Gotta love how consistent I am with blogging. I am sure it keeps peeps on their toes. I think I have this cold that is trying to kill me. It has been like a week. THIS guy wants to get back into the gym. I finally for the first time in 5 years get under 300lbs, and I decide to get sick for a week. Who knew?
So today I spent like 2 hours waiting at Minute Clinic with errbody and their kids because I was sick. Is it weird to feel disappointed when you spend money at the Dr to only find out that how much you spent was not worth the diagnosis? That was me today friends. As I sit here and blog, I am burning on fire, I want to drink a hot totty, but I have to take a drug test tomorrow, so that is not happening. #FAIL........
Tonight I sat and pretended I was interested in the Grammys even though I really wasn't. Twitter hype had to me all stoked, it faded fast though. I have seen Beyonce enough, and was not interested in any Simon Garfunkel covers. Does that mean I am not tuned in? Sure I am, I choose to reap the benefits much later.
I am that guy who never likes to watch shows current. DVR it or wait til it is out on DVD with no commercials. Yup, I am that guy. Night friends.....the bed calls, hopefully I wake up fresh and well. ;)

Worked Out
Today was my first workout in a gym over a month. Being without a gym sucked. I go to www.planetfitness.com
It's real basic. For 10 bux a month I expected it to be spartan, but it is not bad. No free weights tho, but I think I live with machines, cables, and smithies for now. This workout felt REAL GOOD. Felt refreshed, after feeling real sluggish lately. Well I am going to keep it up for awhile, everyday, help me get the mood up. Today I ran a mile in 20.00 minutes. Terrible I know, but that should get better as I start to do this everyday again. I managed to keep my cal intake to 1500 cal, and I am not starving. Back in the saddle baby!!

How do you manage?
Today I am sitting here drinking coffee, on the job search, wondering to myself..........How do I manage all that is going on? A job loss triggers so many different things and emotions. It is kinda like being at the crossroads of life. After doing so many of the same type of jobs in the same field, I feel it is time for me to do something different. It has never resonated so strongly in my life as it has now.
I have heard the line before, when one door close, another one opens. This may be in fact true, but how do you keep the patience for that other door to open? Especially when so many other people are affected by my job loss. It's like damn, I struggle with enough. http://www.fmylife.com/ Makes me feel better about the situation, and I think FML, and I can relate to some of this stuff.
I have FML thoughts alot. So I am looking in CareerBuilder, Monster, Craigslist, StarTribune, but it seems to be the same old jobs. So I have to learn how to do networking, since I have been told this can be a great way to make some good contacts.
Two days until my gym opens up, and I can't wait to get back in. Now I love playing the WII, but that is just not gonna cut it as good solid workouts. Today it is warmer, I may get a run in, I gotta get out.

It has been a helluva week
The last week has been one of the worst weeks ever, I must say. Stress, stress, stress, and more stress. I thought not working would really jump start me to get it crackin. This thing call life has cast a dark cloud over me for a bit. As things start to light up, I am starting to get more motivated to get going again. Going without a gym the past few weeks has totally sucked. I am going to check out Fitness 19 and Planet Fitness tomorrow. Will have to see which one I like better. S
So I have three things to accomplish so far. I need to start training for The Ironman Bike Ride 2010. It is on April 25, 2010. http://ironmanbikeride.org/ I need to train for this. Last year I waited until April to train, and it was tough gettting through the ride. This year I NEED to be in better shape. Got some wonderful pics from last year: Can't find them! Sowwy. Anywho, so the training starts NOW!
Then I entered the The 2010 Body For Life Challenge. 12 week challenge, best transformation wins $25,000. I also entered The MaxFormaton 2010 Challenge. So I am looking to post results.
History has told that I have said within the last year at least 5 times, oh I am gonna do this, and get it together. I get on the groove then I fall off. It is NOT an option this time peeps! I will DO WORK!
