Well I made a comand decision the other day. I am finally going to quit procrastinating and get ready for the Police Academy. I got most of my paperwork ready for it, now comes the daunting task of getting my butt in shape! I think I'm pretty close to being where I need to be in order to get through it, but I know for a fact that I do need SOME work. I am on this new program that my boss made up where he lost over 100lbs in 8 months! It's so crazy to see him before and after the weight loss, he looks like a completely different person. Anyway, the program is just a green drink (Alfalfa, Wheat Grass, Barley Grass and other green things:P) and then a meal replacement shake thing. The shake is actually dang good, it tastes just like chocolate milk, but it's good for you. Basically the idea behind it all is the green drink neutralizes the sugars in your body and the meal replacement shake is to be drank between meals to keep your metabolism going crazy. I went on the program about a month and a half ago, and in three weeks I lost almost 12lbs. I had good intentions on sticking to it, but my kids got sick, my workout partner (my wonderful wife) got sick then I got sick, so it made it very difficult to go to the gym and eventually it just kinda died off. On a good note though, I don't think I've gained any of the 12lbs back yet, so I'm still doing good.
I figured yesterday and I have about two and a half months to get into shape. Like I said earlier though, I don't have too far to go, so I think it's definately do-able! Who am I kidding, of course it's do-able, I'm freakin awesome! :) I'm definately going to take my favorite phrase and apply it to my new goal and task! It's kinda nerdy, it's from Yoda. But everyone knows that Yoda is a stud, so I guess it's not too nerdy. And if you call Yoda a nerd to his face, he'll probably kick your butt! Anyway....the saying: "Do Or Do Not, There Is No Try!" I think that phrase applies to a lot of different situations in life, but especially when your going up against all odds. I like to achieve things that nobody thinks that you're able to do, then when you do it, you get to say "told you so." You get to say it right to their face, I swear to god you do! (Sheena will know what that is a reference to.)
Anyway, I guess I better go back to work, but I just wanted to start this new thing and keep it up this time. I tried it a while ago, but never had anything to write about, so it kind of died off quickly. This time, I am more motivated then I have ever been and I'm doing it this time! I'm tired of people not believing in me and thinking that I'll never do this. Especially my mother in law, I can't wait to rub this all over in her face when I graduate the academy. I know that sounds like a bad reason for doing it, but that's not the only reason for doing it. In fact that's not even close to the reason that I'm doing this. I'm doing it to make my family better and to make more money for us as well as the insurance. Right now we don't have insurance and so this will be a very good thing.
I'm going to end this now, but now that I have something to write about, I'll keep you all updated.
