So my last post was a summary of the previous year and a question as to what would be done this year. Well…I’m still not sure.

If anything, I’ve decided that I want to do more and talk less. It’s so easy to watch someone else do something and then brag about it as if I took part in it my self. It’s especially true with tv. I even catch myself getting hyped up about how much weight someone is losing on Biggest Loser, or some adventure that Bear Grylls just went on. The sad part is that for all that time I was just sitting on the couch.

Now…there is something to be said for inspiration and motivation. With the Olympics coming up, this couldn’t be more true. But I’m challenging myself to not just take inspiration and let it fade away, but to consider it and act on it.

So…what have I been doing this year so far? (aside from blogging less…sry). For one, my wife and I started P90X. (btw, this is another one I’ve heard people hype up as a great program only to find out that they haven’t actually done it..but only talked to some other people that did). We’re 4 weeks into it, and yes it is brutal. I’ll keep you more posted on that one later. I also signed up for the Warrior Dash on May 1. I am freakin excited about this one. I haven’t really run since the marathon and am looking forward to a very different kind of race.

Finally, I took on a special project for my wife. A few weeks ago, I got inspired for an idea for valentine’s day and decided to go for it. As an architect, we have a plethora of interior finish samples around the office, so for v-day I basically gave my wife 1296 paint chips. All arranged neatly on a board like this…
