Today was interesting, and not all in a bad way. We started the day off well enough, with Shoulders Day at the gym which is almost completely Barbell and Dumbbell work. This morning the weight room was being used and crowded, which is unusual, however I was still able to do some of my exercises on the dedicated equipment that does the same exercises as what I do with the free weights, so no ground lost.
Typical errands ended up not so typical today as one of them that we expected to be an hour meeting, quickly turned into almost two and a half hours of meeting instead, not that it was a problem, just unexpected! Because of that some of the other tasks we were hoping to accomplish ended up not happening! From there we got lunch going.
Afternoon I had a doctor’s appointment to prepare myself for a quick outpatient procedure next month. That quickly turned into my Social domain’s meaningful conversation as the nurse could relate to the healthy eating we were doing and we started talking about carb light and gluten free options available at the grocery stores, and which we liked and recommended. We compared notes for a few, which was interesting to do with a complete stranger to the depth that we did.
Once I finally got home from that appointment I was able to get off to the gym for my afternoon cardio workout. Outside workouts don’t always workout because of the location of our house being on a highway, and surrounded by other farms/homesteads that back right up to the forest and nature preserves of the area. When this happens I just head to the gym, because I know I can get it done there, when all else fails. There is always a treadmill available, or a recumbent bike (for Sprints on Wednesdays). Today I was able to bust out 2.21 miles in my 45 minutes, which was a solid 3.0 mph pace for me. Not bad seeing as how I used to go 2.5 mph originally!
My book, Start With Why, has also been an interesting read. It is talking about how some people are the Why people. They are the dreamers that know why something is needed and can come up with the ideas for new products. Other people are the How people. They are the people that can take a Why-guy idea and make it actually happen! They are the practical application people that don’t want the recognition for the idea, but know exactly what to do to bring the dream of the Why-guy to life. These two types of people truly need each other in order to achieve true success! One can by a Why person and have great ideas, but if you don’t have a practical partner to make it come to fruition, you won’t get far. The Who-person is able to make things happen and bring others together and can invest in ideas 100%, but they aren’t usually the dreamers that develop the ideas to begin with. They can have successful careers and still do well in business because of their skills, but they won’t have that Extra Epic Success level available to them like they would with a Why person in that position.
This makes a lot of sense to me, and if you’ve read the book you would know what I’m talking about! Give a try, it’s quite the interesting read so far!
It also looks like I’ve already watched the last video in the Master Class series so I’m curious as to what we are doing for tomorrow, but I will find out when I investigate the instructions in the morning! All I know is there is Only 1 Week Left! YAY!!
