Most of you are reading this blog because of the picture I took of the US Airways Flight 1549. I want to thank you for still being interested in what I have to say.

Enough of that let's recap January.

Review of my 5 goals for 2009:

1) Sailing: I haven't done anything to accomplish this goal. I think April will be when I will start to find a place to get some lessons in Sarasota.

2) 500 K in Sales: We are on schedule and I will have to make an amendment; change sales to profit.

3) Keep my weight between 195-205: I am currently 205. I am not doing much weight training everything is cardio or body weight stuff. I am adding couple of sub goals:

• Start and Finish the 100 Push-up Program
• Do the P-90X Ab routine 3 times a week.

4) Write 100 Blog Posts: Getting there. Trying to be better.

5) Have over 1000 followers on Twitter (Accomplished):  Here's a tip on how to do this.

• Take a picture that is seen world wide. (i.e. be in the right place at the right time and post the picture unto TwitPic.)
• Since I have accomplished this goal I want to keep adding interesting, smart, motivated people to interact with.

There you have it. Seems like I'm doing pretty good so far. Let's see how February goes. Oh and here's my 6th and 7th goals for 2009.

6) Meet Richard Branson: If anyone has tips on how I can get this done I'm all ears. He's been one of my business hero's and it would be an incredible experience. Plus, I want to add something that is way out of the box and would seem far fetched at this point.

7) Finish these two courses on Academic Earth: This is a great site that has gotten me very excited about education and its potential on the web.

• Introduction to Copyright Law
• Physics I: Classical Mechanics

1. Sailing
   • I have always wanted to sail. The last 5 years I have living in, land locked places that would not have allowed me to get any real practice. As of now, I will be spending more of my time in Sarasota/Tampa Bay area. This should give me the chance to get some lessons and see if I really want to sail.
2. 500k in sales
   • I think this is a very real goal. We should be able to do this by the 7th or 8th month. Everything is in place for us to do it. Let's see how it goes!
3. Keep my weight between 195-205
   • I am currently 217 pounds. In the next two months I want to get down to 200 lbs. After which I want to keep my weight between 195-205. I will check my weight every two weeks to see how I'm progressing. Also, let you know what is working for me and what is not.
4. Write 100 blog posts
   • One of the reasons that I started this is blog is to improve my writing. Another was to get better at expressing my thoughts on paper. I think this has become more important with the rise of Twitter, and other such services. (More on this on a later post)
5. Have over 1000 followers on Twitter.
   • This goal has no real purpose other that to prove that I can do it. It will make me feel better about myself. I guess it could help me with promoting whatever business I am involved with. I'll post how many followers I have with my weight updates.

These are the 5 goals that I think are the most important currently. I'm sure I will add couple of things later on.

Keep on Truckin'…,

Corey Stenstrup explaining hot-cold transitions. I haven’t found a better way to recover from a hard workout, your body feels amazing afterwards. I’ve tried to do this in a shower but its not nearly as effective.

If you ever need a quick pick me up either from a long day or a long night out, this is they way to do it.
