It’s a great time of year to review goals and purpose for anything.  I’m reviewing some things I put down several years ago about my training.  I like to review my goals and purposes.  It helps keep me on track and reminds me (or "RE-reminds me" as a friend of mine says) of my purpose for doing what I do.

I have a list of 52 benefits of strength training (bodybuilding, fitness, call it what you will).  Here are a few…

My clothes fit well
my muscles have a great tone (not flabby)
I am more attractive to my wife
I relieve stress
I have a reduced risk of diabetes
I keep a high level of HDL (good) cholesterol
I have a reduced risk of many cancers
I recover more quickly from injuries
I tolerate extreme heat better
my lungs work more efficiently
I am satisfying a life-long desire.

That’s just a few…there are lots more.

Have a great new year!  

My work is finally getting settled down.  As a matter of fact my wife and I are selling our business.  After five (5) hard and successful years, I’m worn out.  I was not built to own a business.  I love the selling, the products, the customers…it’s just when all that’s done, I still have a day’s work on my desk just to keep the business up to what it needs to be.  "What next?"  Everyone asks?  I don’t know and I’m kind of excited about it.

One thing that IS next is a more consistent workout schedule.  I am jacked about that and well…maybe I’ll get back to being a little jacked as a result!

My wife is calling.  We are cutting out paper strips to make stars for Christmas decorations.  If I don’t get back in a few minutes, she’ll be hunting me down.  I CAN’T be found making a post on my Bodyspace (hehehe).
