Well it’s the end of one month and the beginning of
another. So, what’s it all about?
Well, first, I want to update everyone on my Soul Goals /
Resolutions.
Here they are just to remind everyone.
1)
What the heck did you think Number 1 would
be? Here’s a big number. I plan to lose 75 Pounds by December 20th. I plan to lose at least 25 of that by May 12th. You can track my process by my new plan
online at myfitnesspal.com. I encourage
everyone to join and help one another.
My user name is tommywd
2)
Words are
powerful. Words are never perfect, but
they can be used to help or hurt. I plan
to use my words more positively in 2013. That means (GOD HELP ME WITH THIS ONE)
less cursing. Fewer complaints. More encouragements to all around me. More love.
A little less attitude (though I wouldn’t be Tommy if I didn’t speak my
mind) a little more confidence in what I say.
3)
Starting
reading my bible more often. I do not
agree with some of the things that the men who wrote the book said. But I know God can use anything to get his
word to you. The bible is a great tool
to use and draw from.
4)
Do
volunteer work for some sort of suicide prevention place. This is in honor of all my friends who made
that choice to not be here with us. I
will need extensive training in this area and I’m rather scared to do it, but I
feel called to do it.
5)
Work on
my Business. Party Planning, Poker, and
More under the title of my business.
Grow it so one day I can stop working for companies who don’t give two
farts about their employees. And maybe
(this is a long term goal) one day I start hiring on people and treating them
how employees should. True respect. True love.
And true honesty. Not just what
the manual says to do and say to give them a false sense of whatever.
6)
More
frequent correspondence with my family and friends. Snail Mail, email, text, and even the thing I
hate most phone calls. There are so many
ways to communicate yet I’ve not.
7)
Meditation is key to re-centering
yourself. So yeah, I need to get on
that. Prayer is one thing, Meditation is
another. I need to set aside more time
for both.
8)
Blog!!!!!
This has been my outlet since I was a wee tot. So, I need to get back to it. I need to write one at least once a week even
if it’s just like 3 sentences.
9)
Done with
Soda. Yeah, diet soda, regular
soda. Hell, even Fruit Juices. I am going to get a juice and if I want juice
I will make my own. All that stuff is
such junk. So, the plan really is to
start shopping at the health food mart.
10)
Finishing writing my book books. Will it get published, who knows? Will it get read by more than 10 people, eh
can’t tell yeah. But none of that will
happen until I finish the darn thing.
So, I will work on that.
The percentage is what I believe to be the percentage of
satisfaction of this goal.
Number 1- 97% Okay, so with number 1. I’ve been doing well keep track of my eating
and exercise habits and I’m proud to say overall I have lost 5.2 pounds since
starting. Not a big number, but a steady
one. As I said it’s a complete
change. Not just a get fit quick thing
then a month later I put on the pounds and more. All this was without my gym membership. So, I will be getting that back in the middle
of February and maybe by March I will be updating with bigger numbers.
Number 2- 45% well, Lol, um.
I have been more encouraging of the people around. My potty mouth is still there, but I’m
working on it. I’m using more “Fizzle
sticks” and “Yaddas”
Number 3- 5% I only picked it up once in January. I need to do better and I shall.
Number 4- 0% I need to do better on this too. If anyone knows of any resources they want to
pass along, that would help.
Number 5- 10% I’m in information
gathering mode in this.
Number 6- 80% I’ve been doing okay with this. I’m making more of an effort to contact and
reach out to people.
Number 7- 5% I am really working out a time for this, but it
seems so often I’m trying to catch up with sleep and heeling. I will do better.
Number 8- 5% I meant to do it more frequently than this, but
I’m working on it.
Number 9- 15% Well, I’m trying. It’s rather hard, but I will try a little
hard. The good thing is I have not had
any regular. But I have done some diet sodas
(Sprite Zero….mmmmmmmmm)
10- 0% that sucks that I haven’t even made a sentence yet,
but I’m going to do better.
So that’s a small update on the goals. Right now, I’m trying hard to remain focus
and one of the things I said I would do is not focus on a certain thing in my life
which is the Relationship block. Well,
this hasn’t been easy. There is
temptation everywhere. Sexual
Temptations and Relationship temptations and just everything. It seems when you put something off for a
year that this is when it’s more evident and present in your life. But I’m doing well. Hopefully all of them will be willing to wait
for now. I really have to focus on
myself this year. In the long run, it’ll
be better for them and me. Be patient
guys. Lol. Tommy will be back and as my girlfriend Dolly
Parton would say “The Bargain store will be open, come inside. You can easily afford the price. Keep in mind the fact that all the
merchandise is used. But with a little
mending it can be as good as new”
Love you all.
