I've continued to reinforce a positive outlook every day through positive language. I've even started to notice it rubbing off on those around me. What a great bonus!

Nice blog you have and will keep coming back to read more :) i defintely agree with you that low calorie diets or eating behaviours that include not eating for more than 4 hours in a row should be avoided as they will cause a release of cortisol.

Regardless of your level of fitness, you're not likely to have much energy right after. Glycogen stores are depleted, the muscles need to recover and there's probably a big oxygen debt to fill. After an intense training session pretty much everyone has more energy you. Once recovered, people who train would generally have a greater capacity for work than those who do not workout as intensely. As I understand it, the amount of oxygen that is pumped through the body is determined by immediate need. A fitter person will be able to move more O2 than an unfit person and therefore be able to perform more work but when each individual requires the same amount of oxygen, the body will deliver the same amount of oxygen regardless of fitness level. Thanks, Pat Hi Tom,

Pat,

When I say that I have had the good fortune of talking to a few terminally ill people I am being sincere. The conversations were amazing because the people were extremely open and offered me what they felt was the best advice that they could give about living a full and complete life. Their advice is consistent - be good to others while having as much fun as you can because things don't matter, people and relationships do. Something I want to clarify here.

It was great to finally experience and identify my unconscious reaction to feedback. Self-awareness one moment at a time. Heh heh, no kidding!

It borders on ironic that you *asked* him for the feedback, then reacted negatively to it. Almost like daring someone to punch your arm, then calling him an ass when he actually does it. Heh. Nice one Pat.

I think the direct approach you take is what Steve is getting at. I've known you for a long time and you have never failed to address issues head on and with complete commitment. I've wondered if it is because you don't like having open loops in your life or if you never learned to run away from your responsibilities. Regardless of the reason you get a lot accomplished.

If after a few hours you aren't able to discern who the sucker is... it's probably you!" I live my life taking the direct approach to solving problems. It certainly isn't the most popular path... or the path of least resistance. And you don't make a lot of friends taking that approach either. But I'm comfortable with who I am.
