Remarkable
March 17, 2012
Dictionary.com defines remarkable as “worthy of notice or attention.” Have you been remarkable today?
Sometimes it is hard to be noticed. With so much information flowing into our minds every minute of every day from television to internet to your smart phone, there is a constant barrage of content and information coming at us. How can you stand out? Look within yourself.
Look inside of you and see what you can do today, tomorrow, a week from now to stand out of the crowd and be remarkable. As Dan Miller would say, find your values, dreams, and passions. Take those three things and stand out and be noticed.
Chris LoCurto posted the below video on his blog and I thought it would inspire you. Go ahead, be remarkable.
Day 68
March 12, 2012
Today was day 68 of my three month start. I took the last week off to relax and get rid of some of the soreness that I have gotten from doing this everyday for almost two months. Whew! I restarted today with Red Hot Core and was able to do it so much easier than doing day after day. I am now going to do a Monday – Wednesday – Friday schedule and see how that goes.
I will admit after taking a week off I can tell a huge difference in my body. My muscles are stiff, I am not nearly as flexible and I started getting some stomach pains back that I had before (these were from lack of exercise and one of my motivators to do something – they are telling me to start doing them again). It is going to feel good to recommit and get back into the swing of things.
I only have about two weeks left in this blog series but will do periodic updates when it hits me. I hope you have enjoyed my journey so far and here we go into the final stretch!
Food on the Table
March 11, 2012
Here is a new service I am going to be testing out over the next few weeks that looks like it can make your life a lot easier called Food on the Table.
You sign up for a free account (the link below has a coupon code for a lifetime premium membership for free this month), choose a store from your local area, choose what your family likes to eat, and it helps build a meal plan that includes sales from the weekly circular.
There is also an iPhone and Android app for the service allowing you to take your grocery list with you. If you do not have a smart phone you can print your list from your account and take it with you.
This really looks like a promising service if it continues to grow and be supported. I look forward to trying it out and seeing what sorts of recipes it puts out for my family. We can be a group of picky eaters sometimes.
Click the link below to read more about it and get your code for free membership. Comment below if you have good or bad things to say. As I said I have yet to try it but wanted to get it out there before the coupon code expired.

Make A Decision
March 7, 2012
Have you ever needed to make a decision but felt like you were frozen? I think we have all been in this situation at one time or another. The thing you have to keep in mind is “I have to move forward.” Not moving forward and standing still is when you are left behind.
Imagine crossing the road and right there in the center you see a hundred dollar bill. Coming up the road is a string of cars and they are coming very fast. Now, you freeze trying to decide whether you have time to pick up the money. The lack of decision has caused you to be hit by a car and the rest of the vehicles to be in a massive pileup.
Yes, I know, this is an extreme example but you can fit it into almost anything in your life. What chain of consequences are there if you freeze from any given decision you have to make?
Dan Miller suggests you put a time frame on making a decision. If you need to make a decision today then set a deadline and make it. If it can wait two weeks then mark the date on the calendar and you must have a decision by that date. Two weeks should be plenty of time to make 99% of your decisions and I believe most should be made within a few days.
At any rate, do not let yourself freeze about a decision. Write down what you are deciding on, write down your options, and rank them. Choose which one has to be made or which one is best if you have several options and then keep moving forward.
