Day 54 and 55 Recap

A very exciting end to the week with my favourite sports team, The Toronto Raptors, getting back into action. Last night was the home opener and I had tickets to go see the game live.

We had excellent seats centre court and had a perfect view of the entire game. I did not leave my seat once the entire team. It was an excellent game, the crowd was energetic, lots of exciting plays, it went to overtime AND.... the RAPTORS WON!

Thanks to my good friend Mark for inviting me to the game. What an awesome gift!

I live over an hour away from Toronto and we had to meet up early before the game. So I ended up cutting my work day very short. By about 3pm, I had closed my laptop and went into Raptors mode. This meant that I had to get a lot of work done in the morning and early afternoon. I was happy with how much I accomplished.

In terms of my workout, I simply did not have enough time to go to the gym if I wanted to make it to Toronto on time. I did, however, find 20 free minutes in my already busy day to do a great shoulder routine in my basement with free weight dumbbells. It is amazing how much you can accomplish in a short period of time if you have no choice.

It actually reminds me of something I learned when I took Success Coaching with Brian Tracy. He says that "work expands to the amount of time alloted for the task." This is a beautiful truth because I have seen it in action and I have been able to use this idea to increase my productivity in many areas of my life.

So Day 54 was a quick home-gym routine. This meant that I definitely wanted to make sure I got out to the gym today on day 55 (which I did). I went to the gym an hour before closing time. It is my absolute favourite time of the week to workout because I essentially have an entire fitness facility to myself. There were literally 4 people there. 2 staff and 2 other members. I was playing some bball so I had the entire court to myself. I got in a good 45 routine of practice shooting and some running drills. I did not go too hard as I am still letting my knee recover from the tweak I did last week. It is feeling much better now so I am hoping I will be 100% for my Sunday night league tomorrow night.

Aside from fitness, Day 55 was all about spending quality family time with Jessica and Thomas. I played games with Thomas all day and he was his usual hilarious self. Jessica and I were also able to get quite a bit of work done for our healthy chocolate home business. We launched a new version of the website that has much more information.

See you on Day 56
