Life...sometimes

I am one pull-up too many...

Man, I'm quite sore today. I think it's so weird that I get sore the day AFTER the day after I work out..with the exception of abs, cuz those are crazy weak for me, he he he. I worked out on Tuesday and knew I wouldn't really be sore until today. Which brings me to quite the dilemna about my workouts for the rest of the week. I may have a chance to workout tonight...and I need to do a leg workout. If I workout tonight, I won't be sore til Sat, which means I can work out some upper body stuff manana and be slightly sore on Sun. Can't work out on Sat cuz I'll be in SD for a bachelor weekend. I have a game on Sunday, but not til 8:30. I can still play when my upper body is a tad sore, cuz I've gotten used to it. However, my legs...i haven't done a leg work out in quite a while, so they might be uber sore. If I can't workout tonight, that means my leg workout will come tomorrow...and then I may be hurtin pretty bad on Sunday. Hmmm, what to do what to do. Man, that was a whole bunch of rambling right there, he he he.

Communication is so very important. I always thought I was a great communicator, but I think my strength lies in listening rather than communicating my own thoughts and feelings. I mean, I can give a 10-20 minute speech about practically anything, but to actually communicate, that's where I struggle. For some reason I get freaked out and scared to voice myself. It's weird. I think I think too much about reaction and after-effects, which make me reluctant to act. But I've learned that the only way to be a better communicator though is through practice. You can't really fake it or prepare for it. Well, maybe, but not effectively. We always need to improve, and this is my challenge.

20 Things I Wish I Had Known When Starting Out in Life con't
6. Fund your retirement, son. And don’t withdraw it.
This piece of wisdom, and probably all the ones above, might seem blisteringly obvious. And they are. Don’t think I didn’t know this when I was 18. I did. I just didn’t pay it serious attention. Retirement was something I could worry about when I was in my 30s. Well, I’m in my 30s now and I wish I could slap that little 18-year-old Leo around a bit. What money I could have invested by now! I had a retirement plan, but on the 3 occasions when I changed jobs, I withdrew that and spent it frivolously.

I didn't jump into it when I was 18, but I did do it when I was about 23 I think. 5 years would've made a momumental difference in the long run though. Even if you can put a little in each month, do it. 25 a month is bringing your own lunch or eating at home 4 times, and that's lowballin it!
