Pay Day Part 1...Thank You God

I'm glad that it's time to get paid. I hate paying bills but it is what it is. I'm going to enjoy my holiday weekend with my family. I'm going to do something special with my family and friends. Anyway, let me get back to work and finish strong!

Thinking of the Future

I'm thinking about my writing career and how I need to jump start it again. I'm slipping badly into a funk that's seems to be very difficult to get out of. Oh well, I'll figure a way out like I always do with everything. I have to work harder to get book number four finished by the end of the year and start immediately on book five to complete my first series. Life wouldn't be a fun if it didn't have the challenges that come with being ME!

Later,

My Mindset on Monday

I need to get a better handle on my health. My weight and other things are in serious need of a change. I need to eat better and exercise more. When I left the Army, I weighed 230lbs with about ten percent body fat. Now I'm 265lbs with thirty three percent body fat! Absolutely horrible! I'm fat, lazy and my energy is very low. I've got to get myself in shape again before my health gets worse. I'm not going to put this off until the end of the year and make it some stupid new years resolution. I'M STARTING TODAY!!

Thoughts Of A New Beginning

Having the courage to take changes is a powerful thing. It's a scary process when you decided to take a chance and step out on faith. I'm apprehensive but at the same time excited for the new opportunity that awaits me. Risk is necessary sometimes when you need to recreate yourself. I'm not in need of a new me, I just need to stop doing some of the same old SH!T over and over again. Anyway, I'm at work so let me get busy.

Wonderful Wednesday

So far it's been a decent week for me at work and at home. My exercise program is working well and I do feel a lot better. I have to stick to the plan as well as doing exercise on the weekends and not taking those two days off! When I do take Saturday and Sunday off, Monday's workout seems that much harder to get through. I will find a way to make this happen and I will continue to move forward. A healthy mind and body is one of my goals for 2017 and I'm planning on making it happen!

Reflection

Last week was bad for me when it comes to my finances. I spent entirely too much money and it sucked. The next two weeks I will refer back to my days as a minimalist and only buy things that are essential to existence. I can only look at last week (8/13/17 - 8/19/17) as how you shouldn't manage your money. Too many mistakes, too many impulse buys and too many unnecessary purchases!

Friday 8-18-2017

I'll be finished with work soon and ready to get my weekend started. I'm going to my uncle's funeral tomorrow and I know that it's going to be tough. I will miss him and everything he's done for the family. Uncle David, rest easy and remember you will always be loved by your family. R.I.P.

Work Day - Hump Day - Fun Day

It's Wednesday and I'm at work. I have to say that today's a great day especially when you're employed and enjoying what you do like I am. I'm so glad I went back to work at Northrop Grumman. They're a great company with great people...period. Anyway, let me get back business. God bless and take care!
