If you take your anger and focus it on your diet you will do nothing but improve what you eat.  You won't tolerate slacking off.  In the end you will be better for it.

I find that anger helps me on a daily basis.  I am aware of when I'm angry and I can control it.  I find that if a particular episode of being angry is a bad thing, I simply replace the negative with a positive and everything is good.  That's the point I'm trying to get across here.  Use your anger and replace it with something positive like a better workout or a better diet.  You won't be sorry you did.

It could be as simple as doing more cardio, eating more calories, eating less calories or lifting heavier weights.  Whatever it is, you need to start in order to get to where you need to be.  Even the longest journey begins with the first step.  You had to start the journey somewhere.  Instead of letting things control where you go and when you go there, why not control it all yourself?  Start taking control today.

Life is short–that's a cliche.  The fact is that for most people life is a pretty long time and to live it full of regrets over things you never started is not conducive to your future.  Grab the bull by the horns and take control.  Start controlling your bad habits today.  Start taking a stand for yourself.  Start telling the bully to leave you alone.  That's right, start being your own person.

It is a choice we make my friend.  We can either stand and wallow in our own slop like pigs do or we can start going in the right direction.  Making the correct decisions isn't that hard, but you have to start doing it right away. 

Nike+

Ok, so this device drives me crazy.  I ran on the treadmill today.  I only had a short time because I had an East Coast conference call, so I did 1.3 miles, but the Nike+ only registered 0.66 miles.  Then, in the afternoon, I went for another short (2.5 miles) run.  I even went around the loop that it previously registered as 0.99 miles and yet the total mileage it registered for my entire run was 0.30 miles.  I have read that the problem lies with how secure the sensor is, so I've gone and purchased this:

What's interesting in a relationship is when one side just refuses to say what they mean and mean what they say.  At that point, compromise is not possible.  It is an important lesson to learn in other areas of life as well.  If you personally set up a fitness program (food, exercise, blogging, etc.) and then you don't say what you mean and mean what you say, you are going to compromise on the plan you set up and not be as successful as you could be.  It is a vicious cycle, that's for sure.

Lately I see alot of examples in life that need to be applied to situations where you are alone–those character building moments where nobody else is watching.  In fact, that's really my definition of character–who you are when nobody else is looking.
