Like many people out there the New Year brings a bit of contemplation and a sense that anything is possible. I have made many a RESOLUTION only to forget them or not follow through with them at all. I was listening to a Joe Rogan podcast and his guest was Justin Wren whom as an MMA Fighter I would typically cast into the Savage Meathead category and pay him no mind but what an incredible story and incredible person. I suppose stereotyping is stereotyping but somehow doesn't seem the same when you do it to a white guy, pretty messed up but that's not what I am here to talk about.
I am here to talk about GOALS. noun 1.the result or achievement toward which effort is directed; aim; end. The New Year had me thinking about the difference in Resolutions and Goals and I realized I didn't need a Resolution I already had Goals. In the Podcast Justin spoke of some advice a coach had given him on reaching his goals and that was to WRITE THEM DOWN and Place them somewhere you can see them.
I have a yellow post it note attached to a picture frame of my son in my closet and on it is written:
Learn to Speak Italian
Abs
Call in a Turkey
I only joined Steemit yesterday and it occured to me on my commute this morning that I can use this forum to help me stay accountable to myself in reaching these goals. So like it or not you're on the journey with me. I will do my best to make a Monday-Friday effort (Sorry boss but these are my goals we're talking about) to post on what I have done to help or hinder myself in reaching these goals.
What did I do today?
I started the day with a workout. Although my "Tough" Power Clean was only 135# it was actually a new PR :) SO STRONG! so weak haha Working off the ol Dad Bod to one with visible abdominal muscles is going to be a stretch and the workout isn't the tough part but not stuffing my face will be.
WED JANUARY 04, 2017 WEDNESDAY 1/4/2016
A: Power Clean 15 Mins to build up to a “Tough” - Power Clean X 1

Got showered and off to work. Thanks to Maricopa Country Public Library System I have a borrowed 8CD Pimsleur Italian Language Course. Currently on lesson 6; "Io vorrebe mangare caul cosa ma non adeso" No idea if the spelling is correct but I can work on that too. If you speak Italian and wouldn't mind giving me pointers comment below and I will give you a follow. We are planning to go to Italy in a few years so if you are a native let's get to know each other and if I am in your area I will buy you a beer! <- Bona Fide Contract
I plan to practice my turkey calling on the commute home. If you have never heard a turkey call check this out and you will see why it might drive my Wife and Kids and Dogs and Neighbors Crazy if I did this at home. I will let you know tomorrow how this goes
Turkey Calling and my calling sounds nothing like this ;)
