….okay, that was pretty gay. Night people!

So far so good, I hate UNPACKING!

Transition was good. I Arrived early saturday morning, after a straight shot from cheyenne. 17 hours on the road, I should NOT have driven that much! But I did, and I made it, and now Im here.

Weekend was with friend from new york since he was in town. Lots of drinking, lots of eating. Needless to say, diet has been beyond sh*t. Soon, I’ll get back on track, but just been busy since sunday after they left. Lots to do, adjust, clean up, unpack, unpack, clean up, unpack, unpack, unpack…

Yeah, thats mostly what I’ve been doing. For a single guy that was in a one bedroom apartment, I HAVE A LOT OF SH*T.

But as far as training goes, I brief workouts to get my heart rate up. SOMETHING, at minimum.

I missed a lot, thanks for the comments on the previous blog. Still wish everyone the best.

FEELS GOOD TO BE FREE!

Last time I gotta get into this monkey suit and ‘baa’ like a sheep for them. Next post is coming from Austin, Texas; a free man.

Best of luck to everyone and their goals!

Pretty exciting day for me today, if ya can’t tell…

So I had my ‘walk through’ of my place today. Now I have to add one more thing to the agenda before I get the hell outta here.

I know Im the first one to move into this place since it got remodeled. But after someone occupies it, it ain’t ‘new’ anymore. No matter how much you clean a place.

I assumed a walk through was them telling me what had to be cleaned, what needs to be done. I had no intentions of completing numerous cleaning tasks since Im still here till tomorrow!

Whatever. New task is to get this place as ’spotless’ as possible…which I know is not possible at all.

Just a little annoyed. Not like I dont have other things to take care of.

JUST-GET-ME-THE-F*CK-OUT-OF-HERE.

Okay. Reality check. No gym for the next couple of days. I just can’t make it. Exercise? If I can squeeze in 10-15-20 minutes, why not. But Im not going to stop in the middle of a road trip to do this. Nor in the final steps of getting the f*ck out. Possible during the unpacking phase once Im down in Texas.

But then the next step comes: Finding a new home

And by home I mean gym.

While I do enjoy the variety big name corperations have to offer, I do very well love the unknown small town gyms. Less crowds, same results. Price’s are always nice too. But then of course Im looking to WORK in a gym, so I may have to factor that in when looking for a gym. No sense looking for a gym to work at and then a gym to workOUT at.

Damn. This is more than I thought!

One thing at a time…one thing at a time…

Concentrate on the ‘now’ factor.

Finish outprocessing. Fix van. Final Out with military. Drive home. Get home.

Those are the goals for the next 3 days.

And not in a good way…

These past 2 1/2 weeks have been rather…unefficient as far as nutrition and exercise goes. Don’t get me wrong, I still hit the gym for at least an hour for weight training or minimum 30 minutes of cardio for non weight training days…but it hasn’t been a consistency. Especially last week. NO sort of training what so ever and diet was…lets just say I ate out a lot.

But then the movers, not only did they take my BED, but all my pots and pans! I can’t cook a decent meal. I kept my rice cooker…only to realize they took the lid too. DAMNIT!, I can’t win! HAHA, but I do what I can. I bought a lot of fruit so I would rather just eat a bananer instead of hopin on my bike and going somewhere…but the bike ride always sounds a lot better anyway.

So, Fat Attack. Thats what me and a friend of mine call going out and eating till it hurts. And I just had one today. Delish! like all hell, but damn, somewhere between 1000-1500 calories is what we consumed. So pretty much, water and fruit is all Im eating for the rest of the day. And possibly tomorrow too.

Do I feel guilty? Sorta, kinda, no. This is the last time I get to hang out with the few friends I have here and want to have a good time doing whatever with them. Most of the time it’s either eating or drinking. So I do. Again, Im not gonna see some of these people either for a long time, or possibly never again.

Have you eve known the exact moment your ever gonna see someone for the very last time? I’ve caught this moment TONS of times since I’ve been in the military. Overseas, deployments, training camps…it sucks each and every time. But I know in the back of my head that Im never gonna run into them for the rest of my life. Then there are those that mean so much that I will MAKE the effort, or know they’ll make the effort, to meet again down the road.

Well, I’ve been going through both senarios for the past month now. Those I’ll never see, and those I wont see for a long time. Its hard, it sucks, but it is what it is. Time for me to move on, and same with them.

3 nights left here in good ‘ol cheyenne (chuckles) and probably the last 2 nights will involve some sort of food fest and delicious alcoholic beverages. Exercies will continue, mostly whole body movements to engage more muscle fibers all around.

I understand that this wont protect me from this sh*tty diet, but at least be a sort of barrier. haha.

So that is that. Clean all day today. Work on van tonight. Finish cleaning tonight. Out Process fully tomorrow, last time with Special Friends, then who knows that night. Thursday is…I dont know yet. Anything else I have left. I guess pack my van so I can take off friday morning…

Part of me is sad

other part is THRILLED! :)

Can you do this?

The last criss-cross have me rollin!

The true Drunken Monkeys! And a woman locks herself inside her car…

I have no life…

RFID-Radio Frequency Identification

If I can steal at LEAST 2 minutes from your life…

Read the first 8 paragraphs, at LEAST:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090712/ap_on_re_us/us_chipping_america_iv

Of all the videos, at LEAST watch the very last one. Only 50 seconds long…

For whatever reason, I keep running into this without looking for it. This stuff gets WAY too disturbing the more I discover, but hey, what can I do right now? Shoot, I’ll atempt to spread the word at LEAST.

Plastic coffins. Lots of them. LOTS of them. For what?

Wake up.

Todays workout was literally a FULL BODY workout.

Legs, core, arms, shoulders, back

…vocals?

Yeah, a little sore from yesterday, so I wanted to do a light cardio. Jumproping was desired, but settled for a walk in the park.

…with my guitar…

…singing…

Talk about a challenge when I was trying to breathe and sing! But it was fun. I love playin, I love working out. Now I can do both at the same time!

keep it interesting…
