Be a Warrior

Arg. Can’t seem to keep up. At least that was a longer run than ever before. Improvement! Anyway, starting over with the affirmations and daily stretching. Soon I’ll add stuff about studying, then meditation.

Okay, there’s been lots of epic fail here. New strategy: start small and easy and work up.

I’ll start by meditating for 30 minutes every day sometime before I eat lunch. I will also do 50 sit ups when I wake up and before I go to bed. Once that’s good, I’ll add in a 6:00 wake up for stretching and running. Then I’ll add studying Italian and writing, then reading my German book.

Last two days were pretty good. Got in enough running, meditation, and studying to please me. Tomorrow, I hope to add some writing to my routine.

Today was very successful! I got in about 40 minutes of meditation, with 20 coming up later. I did chores while keeping a good mood. I stretched for 30 minutes, and practiced piano for 3 hours. I also studied Italian for half an hour and ran for about the same time. I’ve also increased the length of my run. I feel great.

Epic failure here. This updating with general progress just isn’t cutting. I’ve been slacking bad. I did redouble my efforts after most of the day was gone today, though. Got a lot of running in. I’m faster than ever.

Well, I’ve been doing pretty well over the past week. There were two days that I really slacked, but overall, I like my progress. Am currently working on putting a firm schedule together.

I feel like I’ve just been slacking the past couple of days. I had to spend all yesterday socializing, and the day before that I was at a pool party (mandatory) where I got a pretty good workout, so I don’t feel too guilty about it.

Anyway, today I rode a stationary bike for 10 minutes, did 30 push ups, meditated for almost 40 minutes, and stretched for half an hour. And the days only halfway done! I feel great and energized. I will attempt to do everything listed again before I go to bed, as well as some planning for a short story. However, I have to go boating later, so not too sure if it will work.

Very optimistic today.

So it turns out I do have internet access over vacation. Whee!

Anyway, today I stretched for about 15-20 minutes and took an hour long walk. I also meditated for 5-15 minutes. I didn’t really keep track of the time. Didn’t even plan to meditate. Sort of just happened.

So the day was roughly a success. I still think I spent too much time doing nothing, for where I am right now. Tonight, I’m going to do 30-50 sit ups, meditate for another half hour, and go to bed. It’s a very good vacation.

I’m spending way too much time just goofing off aimlessly. I did get in a lot of situps today, so at least I’m closer to looking like a warrior, if not acting like one. So. Starting tomorrow (it’s far too late tonight), I will record the steps I took each day toward becoming more like a warrior. However, I’m going on vacation tomorrow. Not sure about internet access. If I can’t update then, I’ll just keep a written record and fill you all in on the details when I get back.

If I start slacking, make sure you guys yell at me!

My goal: to turn my body into a formidable weapon capable of adapting to any situation and neutralizing any threat. In addition, I must also develop superhuman will, patience, knowledge, and compassion to guarantee maximum effectiveness.
