The First Day 2-20-08
I came up with this idea during lunch because I thought of the biggest barrier to success I had an realized I need to focus all my efforts on overcoming this challenge. I believed that by tracking my progress and failures, I will be able to increase my willpower so that I can build my multi-billion dollar corporation.
Today’s Wins
- Epic Win - I went to lunch with my friend Freddy and his boy Juan. They ate a delicious meal at Delmonico’s and I was able to watch them eat it even though I really wanted to eat lunch with them. Instead, I exercised tremendous discipline to stick to my monthly budget of spending less than $150 on everything (excluding rent and electricity).
- Minor Victory – I was able to not eat the sandwich that I brought because I wasn’t hungry, normally I would eat lunch no matter what. This is a victory because I’m trying to watch my food intake and get in better shape.
Today’s Failures
- Minor Failure – Having a hard time getting ready in the morning due to sluggishness
- Moderate Failure – Went to the bar with a friend and spent $10
- Moderate Failure – I missed the Greendrinks networking event because I went to the bar with my friend
- Epic Fail – Ate a whole pizza for dinner even though I was full after 2/3 of it because it tasted so good.
