Good days and bad days, but all are busy

          So it's been over a week since I've last posted. Unfortunately the lack of time in my schedule forces me to choose between losing sleep and or posting. Obviously I opt for sleep. School is going well, it's busy but I prefer it that way so my mind doesn't wander. So I should probably fill you in on what's been going on since my last post. So I've been crossfitting everyday and pushing my body to its breaking point on a consistent but healthy basis. I also invested in this cool blender where the blender cup is also a carrying container. It's an awesome yet cheap convenient kitchen appliance that supports my new found healthy life style. So this past Saturday was Rennaissance at Churchill's (which is the bar I work at). Rennaissance is this special event where my bar has rare/discontinued beers on tap for one day a year. Some of beers we sold aren't normally even put into a keg. I worked nine hours and it stayed consistently busy until I got off at 6pm. I really didn't mind working nine hours because I could always use more money :-) This is what it looked like when i got there at 9 am.

At this point in the morning there were 200+ people in line and apparently the first people arrived at 3:40 AM. That sounds a bit excessive for some beer, but then again everyone has their niche and some people might think paying $115 a month to go to a gym is a bit excessive but hey to each their own. So I'm excited for this weekend because I'm going camping! I'm going to the Anza Borrego Springs State Park Friday night and all day Saturday. This is the first time that I've gone camping in a while. It was something that comes up every year and for some reason I never go. Well that won't be an issue this year. Thanks to Ralph and Uli for the needed supplies I didn't have. I started off this year saying that this year is going to be mine. What I meant by that is I'm going to do the things that I want to do and let nothing stand in the way of that. I'm not selfish but I think in 2012 I'm going to be because so far it's gotten me everything I want. I'm doing well in school, I'm accelerating at my crossfit gym, and I'm making time to do things that I always put off, ie horseback riding, camping, and exercising daily. I'm setting goals and surpassing them. Next on the list will be to go find some waterfalls like the Devil's punch bowl. Before I used to not do these types of things because I never had anyone to go with, but now that's not really an issue. I'm not to concerned with who is going or if I'm by myself. I guess I didn't realize I was insecure about certain things. But I'm definitely becoming more comfortable in my own skin and I'm glad that I learned this about myself so I can address the issue and improve upon it.

         

          Oh yea I have about a month left on my nnutrition challenge. I hope I win but if I don't that's ok because it's all about self improvement and I'm proud that I've been consistent about my Paleo diet. Being gluten-free/dairy-free is not something I'm used to but I'm learning to like it. It's also made me improve in other aspects of my life as well. I dont touch Tobacco and I don't drink anymore at all. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with drinking or smoking, but in the fall of 2011 I had a chip on my shoulder and found that going out on the weekends and getting completely drunk was my solution. That wasn't the lifestyle I wanted and needed a change, so far exercising and a proper diet have been my motivation to stay consistent and not be a lush (HAHA "The Schnoz berries taste like Schnoz berries" right Mike W?) Also this year has allowed me to face issues head on. For example I'm comfortable telling you that she's not coming back (my ex), somethings just aren't meant to be and that's ok. It doesn't mean there is a wrong or right person it's just how it is. Does this mean that if by some off chance that I run into her I'm going to act like every thing's cool? Probably not, but if you know me and know the situation can you really blame me? I didn't think so.........There I said it, I feel better (sort of). Well I gotta head to class and hydrate before crossfit tonight. Tonight's workout is going to be rough but that's just the way I like it. See you guys next time and hopefully I have a new exciting story for you since spring break is coming up (Whoop Whoop I love College)!!!  Signed sincerely me....

It's pineapple juice in the photo I promise
