Progress By Me

"Oh I'm awful at names, but I'm great with faces."  How many times have you heard or said this? Most of us do. We are all awful at remembering each other's names, and yet, it seems like that shouldn't be the case. Why are we so bad at remembering names? And once you know someone for a while, you learn people's names pretty easily. So why is it so tough for so many of us to keep hold of this vital piece of information?

It does seem like I spend a lot of my time thinking about food, and not in a healthy way. I spend my time thinking about how hungry I am and what I'd rather be eating than what I happen to be doing right at that moment.  

Yesterday, after a hiatus that should never have happened, I got back to the gym, and I lifted. It was awesome, even cathartic. It released some pent up stress that has been growing since I stopped working out. I'm back again. By now I know myself well enough to know that at the moment when I least want to exercise or eat properly, that's the moment I need to exercise most, or eat the best. That's pretty much the crux of it, as difficult as it is for me. At the very moment I am at my lowest is when I need my strength. That's pretty much all of it. Good day!

I'm a stressed out guy. Lately, I've been quite stressed, due mainly to work, and partially also because of recent updates to my life that include but are not limited to house-hunting.

Sure, I'd like to look good with my shirt off, but the truth is, I focus on it way more than it's actually worth to me. I'm realizing more and more that if I want to stay consistent, I need a battery of reasons that I focus on equally. I've spoken in the past about why I began my journey, but I don't think I've ever discussed all of the reasons that keep me going in one place.

In the beginning it was easy. It was fresh, it was new, I was excited about it. The charm has worn off a bit, and now I just want to eat junk food.

Today in Dovid's Crazy World of Self-Betterment, I'm going to be writing the Gold Standard for eczema treatment. Enjoy.

What have I been up to in the two days that I neglected to post here? Well, to be perfectly honest, I've been in a bit of a slump. There's quite a story and I think it's a lesson I've learned well. At least I hope I've learned it. We'll see.

I have a lot of reasons for doing what I do. And I do a lot of things. Most recently, I've been focusing on my health, and trying to make myself healthy. Yesterday was Thanksgiving. I have a lot to be Thankful for. Here are some reasons I do what I do.

Today, here in Cleveland, OH, I was gifted with a white Thanksgiving day, and in that merit, I will take today's post to talk about Thanks, and the things we can be Thankful for.
