Cruiser’s Current Thoughts

Or at least I believe it is. 13 out of 13 tests complete, roughly in just under 4 months. Now I just wait for them to tell me what the next step is, or if they’re gonna send me the certification, or what…

Got my brother-in-law’s birthday being celebrated here, so y’all can imagine what this weekend will be like.

But food wise, I’ve been spot on! Tuna sandwiches like crazy, and PB&j’s timed either for breakfast, or soon after a workout, monitoring my PB intake.

If I dont hear from y’all this weekend, I hope everyone has awesome workouts, and have tons of fun.

Rock on

12 out of 13 tests complete. Lowest score was obtained today. 6 hours of studying, was a little rough today.

Now Im off to rock. Hopefully wont fall asleep…

Night, People

And the 3rd to final test has been completed.

11 out of 13 complete. Im so ready for this to be OVER.

Soon…so soon.

10 out of 13 test complete in my fitness & nutrition certification…

Overdue, once again, nothing new there. But it is done. Tomorrow, study all day, test tomorrow night.

That HAS to be done cause I hope to meet some musicians at this new thing going on. Who knows? Maybe I could get a band started.

Night, people

But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. And the light is shinning on my fitness and nutrition certification. So I am THAT much closer to it.

Just finished another examination, leaving me with only 4 more test to complete. I can DEFINITELY complete this before the end of the month, and then start a specific certification on becoming a dietitian.

‘Blinded by the light…tie me UP like a douchebag in the middle of the night…’

Okay, I know those ain’t the words but its funny…

Also, austin took its toll. No working out, and eating out 4 every single meal. 2 reasons.

1-Looking for a place to live was a constant job.

2-Trying to find the good restaurants to eat at and explore the entire austin city limites.

***Now, while I heard about the glorious wonders of the phenomenon known as ‘6th street‘ in Austin, I wasn’t too impressed. Granted, I checked it out on a Sunday night, and not friday or saturday, but still, it was not what I expected.

But one thing did put a smile on my face:

BEAUTIFUL GIRLS!

IM BACK IN TEXAS! WOOHOO! Now I really can’t slack on fitness, cause I gotta try to keep in the best shape possible and look good! So, until Im permenantly down in Texas, the following week for training is as follows:

Tabata Hell Week

SM Squats- 8 sets, 20 seconds lift, 10 seconds rest

Dead lifts/no straps- 5 sets, 12 reps, 1 minute rest
SM Flat Push Press- 8 sets, 20 seconds lift, 10 seconds rest

Clean to overhead press- 5 sets, 15 reps, 30 seconds rest

Pull ups/Chin ups/ Hammer ups- 6 sets, to failure, 30 seconds rest

Farmers Walk- 5 complete rotations around indoor track, 30 seconds rest

One day lift, one day cardio. Working out every day till thursday.

"Then God said, ‘Let there be rock’, and it was so."

8 out of 13 test completed. Studied nearly all day, took the test, and kicked ass.

So at this rate, I may be able to complete the certificate by the end of july, which would totally rock.

I just gotta stay focused on these damn books when I can, and knock out the tests as soon as I can while the info is fresh fresh fresh in my head. Anyway, did good.

So Im off to bed, got an extremely early flight to catch tomorrow. Comin back to Texas for a few days!

Hope everyone has a great 4th of July! Take a moment to remember the men n women doing the protecting cause many of them will have to enjoy the 4th from desert locations, during a gun fight, patroling the neighborhoods, responding to medical emergencies, or fighting fires…

Funny how these are not great pay jobs, isnt it?

Test number 7 has been taken care of. 6 more too go.

Wow, I should have been passed all of this so long ago…Not gonna beat myself up about it. Im picking up and dusting off and moving forward, no time to feel bad or sorry for myself.

Im all sorts of excited cause now I can see that I dont have to spend so little time per night, and just go all out and take the test soon afterwards. Im understanding, learning, and passing. Thats what counts.

And now Im past the halfway point. One more test this friday. I got ALL DAY tomorrow and ALL DAY friday so I have no excuse.

Im lovin’ it!

So many unexpected things have/keep occurring. Im slowly dealing with them, trying to tackle them one by one. I miss the gym, but its almost like I dont have time for it.

I need to sit down and brainstorm situations, and future plans, and now: budget. Pretty soon I wont be getting that sad excuse of a paycheck anymore…but it was a paycheck non the less.

Now Im flying back to texas instead of riding. Its costing me less, after over 2 hours of minor tweeks …well, some major too. My trip is going to be shorten, so I gotta make the best out of those 3 days I will be down there.

BUT, because I wont be down there, I can focus a bit more with the certification and possibly even knock out 2 test before I leave. ONE FOR SURE TONIGHT. But that will solve some problems.

Then, I can build a resume and drop that at some places while Im down there. Need job, I will NOT collect unemployment. I dont care how well its available for me, and how I’ve been putting money into it since I started working a few years back. Let the dead beat son-of-a-bi*ch dad use it, or the lazy f*ckin slob, or the pathetic excuse for a human sh*tbag…

Okay, done with that part. Also, now I have a funeral I want to attend, so that kinda puts another weight on me. What do I do? Little by little. I may hit the gym tomorrow at some time, try to see what my max bench/squat/and BB row are. Then the next day I’ll check my deadlifts, shoulder press, and BB curls. Cardio cardio cardio.

I dont know. Again, one thing at a time. I need to separate what Im taking from what Im keeping as well for when the movers come and take nearly all of my sh*t. Fun times…fun fun fun…

okay, thats whats going on today.

No, not really. It really pissed me off. BUT, I came home, took the test and passed so Im kinda back on track now…

6 out of 13 test complete. Gettin there. So close to being halfway done I can TASTE IT! *licks* mmmmm, taste like sweet sweet victory…

And the weird thing is, about 10 minutes after I tested, I got a ring at my door bell with my new books already. BUT FOR THE 5th MOD! Im barely entering the 4th mod, and still have to complete 2 test here before I move on to the 5th…

Even weirder, this is the 2nd time this has happened. When I finished the 2nd test for my 2nd mod, the door bell rang and there were the books for the 4th mod.

Think they’re tryin to speed me up?…haha!

PT Test: Tomorrow I take my PT test. This is what I want to achieve:

10:00 1 1/2 mile run

60 pushups in 1 minute

55 situps in 1 minute

that is all…Too much to ask for? F*ck it, Im going for it. Im going for the GLORY. Cause in the end, no medal, no award, no piece of paper or documentation will matter, just the knowledge of me kickin ass and achieving that 95%.

My head will be high in the end, regardless of the results. I went from a 93%, to a 92.5%, to a ___%.

What’s it gonna be?

This sh*t has happened! HOLY MOTHER OF F*CKING UNFORTUNATE SH*T.

Last Sunday, I AT LEAST couldn’t test. THIS F*CKING SUNDAY IT DECIDES TO SHUT DOWN ON ME WHEN IM F*CKIN 80% COMPLETE WITH THE GOD DAMN TEST.

Im only slightly upset…not that I can only truly focus with studying on the weekends or anything and its the best time for me to test without disruptions…

Great. Now I wrote down all the answers to what I DID COMPLETE, but I dont know if the order of the questions are going to be the same.

Well, now I know…

If I can’t test before 9 F*CKING P-MOTHERF*CKING-M, then I shouldn’t test at all to prevent this from happening again.

Good F*CKING night.
