Another drop. I am on my way to the gym for my workout...will write more later.
Morning Update:
Ok, so I put in my 40+ minutes on the treadmill at 3.5 speed and did over two miles. I burned about 300 calories and I feel completely awake. I weighed myself after the workout and the medical scale at the gym reads 214 lbs. Again, it is about 2 pounds less than my at home scale. I will keep referencing my home scale for consistency since I can't hit the work gym everyday but now I see that I may actually be closer to my low of 2010 than my home scale says.
Thoughts of the Day:
1) Music Selections - Ok, I see in yesterday's commentary that there are comments about the music being "young". I am 40 years old, however, I don't feel like I am my age...I feel like I am 27-32. Now, I don't try and act "young", I don't try and use the mannerisms or slang of today's youth, however, I have always been a fan of electronic based dance music. Back when I was in High School and College I was a big fan of Depeche Mode, New Order, Erasure, The Cure, etc. The lyrics and beats to their songs made me think and move at the same time. Now, today's version of some of that music is made by The Killers and some of the current EDM (Electronic Dance Music)acts like Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, Armin Van Buuren, Swedish House Mafia, etc. I like to dance, I like rhythm, maybe its because I am Hispanic, but ever since I was a little boy, I danced. My mother, may she rest in peace, would always reminisce of her little boy who would dance to 8-tracks of Elvis and the Grease soundtrack. So yes, maybe the music sounds young but for me its just an extension of the type of music that I have always loved.
2) Darker Days - As the winter rolls in we say goodbye to long days and we welcome in longer nights. Today, I woke up at 5:15am and headed to the gym. I got to the gym at 7:30am and the sun was coming out. Its kind of sad that it seems when we go to work it s dark and we we leave its dark. I know that Sun will be back but I love sunny days..., I will have to take a walk for lunch to get my sunlight!
Song of the Day: Strangelove by Depeche Mode
