This site is truly a delight for a lawyer - a website all about yourself! What a concept! I could never have gotten anyone to publish the book of my life story, but through the magic of the Internet, I can create the living autobiography of Glenn K. Garnes. I really love the Web! And, the beauty of it is, that if you don't care to read all about me, it's okay, because I didn't pay a fortune to have all this stuff published, and distributed in somebody's books store.
So, feel free to sit back, and stay awhile. I'd love to tell you all about me. I live a very exciting life, and I love for others to experience the burden of hearing about it! I can talk about me forever, and if you stay long enough I will. But, seriously, I also like to share information, thoughts, dreams, ideas, almost everything except communicable diseases, so feel free to contact me if anything you see hear motivates you, pisses you off, or stimulates thought on your part. I'd love to hear from you!
My iPod is not a toy!
I’ve always been one to have the latest and greatest electronic toys available, so when I purchased a 60 Gig iPod I was simply continuing a typical trend for me. By the way, this is a habit I’m trying to break, but in the meantime, I have to say that this purchase was one of the best I’ve made in my history.
My original purpose in purchasing the iPod was to put personal development content on it, so I could stop shuffling around an ever growing caddy of CD’s. Now, I have over 15 Gig of instructional, personal development, and motivational material that I can listen to wherever I go. This has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made. There’s no way I’d listen to all this stuff all day long if I couldn’t have it stored in one convenient place.
Now, I simply plunk it down into a docking station and I can listen to it on the stereo in my office, and when I leave to hit the road I put it into the docking station in the car and I can listen through the car speakers. Of course, when I’m working out I use the earbuds! I have a long flight coming up in May, so I can’t wait to put it to work when I go.
If you’ve been rationalizing such a purchase I strongly recommend it as long as you put content worth listening to on it!
Working Towards Total Wellness
Over the past 2-3 years I had allowed myself to get substantially off track when it came to my fitness and wellness. As I completed the transition to working exclusively from home, it became more sedentary. The refrigerator was more accessible to me, and I stopped making good food choices because of all the junk food we had available in the house.
On December 6, 2005 I decided to change that. We cleared out the cabinets in the house of all the junk food, and I began working on making some lifestyle changes including exercise and a properly balanced nutritional plan. From December 6 through today I have lost a total of 40 pound, but more importantly, my energy level has been incredible during that time, because the program I am following is not a “diet” program, rather it’s a totally balanced nutrition program. Eating the way the body was meant to take in nutrients, and using high quality nutritional supplements to provide what’s not in our regular meals is making a big difference for me. I’m glad I chose to make this commitment at this time. It was easier than I thought it would be.
Now, I don’t feel like such a hipocrate by operating a fitness website and failing to follow my own advice.
I Hate New Year’s Resolutions!
I’m getting started on my so called “New Year’s Resolution” right now, mostly because I hate the idea of waiting until the beginning of a new year to do something important. I think the entire concept creates the excuse most people are looking for not to take action right now.
Think about it. If you know you need to lose weight, and it’s April, are you going to wait until January to do something about it? What happens when you’ve fallen off the horse in February? Are you going to wait until next year to try again.
For me, everyday is a new beginning, and if something is worth doing, it’s worth doing today. So, instead of starting something new in the New Year, try starting a “new year” when you starting something new! But, please don’t use the ability to start anytime you like as the next excuse to never get it done!
P.S. I’ll tell you what the resolution is in a post later this weekend. I’m working on fine tuning it to allow me to really take action on it.
