Day 1224 We wrap up our 39Th consecutive complete month

Let us define the word consecutive. Following one after another without interruption. We sit at 1238 sixty minute cardiovascular workout without interruption. My posts have been uninterrupted in the last 757 days. I started posting on June 8TH 2009. There were a few posts before we started our uninterrupted days of posting. On June Friday June 19Th 2009 is when it started.It was Monday June 8TH Day 474. However, on June 19Th it was Day 483 when I started posting Daily!

I started this month on day 1195 in search of 1200 days. I burned 1313 on the heels of a big time 17 hour fast. I started work that day at 4 am.

Today, I beat yesterday's total again. I burned 1342 calories in the hour. That is the third consecutive day I have eclipsed the day before's total. I passed on the crunches as my goal is to see if some rest my improve my numbers.

Day 1225 is hauling down the track!

Day 1223 When you are challenged you either rise or fall

The key to getting where you want to go is as simple as knowing where you want to go. Life is is as as simple as this isn't it? Take today's workout, I had sixty minutes to burn 1223++ calories. That was where I wanted to go. I wanted to be past 1223 calories burned when the sixty minutes was up.

I wound up being at 1332 calories burned when the sixty minutes was up. It was a short term goal and one I was determined to reach. A long term goal will be at the conclusion of 1460 days which is the equivalent of four years ( 365x4 ).

Life is the same way. Instead burning calories, change you focus on saving money. Instead of minutes change it to years. The perspective is the same its just the activity you need to engage in that it different.

So I beat yesterday totals again! Day 1224 I need to get back on a good run similar to the one I was on when I went a months of burning 1350 or more each day. Day 1224 is the next step!

Day 1222 We want it so we usually get it

If that is true that poses a few questions. What do we want? Where does our want come from? What happens to us when we do not get what we want? How often is that statement true.

In the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill he interview and studied countless people that had found success and he was in search of a common denominator. The amazing thing about this book other than its supreme content is the story behind it.Napoleon Hill was asked by the great Andrew Carnegie to write this book. Carnegie had so much wealth he spent a large portion of his life giving it away. this book and these people Hill and reveal the keys to success.

I set a tough goal today and I hit it that explains my reflections on the book Think and Grow Rich. I burned 1323 calories in the hour which was one more than I did yesterday. I passed on the crunches for the first time in a few weeks and I was 22 minutes later to the gym than yesterday. I am vying for a little rest to regain momentum.

Day 1223 climbs to the forefront, and I am ready to look it square in the eye.

Day 1221 After a relaxing day ....

We woke up at 410 am ready to go . Hitting the machine at 438 am and feeling refreshed and loose despite, a 18 and one half hour hiatus from the last workout. I burned 1322 calories in the hour and did 810 crunches. Today, has started with a beautiful morning.

I think there is a lot to be said about a little break from the daily toil.

This work year I have already 7 days off out of had 38. Two were vacation one was because the business was closed and four were personal. At this pace I will be taking 68 days off in out of 365. I am not so sure I want to keep this pace.

No matter, tomorrow we flip the page and look to nail down day 1222,( good old room 222) 1323++, 820 ++, and a 430 am arrival!

Day 1220 Day twelve twenty real simple

Yep, day twelve twenty three words and a whole lot sweat and ...well I would not go that far. I tell you what I my have a emoted a few tears and I know I have bled so, I will say it. Day Twelve twenty with blood sweat and tears we arrive at this moment of time.

I consider this, on this bright day{ for the first time in a few days} that I gave myself a break of twenty five hours in between workouts. I Burned 1363 calories in the hour and felt awesome in so doing. I let up on the crunches and enjoyed the stretching with the thought this my day off!

We have been going at since Tuesday of last week June 14TH, which is not a long stretch ( 12 days but hey, we battled every second.

So after a day of rest we challenge ourselves with a 410 wake up call to do our 1221Th day- Of course, I am psyched to see what I've got!

Day 1219 As we get back to our Saturday schedule

The week before last I was in Cincinnati enjoying a fabulous weekend of seeing family and attending a wedding. Last Saturday, was a step back into the familiar routine of waking up a little later and preparing to go to the gym. The daily toil this week was not as chock full of strenuous activity as other weeks of this past spring.

The credo is 100 days of hell and that has recently passed. My 13 month has also passed as May 20Th marked one year of this present routine of gym,work and sleep. My body has been tested and come out strong as I challenge anyone to follow me for one day and engage in my simple yet vigorous daily journey.

I suppose the area where most would wonder, why bother would be in the area of food consumption. I think all could get up at 410 am, workout, eat, go to work, return home, eat, sleep and repeat the pattern the next day.However, sustaining one's self on fruits, vegetables and primarily whole grains might be too much.

Irregardless, it is time for a good workout to kick in ....

Felt awesome as I beat all weekday totals by burning 1333 calories an hour. No sweep today as I only did 700 crunches- I am happy to report that I feel; strong and alive!

As day 1220 comes rolling in, it tells me we are 80 days from 1300 days and 240 days from 4 years!

Day 1218 We fight hard and some times we win on all three ends!

Today, I was able to out do yesterday's totals in all three categories. The triple crown of the day! I burned more calories in the hour and did more crunches as well as arriving a few minutes earlier to the gym. A triple victory- THE HATRICK-

Today, I burned 1315 calories in the hour and did 1170 crunches.

Day 1219 - 81 days from 1300(ETA, by around the end of summer) and 1 day from 1220 days we focus now, to achieve greatness tomorrow!
