Back to the gym

Carla and I have finally started going to the gym again. Woohoo! It's been a while for Carla, and even longer for me. I have worked out for only two weeks in the last three months. Partly due to my foot injury, partly due to traveling, Carla being sick, etc.

Going to the gym on a regular basis has a great effect on our mood and confidence. You feel strong, powerful and more motivated. Exactly the kind of feelings that I need as I start looking for a job.

The push-up counter is increasing rapidly. On Monday, I did 120 push-ups, not all in one shot, but throughout the day, and I can see a big difference in my physique. It has been only two weeks, but my efforts are paying off. I have also found out that after you do 120 push-ups in one day, you should take the next day off. :-) Helps the recovery and prevents a repetitive-strain injury.

According to successful entrepreneur, James Arthur, in his book, Harmonic Wealth, every work experience teaches us something. Often there is considerable groundwork necessary before benefits are reaped and fulfillment achieved -- so value your current conSulting contract$ and your not-for-profit work, Ivan, as an 'Out-there-101' class. And remember what you once told me: "the journey is the most important part."

Are you sure we can't wait two days for sore muscles to recover? (:~( That means I'll have to hop back on my new exercise bike tout de suite!
