Day 43 – Near Fail, But Not!

Today’s morning workout was Chest Day, with nothing for the most part out of the ordinary.  There was a new person there, doing some serious lifting, but otherwise a quiet and empty/peaceful gym.  The rest of the day was a little haywire, but successful enough.  Was able to get 2.28 miles in on the treadmill today in 45 minutes as well, but not until much later than usual.  I almost forgot to go for my walk altogether.  I sat down at 8 pm and checked my list and started thinking to myself, “Did I go on a walk?” and the only answer I could muster was, “Nope!”  Had I not made that realization, I would have had to recycle instead of finish the challenge soon.

So after my walk, I was able to sit down for a couple of hours, get my reading in, my Gratitude Journal, and finish up the rest of my tasks.  I’m a little behind on some of my Bible studies, but other than those, I’m actually in a decent place overall.  I’m still making up for the lost time I experienced yesterday, having to stay up until 1:30 am and all.  I even, for a very short time tonight, fell asleep at my desk. 

I’m starting a new book today, and this week I’m reading Start With Why by Simon Sinek.  It is supposed to provide me with the ability to inspire others as a leader and perform in an inspirational way.  We will see how that goes, but thus far it uses the examples of The Wright Brothers, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs of Apple, and Martin Luther King Jr. for people who lead and inspire others.  Some pretty good company there!

I will have to get caught up with Bible studies another day.  Right now it’s time to get some real rest in bed, because I’m done with today.  It was a Near Fail, But Not!
