Again, It's Not About Me!

Needless to say, I have been busy.  Our new little addition to the family has made doing the simple, everyday tasks like updating a blog, a little more difficult to schedule into the "ample" free time I have.  Don't get me wrong, I simply am in love with my new little girl and the way my life has changed.  I feel so much more positive energy and it has really made a difference.

Take for example my new clothes.  I spent a few bucks and got some new work clothes so I look a little more professional.  This has alone changed my outlook on my the way I approach my job.  Everything in my life has greater meaning because it's not simply done for myself.  I have both my wife and new baby girl to thank for this.

Moving on, my clothes have helped me feel better at work but I have also changed my eating habits.  This alone has helped me feel better during the day with more energy.  I used to eat so much sodium and foods higher in bad fats, but now I have a reason to cut back and make the necessary changes.  Again, it's not about me.  I can tell now when I have unhealthy foods because I don't feel well later in the day.

Now for a true WOW shocker, I started taking Yoga.  I know what you must be thinking.  It's not that I never thought it was "manly" enough, but I didn't see how I could benefit from it.  Was I mistaken.  I signed up and started with the Flowing Yoga and it made me sweat!  Holy Moly!  I think I am hooked enough to make it a habit and mix it up with Gentle and even try the Hot Bikram Yoga one of the days.  Anyway, I feel really excited and I have two wonderful people to thank for this.

Stretch on!!
