Another wonderful hike this morning. Today was Diamond Head!! This was the 2nd time I’ve completed this hike and it gets better and better with time.

Team ta-tas completed yet another one. Beautiful!!

Another Maxwell mystery. What do you suppose that he is talking about in this video??

I say.. one word…. EGO!
It’s our ego that pulls us and keeps us down. We are offended because our egos are bruised. We hate because our egos are offended.

It is always there. it’s in our 5 senses: what we see, hear, touch, taste, feel….

A very restful weekend. Thanksgiving. A time to reflect on the things that I am thankful for. I am so thankful for the Love of God! I am thankful of the blessings that God has given.

I am thankful for the friends that I have been able to meet since moving here. I am thankful for my family and how well the kids are doing.

I am thankful that I have overcome.

Anna is doing well… she’s into airplanes and loves to go flying!!  She truly is a mini-me!

Completed another hike this a.m. A little over 4 miles.  Total calorie burn was just over 2500!!  Not bad.  This has been a good fitness week as well.  I now have a heavy bag to punch at when I am feeling stressed.  I actually spent 15 min last night punching and when I was done…. I felt much better.

Nugget of thought for this week:

To be a friend… you must be friendly.

It is strange that I have a group of people that I hang out with. We all come from different backgrounds but are drawn together by a common interest… hiking.  It gives us the opportunity to just talk and work through things.   I realize that you have to allow others to be who they are, if you expect others to let you be you.  It’s like backing out of the picture and watching yourself interact with others…..  Ask yourself, would you want to hang out with you?

I have developed this tolerance that I believe could be the beginning of brotherly love. Allowing others to be who they are… If there is something that irritates me.. I back away for a bit.  Taking a break…..

Taking a break…. from Facebook…from attitudes….. from chips on the shoulders…. Just enjoying life. and living stress free.

Wonder if this program will get my arms toned……..

This upcoming week, I will turn to Cathe.

I will start with a 3.2 hills run in the morning then pull my Cathe DVD after work.

After attending the ZumbaNation Pink party a few weeks ago, I decided to buy a Zumba DVD.  I will finally pull it out and dance around my book room and see how that goes.

I need to get in a spinning class as well.
