Had a Bad Day?

Motivation:

Today's "Daily Motivator" at GreatDay.com - http://greatday.com/v.html?1291f02KGf62

Today is the day that it all begins. This is the moment when your greatest possibilities start fervently coming to life.
You've dreamed, you've planned, you've hoped, you've slipped and gotten back up again. You've learned about your strengths and uncovered some of your weaknesses.
Now is when that wisdom and experience get put to good use. You know what must be done and today you're in a perfect position to do it.
There have been moments when you've known how very good life can be. This is the day for you to translate your highest visions into focused action and commitment.
Today, you truly understand like never before how unique and precious your life is. And today, you can feel the magnificent positive potential that is you.
This is a time that is like no other. This is your time to joyously fulfill the grand promise that is your life.
Ralph Marston

Notes:

I saw a music video today that I thought was pretty cool. Daniel Powter: Bad Day on Ifilm.com
http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2670549 It is a melancholy tune with an optimistic ending. Who knows where this story will end.

Minnesota in March is just a bad month. It is mostly grey and cloudy in the sky, and the ground is starting to melt. In the paved areas this means that there are grey and white spots everywhere from the sand and salt that is put down all winter long for ice. And there are huge piles of brown snow that is melting to uncover all the crap that we left (littered) there during winter. It is like cleaning your fridge and finding a tupperware of "something" that now resembels congealed head-cheese. Only to your surprise behind that tupperware sits a 1984 Buick that doesn't look like anything that would possibly fit in a fridge. Some of the snow piles are melting and uncovering things that have no earthly reason to be where they are no sitting.
It is odd. On non-paved areas, dead brown grass and mud are where green beautiful nature should be. The air smells of rot and death and the EPA is sending air quality warnings.
March also has blustery winds and one day of mild temperature followed by a day of frigid cold temps and icy conditions.

We NEED April to get here soon, to shower us with gentle rains and start to perk up the vegetation and put that fresh smell in the air. The rain can wash the crap off of the roads and sidewalks and the ions in the air will feel like "Spring".

This is the month of melancholy in my life too. I usually get sick or depressed in March and I can feel that I am drained.

Something to look forward to....
Tommorow is Measurement Day #4!

Here is the recap as of Feb 18, 06

Measurements
Weight = 429.20
Total Inches = 287.00
Estimated Body Fat = 35.55%
(you can review the rest on the right sidebar.)

Prediction
If I was true to my plan, also listed on the right, I will have lost 2 lbs per week, so I predict to have lost 6 lbs, but would really love it if I lost 10 - 15 lbs.
I don't *feel* like I have lost any inches on my waist, hips, or chest, so I don't predict much inches lost.


see you on Monday....
