OK SO IT HAS BEEN A FEW DAY SINCE I UPDATED THE BLOG. I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT, BUT LIFE SOMETIMES PUTS THINGS ON THE BACK BURNER.
BUT HERE I AM UPDATING TODAY SO THINGS MUST BE BETTER RIGHT? WELL TIME WILL TELL...
DAY 15 WAS MY DAY OFF AND IT HAPPENED TO BE A FRIDAY. IT WAS A EARLY DISMISSAL FROM SCHOOL SO I PICKED UP MY SON AND NEPHEW AND WE HEADED HOME TO HANG OUT FOR A BIT.
WHEN WE GOT THERE I KNOCKED OUT A KETTLEBELL WORKOUT IN THE GARAGE WITH THEM. THOSE 2 KIDS ARE THE GREATEST WORKOUT PARTNERS ON EARTH, THEY WILL NEVER LET ME MISS A REP! LOL
AFTER THAT MY NEPHEW WENT HOME AND MY WIFE AND I DECIDED THAT WE WOULD ENJOY A FAMILY NIGHT OUT. THAT SOUNDED PERFECT WE HAVEN'T HAD ONE OF THOSE IN SOME TIME.
OFF TO B&J'S PIZZA IT WAS! THE KIDS WOULD BE HAPPY WITH THE PIZZA AND IN ALL HONESTY I WANTED SOME TOO.
WE ORDER A LARGE PIZZA AND SOME HOT WINGS AND DRINKS FOR EVERYONE. I EVEN ENJOYED A VERY INTERESTING DOUBLE CHOCOLATE STOUT BEER. I TOLD MY WIFE THAT YES I AM STILL DOING THE CHALLENGE AND YES I STILL HAVE GOALS, BUT IF WE CANT ENJOY OURSELVES EVERY NOW AND THEN ALONG THE WAY, THEN IT WILL NEVER BE WORTH GETTING THE RESULTS.
NOT SURE SHE FULLY UNDERSTANDS THAT YET....
NEXT DAY I WAS BACK AT THE FIRE STATION WORKING 3 OUT OF THE LAST 4 DAYS HAS REALLY TAKEN A TOLL ON ME, BUT HEY WE CAN REST WHEN WE DIE RIGHT? THAT IS A JOKE AND I TRULY BELIEVE THAT REST IS IMPORTANT TO OUR HEALTH!
I GO THROUGH THE SHIFT FAIRLY EASY, I WAS ACTING CAPT ON THE ENGINE BUT WE DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TOO SERIOUS. WE MADE A HANDFUL OF CALLS, MOSTLY AFTER MID NIGHT (IT WAS SATURDAY NIGHT AFTER ALL!)
THE NEXT DAY I BRING HOME SOME BREAKFAST FOR THE FAMILY MINUS MY SON WHO STAYED THE NIGHT AT HIS COUSINS HOUSE. WE DIDN'T HAVE TOO MUCH SCHEDULED FOR THE DAY OTHER THAN TO RELAX AND ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL EITHER THAT HAS BLOWN IN. I TAKE ADDISON OUTSIDE AND WE PLAY SOCCER FOR A BIT. THE GIRL HAS SOME TALENT MORE THAN HER DADDY DID AT THAT AGE...
AFTER THAT MY SISTER LAW CALLS AND SAYS COME OVER TO WATCH THE FOOTBALL GAMES AND EAT SOME BBQ. SOUNDS LIKE FUN SO WE GET READY. I SAY THAT I THINK I WANT SOME BEER TO TAKE OVER AND JUST RELAX. I AM REMINDED BY MY WIFE THAT I AM IN CHALLENGE. AS IF I HAVE FORGOTTEN....
YOU SEE THIS IS WHERE I STILL FEEL ALITTLE LOST. I AM IN A CHALLENGE AND I HAVE BEEN DOING A PRETTY DECENT JIB AT GETTING MY RESULTS. AS IT SITS RIGHT NOW I AM IN 2ND PLACE IN THE MENS CATEGORY. SO WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING IS WORKING. BUT I HAVE NEVER LOST SIGHT OF OR FORGOTTEN WHAT MY MAIN GOAL IS AND THAT IS 5#S A MONTH UNTIL SEPTEMBER!!
