2010 was a good year overall.  In reflection, I can summarize 2010 as the year of change, transition and surprises.  With last year in the rear view mirror, I will step into 2011 with an open mind, open heart and a keen sense of awareness.Transformation will be a constant this year with the intent to apply and integrate my new findings with the few parts of me that still remain.<br>Team building, earning and learning are my focus for 2011 with these intelligently designed principals:<br>Gratitude - If all is not clear, be grateful and regain focus.<br>Goals - Set goals and create performance indicators to ensure execution.<br>Growth - Do what you know, learn and grow.<br>Greatness - Raise the bar and be the best at everything.<br>With these simple principals I anticipate a powerful 2011 with friends, family and peers.   Happy new year all!

It was a fantastic day of tasty soups and cabbage!  Korea food is by far my favorite choice of food and after not eating for 14 days, it may have been the best tasting meal I’ve had in over a decade.  I managed to get a nice run in this morning and have begun to drink young coconut water (FUBAR), my favorite drink on the planet plus I started taking my vitamin supplements.

I have done a ton of research on many types of supplements over the last month and will be listing all my new discoveries and describing the results.  The other big initiative is my interest in organic foods.  I will be eating organic at least 50% of the time to see how much of a difference it really makes in my body over time.

We took the training wheels of my son’s bike today and he’s not so sure he likes the whole “balance” thing yet.

Today is the second week of the master cleanse and the final day for me. I feel incredible, lost some weight and saved a bunch of money on car insurance!

I will have my first glass of OJ today and have fantasized about how good it will taste!

Tonight I went to a dodger game in LA and was forced to sneak OJ into the stadium.  Unfortunately, the choices of beverages in a baseball stadium are limited, so i had to smuggle my juice in.  I haven’t been to many baseball games in my lifetime, but I always imagined eating 6 hour old hotdogs and drinking watered down beer; luckily that wasn’t the case.  It turned out to be a great game, I got to see Jenny Finch of the US National women’s team and watch the Dodgers win a game at home.

Today is the second to last day of the Master cleanse for me, I need to get some nutrients into my body and get some fuel into me. I really want to start running and cycling at longer intervals, and I dont want to risk pushing myself too hard without some internal fuel running through my veins. The cleanse has been going perfect, so I dont want to ruin a great experience.

Two weeks on the Master Cleanse is plenty long enough and I’ve achieved my goals and then some.

Physically - I’ve lost over 10 lbs and should gain back around 3-5 lbs once i start eating again, which will be an ideal weight of 170 lbs.

Mentally - I’ve overcome the 10 days as I originally set out to do and given my will power a whole new set of muscles with some accolades.

Spiritually - I’ve achieved new heights of internal strength and wisdom with a greater appreciation for everything.

Day 4 of the master cleanse has finally arrived and I am more excited about today than actually making it to day 10 or more. Day 4 is the actually the threshold and if you can make it through today, you have gotten passed the worst of it.

My overall feeling this morning is good and I slept soundly last night. I just finished a 3 mile run to see how my energy levels were testing….outside of some heavy breathing and sweating profusely…it was all good.

This is a video that is tough to swallow…

Many of my friends have been asking why in the world I am doing the Master cleanse again in less than a year. Is it a ritual, spiritual, narcissistic? The answer is partially yes to all of the above, but mostly because my body now tells me when the toxins in my body have reached critical overload. Lately I am not sleeping soundly, I feel like eating badly or sometimes late at night, my allergies are extreme (over above the time of season) and the list goes on. Now that I am in tune with my body and its functions, it is so much easier to read what my internal organs need; more importantly, what the proactive things I can do before the cup runneth over and I get sick.

Today is day one of the Master Cleanse and I’ve promised some friends and enthusiasts that I would be more clear on what I am doing this time around. Due to the popularity of Video…and because its so much easier, I am video recording the master cleanse starting with Day 1. Please enjoy and remember, I am not a doctor and flush responsibly!

The first month of 2008 is gone and I’m trying to figure out where it went. I am almost positive that the time lord has sped up the time continuum as there seems to be less than 24 hours in a day. I am working at least 12 of the 24 hours every day and while I am loving every minute that I seem to have track of, I am falling behind on the things I enjoy most and lose half of the day on a regular basis.

I’ve already broken my new year’s resolution by not writing everyday, not to mention I have been doing less exercise, not eating the way I want to or keep myself organized (resolution to myself) the way i planned. With all of this in mind, I’ve decided its time to do another master cleanse and reset the system. Its been almost 6 months and I think another cleanse is great way to put things back into perspective.

While I’ve not been great about keeping track of time and letting things slide a little, I have been researching like a maniac. My most recent finds include learning about water, its affects on the body (internally/externally) and the differences between bottled, tapped, filtered, structured and a ton more. I’ll be posting my findings soon.

Shame on me for not writing in over two weeks…I am back on the bike!

The year for me is going to be all about doing the right thing, creating good karma and paying it forward.  Based on the years past and my desire to understand and assess my successes and failures, I’ve paid close attention to my internal cycles.  In fact I have been tracking my cycles for years now and pay very close attention to when things are going smoothly or are seeming difficult; which largely depends on where I am in my cycle.   With that being said, 2008 is the beginning of my upswing  and the meter on the scale is pointing straight up!

It’s earlier than I anticipated, but I’ve decided to join my good friend John this coming weekend to do my first 1/2 marathon since 1988.  I wasnt going to run this far this early in the year, however, my pal is going to do it at a slow pace; I think this will be a good “beginning of the year” motivator to further keep me focused and mentally on edge right from the start of 2008.

I’m also going to run at a slow pace to ensure I dont injure myself and I’m really looking forward to the euphoric feeling of running a good distance.  I’m not keeping track of time or push myself…just complete the race is the goal.

I really have to start blogging earlier in the day to reach the cutoff!

January 1st, 2008

 Well, here it is the 2nd already and I’m making excuses as to why I’m breaking one of my New Year resolutions.  Actually, I’m not really breaking it, I just need to figure out how to set the proper time on my blog to be on Pacific Standard Time instead of EST and I’ll be fine.  The fact is, if I dont post an entry before 9pm, it posts on the following day.  So why am I whining about missing the first day of the year? 

The first resolution I made this year for 2008 is to make an entry into my blog everyday no matter what the circumstances.  This (”no matter what circumstance”) also applies to eating every 2 - 3 hours instead of 2 - 3 meals a day, exercising at least 20 minutes a day (any type) and reading some type of literature at least twice a week; magazines included.  I’m so lazy about reading…I actually have to force myself to pick something up and read it.

 The remainder of my goals this year are specific to how successful I want to become specific to Fatherhood, my Health (exercise and diet) and how much Wealth (liquid cash and investments) I can accumulate in 2008; which I will articulate and post in the next few days. 

To all my family and friends and wish you all the best this year…this is truly going to be the best year for me as I am mentally, physically and spiritually ready for everything the planet has in store.  Stay tuned and thanks for reading!
