Today is another reflection day for me.  Lately this has been a regular thing.  I've started to think alot about my entire past and where I want to ultimately end up.  That has led me to do more and more reflection lately. 

I've realized that in order to fully realize all my dreams I need to find a way to make a passive income.  I started to read a book called Your Portable Empire:  How to Make Money Anywhere While Doing What You Love and it seems to be just what I need.  At the same time, it launched me into a long journal entry about my future plans.  More on that in a future post.

Today was a measurement day and I was pleasantly surprised by the results that I got.  I did 30 minutes of HIIT today.  It was intense.  I did intervals of 3.5 mph and 8.5 mph with 30 seconds each interval.  I did a 5 minute warm up and 5 minute cool down and 20 intervals.  My heart rate was soaring after about 5 intervals.  I really had to push to make it through the entire workout.

Eating was good today.  It was raining all day, so I made sure to just have my food with me.  That helped me to stay on track for sure.

As mentioned, I spent some time planning in my journal.  I also spent some time reading about bulking and nutrition during that time.  I will spend a little time each day studying bulking nutrition so that I will be ready for my bulking phase in February.

Not much else to report on today.  I am about to head off to bed.