SO YES THERE WILL BE DAYS THAT I WANT PIZZA AND BEER. THERE MAY BE MORNING WHERE I WANT TO ENJOY A BREAKFAST TACO. THERE MAY TIMES WHEN I JUST WANT TO ENJOY A COLD ADULT BEVERAGE AND GOOD COMPANY AND WATCH FOOTBALL.
THIS DOESN'T MEAN I HAVE LOST SIGHT OF MY GOALS. THIS DOESN'T MEAN THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP ON THE CHALLENGE, THIS JUST MEANS I HAVE FIGURED OUT WHAT IT TAKES TO GET ME WHERE I NEED TO BE...
THIS MAY MEAN THAT I HAVE TO PUT IN A LITTLE EXTRA WORK IN THE GYM ONE DAY, OR MAYBE I HAVE TO GO FOR A TAD BIT LONGER RUN THAN USUAL, MAYBE IT MEANS THAT I HAVE TO DECREASE MY CALORIC INTAKE SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD. THE POINT IS I KNOW WHAT IT TAKES IN ORDER FOR ME TO ATTAIN MY RESULTS AND SO DO YOU. IT IS NOT ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT WE KNOW HOW TO DO TO DO IT OR NOT, IT HAS ALWAYS COME DOWN TO EITHER DOING IT OR NOT. AND WHEN WE DON'T DO THE THINGS WE NEED TO REACH OUR GOALS THE RESULTS WILL SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
WE FINISH THE BALL GAMES AT MY SISTER IN LAWS HOUSE AND HEAD HOME. WE ARE STILL BATTLING OUR DAUGHTER WITH SLEEPING IN HER BED AND THIS ALONG WITH HER TERRIBLE 2S TANTRUMS HAS ADDED A LOT OF STRESS TO OUR LIVES RIGHT NOW...
THE NEXT DAY IS DAY 18 AND MY SISTER IN LAW AND MYSELF TAKE THE KIDS TO THE TEXAS STATE AQUARIUM SINCE SCHOOL IS OUT FOR MLK DAY.
WE HAVE A BLAST LOOKING AT THE FISH AND TOUCHING THE STINGRAYS! THE KIDS GET TO HAVE ICE CREAM AND SODAS FOR THEIR SNACK THERE. WE MAKE IT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP WITH OUT HAVING TO TAKE A LOAN OUT, SO THAT WAS GOOD. WE THEN TAKE THEM OVER TO CI CI'S PIZZA FOR LUNCH. WE ALL GRUB ON SALAD AND PIZZA UNTIL WE ARE FULL.
AFTER THAT ADDISON HAS HER COUSIN KINZIE OVER FOR A PLAY DATE FOR A BIT WHILE ALL THE BOYS PLAY AT MY SISTER IN LAW HOUSE. THEY HAS SO MUCH FUN BAKING ME FAKE FOOD AND PLAYING ON THE TRAMPOLINE!
SOON THE SUN WAS GOING DOWN AND ADDISON AND PAYTON WERE BATHED AND FED AND READY FOR BED FOR THEY HAVE SCHOOL THE NEXT DAY. ADDISON ACTUALLY DOES SLEEP IN HER BED THIS TIME, ALTHOUGH SHE DOESN'T GO TO SLEEP RIGHT AWAY. WELL I GUESS WE ARE WINNING ONE SMALL BATTLE AT A TIME HUH...
I REALLY ENJOYED GOING TO THE AQUARIUM WITH THE KIDDOS, EVEN THOUGH THAT WAS THE BUSIEST I HAVE EVER SEEN THAT PLACE. BEFORE WE LEFT THAT MORNING I WAS ABLE TO KNOCK AT A QUICK 20 MINUTE KETTLEBELL WORKOUT OF:
1 DBL CLEAN
2 DBL SEE SAW PRESS
3 DBL FRONT SQUATS
10 2 HANDED SWINGS
SO IN THE PAST FEW DAYS I HAVE FELT LOST! FEELING LIKE WHATEVER I DO WAS NOT RIGHT. BUT WHAT I KEEP TELLING MYSELF IS THAT IT WILL GET BETTER IF I KEEP WORKING AT IT. AND CONTINUE I WILL...
I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT I AM ABLE TO HAVE A DAY OR 2 EVERY NOW AND THEN AND JUST ENJOY THE MOMENTS. THIS MAY MEAN EATING PIZZA OR DRINKING A BEER, BUT IF I DO NOT ENJOY THIS LIFE NOW IT WILL BE TOO LATE WHEN IT IS OVER!!
