Daily Success for an elderly peregrino is symbolized by this statue

Daily Success October 22 – Very Good.

Daily Success Yesterday

Success yesterday was somewhat across the board. There was a solid Spanish lesson, good exercise, progress on Project Pinecone, even a visit with Dr. Swistak and, hopefully, continued progress on the phantom pain on the surface of my right shoulder. Even some chores got accomplished.

One real enabler of good scores is my general rule that feeling chilled means getting on the stationary bike for ten or twenty minutes to warm up rather than adding clothing. Three such visits a day is enough to account for my calorie minimum without breaking a sweat.

Success Today

Success today should be straightforward, although poker tonight means a shower this afternoon unless I’m chilled a lot today. It also means that discipline is needed to get stretches and core exercises done early rather than wait until “after dinner.”

Success in the Future

Success in the future looks a lot like yesterday: discipline; Spanish; Project Pinecone; and stretches / exercise. Time now wasted is time that can be made to work for me. With some careful effort, YouTube and My Camino Day can return to the cycle, as they must if true success is to be had.
