The results of bad choices

 I did a  32 mile bike race 6 weeks ago and felt extremely happy with the results, beating my time last year by over 40 minutes. Did a "fun" ride yesterday that was about 23 miles with a few stops that had physical challenges.  It was fun, but I was slow and not near in »

Wow...the last entry sounds familiar

 Hey all! I fell into one of the "traps" and got stuck at day 45.  After reverting back to some behaviors that I didn't agree with I decided to re-set my toolbox and go back to day 1.  For anyone new, this program is great...take it and use it on a regular and consistent »

Remember me???

 Hi, my name is Big Shorty......and I haven't been doing my Tools days very well at all.  I could make excuses and explanations as to why I haven't, but that wouldn't change anything. During my period I have been using ideas learned so far in Tools fairly well.  I have been»

The kick to the head

 Yesterday I posted a list of achievements and was feeling pretty damn good about life......Two hours later my wife called and dropped the words you don't want to hear, "The doctor called and it's cancer................can you come home?" My wife's father lost a battle with»

What I did to make my life better (small step)

 In today's audio Coach Steele said to go and do something to make my life better. Well....I did the reading for the day and took advantage of the time change and the "earlier to bed" benefit for the kids and went downstairs and did 1.5 miles on the treadmill!   No killer work»

Am I a slacker?

 Just a quick thought and would like your honest opinion.   Do you hit every checklist topic every day?? Example:  I just finished day 12, in the exercise section I couldn't come up with 3 complaints for the day.....am I slacking?  I'm not "Johnny Super Positive&»

Day 3

 Snotty 1 year olds make sleep tough, even when the wife takes care of the little guy.......leading to sleeping through the alarm and not remembering "I am having a great day". But....tomorrow is another day giving me the opportunity to do it again!»

....and welcome to day 2

 I actually woke up and said "I am having a great day", which is hard to do after just a few hours of sleep with the alarm going off at 3:00 am.»
