.Yep, back on Day 1578was day1 of the show.Every Monday since then up at 3 am do a workout then the show. 22 shows 22 workouts and today was the latest I arrived at the studio for the show. The reason because the person who usually opens the door at 410 was not there and the replacement did not show up until after. After what? So the race was on I did my workout got out of my sweaty clothes in the gym and raced to the studio. I burned 2439 calories in the sacred hour. I got to the studio at 545am.I feel great got more sleep and had a great show.

Day 1726 These are great years in the dawning of a new nation

Day 1724 Do we go for 68? THE 68TH!

Yes we did it! Did it while wearing 4 layers 2 tee shirts and 2 sweat shirts 120 minutes! This was the second time as in nas many does I did a 2 hour workout.Today, I burned 4607 calories as my legs were barking. They were barking but they didn't bite.

Day 1725 Workout, show and work.

Day 1723 Workout work church Notre Dame football and prepare for the show.

MAKE IT 67! As we cruise along on the streak every now and then we throw in a double. Today, I burned a strong 4720 calories in 120 minutes.The math tells me that in 1723 days and 67 days that I have done two 60 minute cardiovascular workouts in one day that means that every 26TH day I have done a two hour or more cardiovascular workout.The most interesting aspect about that is that for four straight days I did a double workout.

It has been a glorious adventure when you consider how far I have come. I did not burn 2400+ in an hour but, I burned 2372 in the first hour and maintain a good pace for the next hour by burning 2348. It felt amazing.

Between the show and the slow starts and the nor easter I had not had a solid routine workout since Day 1717.

Now we charge forward as we attack 1750.

Day 1721 The sweetest part of the day is when I challenge myself and meet the challenge!

The day started with the realization that we did have a snow storm yesterday and through the night.Also the reality that if I want to get the gym and workout and continue my streak of 1721 straight days of doing a hard 60 minute cardio I would have to shovel and then go to the gym and then go to work.


Well, ROGER THAT! I burned 2432 in 60 after shoveling for about an hour then went home showered and now I am off to work.It is warming up so the day should improve weather wise as we move along.


Day 1722 Hey maybe no snow or monsoons!

Day 1720 I need to come up with a work out for Thanksgiving Day!

The gym will be open later or not at all in the past four years.Speaking of four years the Obama/ Biden show is scheduled to air for another four years. The 44TH president will remain at large.
Food for thought as we look back on previous thanksgiving workouts

On Day 278 11/27/08 gym open from 8 am 12
On Day 643 11/26/09 gym open from 8am to 12 did 2 hours
On Day 1007 11/25/10 gym open from 8am to 12 did 2 hours
On Day 13 71 11/24/11 gym open 7 am to 12 did 2  hours

The gym will be open and I may have an opportunity to work.Working would definitely challenge the streak. If I work I will need to wait until later to work out unless between now and Thanksgiving I purchase some equipment

For the second consecutive day I got out of the house later than 455 am and got on the machine after 5 am. As result, I had to eliminate some exercises.

I burned 2411 in 60 which was awesome! I did 42 pull ups and some plank. Then I did some crunches I did 700 q's and 330 killers and 450 crunches. I did no floor crunches. I weighed in at 187.

It is now 3:49 pm and the snow has been falling since 11:15 am what a week and half a hurricane then a nor easter. It is getting messy out there.

Day 1721 The sweetest part of the day is when I challenge myself and meet the challenge!

Day 1719 As we resume our regular schedule.

Not so fast. I got to the gym later than usual and did my 60 and pull ups and a long plank session and time ran out.

Burned 2371 calories in 60 minutes and did 40 strong pull ups and did an eleven minute plank Three types for 11 total minutes. 4 minutes on sides and 7 in middle.Or 2 with the right elbow and 2 with the left elbow and 7 with both elbows. The challenge was awesome. I feel strong!

Day 1714 The power is back on!

As I lavished in the lap of luxury. Turning the heat on at 415 am.Washing with hot water. Getting ready without the help of a flashlight. Darkness is a very real and powerful thing. It is times like the one I just experienced where it is so easy to understand how people's days years ago ended when it got dark. The phrase making hay while the sun is still shinning is a very powerful statement.

As I sat in my kitchen eating last night with no heat on and only a small piece of light that came from a tiny flashlight I was planning to go to sleep shortly after I finished eating. I was enjoying a nice salad of romaine tomatoes flax seeds a cold baked potato with olive oil and sea salt and a some nice chilled seltzer.

I sat there relaxing and wondering how I was going to keep myself warm enough to sleep.Then all of a sudden I felt a breeze similar to a draft after first I thought it was the wind kicking up again.I was sure I closed the window. Then I realize the breeze was coming for the furnace duct a steady cool breeze. Then, the realization hit me, the furnace went on because the power was back on. I jumped out of my chair and put on the lights.Hallelujah we went 37 hours without electricity and now we have electricity.

A great workout despite only burning 2289 calories in 60.
