Note to self*

Do not waste time on those that do not care for you. Do not try to impress those that do not care for you. Do not become desperate for the attention of those that do not care for you.

Everything is changing. This is good for you. You have to move on. You have to learn that, it is only after you have lost it all. All that you once held dear and what you once believed in, will you ever be ready to confront The Truth. And that is… its just life. Things happen. Seasons change. And, so do people. Cherish the moment, live in the moment, and then, move on. 

YOU CAN NOT SPEND YOUR LIFE WISHING TO TURN BACK TIME. That just does not happen. Unless if you happen to know a certain Doctor Brown. Or Doctor Who. (Might need to become a doctor in order to learn how to travel through time)

This is good for you. You have to move on. Remember Milton’s quote “It is far better to rule in hell than to serve in heaven.” So defy the norms and move

This is actually from Thursday, I just haven’t had the time to post it.

I just want to thank the life guard who was nice enough to give me pointers on swimming, as I go to the gym at 5am (earliest it opens) as on one is there, so while I learn to swim, I am not embarrassed about it. It was so nice of the guy to offer to help and actually stick around for almost half an hour giving pointers so that I don’t drown.

Then later on, after my run and hill workout, I realized that my brand new iphone is gone. Luckly one of the waiters found it at the resturant I had gone to from lunch and was holding it for me. The guy could have just sold it for quick cash, but he kept it for me. 

Its so nice to to have faith in humanity, and have it paid back a thousand fold, especially when I am not expecting it. 

I think I have replaced drinking heavly with going to the gym. I don’t know how, or why, but I went to the gym at 5:30am till 7am, then went for a 3.75 mile run outside, and went back to the gym for another hour at 6:30pm.

Its going to be so awesome when I put this in fitocroacy. I need to get past level 17 by Friday. 

*Random note: Do not make eye contact with the 300 lb of all muscle with the handle bar mastash, a foot long pony tail, and the wife beater. That is a dangerously hilarious combination, looking at him will make me laugh, at which point the guy will kick my ass. 

*Random note 2: Next time, take a picture. 

It’s a nightmare to just step in to the pool. I can feel my heart rate start pounding, screaming to get out, run for dry land. But I was in the water today. Even if only for 20 mins, I was at the 4. Ft mark. I tried holding my breath under water and just breathing out slowly. I couldn’t calm my self enough, but I didn’t run out if there. I am going to beat this fear. I am going to learn to swim. The water is my friend. Hell, most of my body is water, so I should feel at home in the pool.

Random note to self, next time, do weights first then the pool. Because by the time I left the gym, my legs were so tired, I didn’t think I could even walk down the stairs. Now, off to work and looking forward to a run with the gang afterwards.

Because people chickened out since we were going to play outside today. No matter, drove 20 miles just so I can get some time in the gym. Felt good. Pushed my self, but not as hard as I think I can. Still getting used to being in a big gym where these guys can bench press two times my body weight without a care.

This means that I didn’t really workout hard enough yesterday.

Me: And everything hurts. I want to sleep in. I want to rest. I deserve it after the work week I had.
Inner voice: stop bitching and man the fuck up!
Me: Alright, alright, I am getting up.
Inner Voice: Yeah! Let’s go feather-weight, you have to go lift heavy things!

( my inner voice is harsh!)

Not this guy. Trail running at 5 am yesterday with the top brass (good idea going to the huge gym near work). I think I just networked with E levels while getting in a mean run. Hello two birds, meet one stone. 

Now its 6:30am and I have decided to play basketball, till noon, and then spend the next 7 hours finishing up my paper that’s due at midnight. 

I wonder what sleep is like.

(plus, small victory for putting up two posts in two days)

Going to step it up and try out a big boy gym. It’s scary and intimidating. But it’s ok.
