Told you I'd be busy

It's almost been a month and I couldn't even find the time to write in this thing? Well I am now and don't be suprised if you don't hear from me until June.

So I've been busy. A lot of changes have been going on with me, in a positive way. I feel like these past few weeks of chaos have instilled a newfound sense of self-confidence. I was thrown into situations I wasn't ready for and feel like I handled them with courage and maturity. What I'm talking about specifically is my boy's first bball tournament, which we should have done better in. I was disappointed, but so were they so I think we're gonna come out in LA with a bit more sense of urgency. Like the playoffs, "win or go home!" Then I did my ride along on with the local fire department in which I saw nothing! We had two calls that were both cancelled. I guess that's a good thing in a medical sense right? Then I did my ER graveyard shift which was totally interesting because I've never done a graveyard shift, let alone, in the ER. It was definitely an experience, and one I will never forget. So with those hurdles accomplished, I feel like I've got my swagger back. Hell I even went shopping this weekend (being that it is my last free weekend) and went with a friend who is trying to help me upgrade or refresh my wardrobe. Whatevers, it was fun! =P. Just need a few more things, but I bet this is gonna turn into an obsession. O well, I could use a little confidence boost... Oh along with confidence boost...

We're heading into week 4 of my work's Biggest Loser competition. I know I'm not gonna win, but competitions always make me work hard. Aside from the big goal of Vegas in August, this competition is over first week of June. I've already lost 7lbs and I don't plan on losing any more. I want to sustain my "bulk", but I want to get a six pack. So far so good. Got a lot of sun (a bit burnt) so I can bring out some of my lines, but its not over yet. One more month, I'm gonna kick it into overdrive and get super cut! I'll post a before and after once the competition is over with. Well that's a quick update with me, nothing really on my head to discuss, just wanted to show my avid followers that I'm still here! Until next time....

Mike, I think you and Karen are both really good role models =) You guys are always doing so much and living life to the fullest I believe. It really reminds me to try to do more with my life. I don't know why just working full time tires me already but I guess that is not a good reason to just be working full time only. I think I should really go back to school too just like you guys both are doing. Hope the next basketball game goes better for you guys; sometimes not doing so well the first time motivates players to have a stronger come back next game. Yeah, I definitely agree that nothing happening is good while with the fire department. ER, I remember the series too, I guess the ER really is a place full of surprises. Shopping alone stresses me out lol so having a friend to go with always helps. Losing a healthy amount of weight and getting fit is always good, something I should start to work on more too. I get tired even after running for the train or bus; my stamina is not that great hehe. Don't forget the protective sunscreen, from experience, sunburns can hurt a lot. You never know until the end; there's a chance you might win the competition. Even if you don't win the competition, I think you will come out of the competition looking a lot better than anybody else who joined the competition. Vegas sounds fun. Gaining more self-confidence from accomplishing our goals and tasks is always a great plus. Thanks for the update, looking forward to your next post =)

Many times we set ourselves up for disappointment. They always say "Hope for the best, expect the worse", which I sometimes find some irony to. Even though we're expecting the best, the disappointment comes as a surprise to us more than less. It's refreshing to know afterwards that there's no way but up from here. Hope you and your little All-Stars killed the next competition :)
