I just found out that my new place of employment has a “fitness center”!  That pretty much takes away every single excuse that I have left, that is, unless I want to resort to the pathetic excuses such as “I just painted my nails” or “I can’t exercise after eating, I will get a cramp. ”  Tomorrow I am going to go check out the fitness center, that is my next step in the process, see what wonderful tools of terror they have to offer.  I don’t want to have to loosen up my buttons unless there is a really good reason to do so!

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT…

You have a choice in life, you can either choose to stay where you are at or you can take a risk.  I personally have decided that I am through sitting back and allowing life to pass me by.  I am taking the risks.  I know that I will probably walk into that fitness center and feel a bit intimidated by all of the “hardbodies” that have been going there regularly, I have to keep in mind that 6 months from now, I will be one too.  Take positive risks in life…I say this as I am scanning over the requirements to possibly become a reserve police officer….

Smile more, regret less AND GET OUT THERE AND LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST!

Cheers!

CERTainly

I woke up at 6:00 a.m. and decided that today was the day, I needed to take three FEMA exams to qualify as an official emergency worker and after spending time with fellow CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) members yesterday, I knew it was now or never.  I plowed my way right through the online study guides and slammed out each exam.  It took me 11 hours due to a few computer glitches but I reached my goal and have my Certificates!

It is time to set some new goals and get down and dirty serious about accomplishing them…here they are…

• It is time to quit screwing around and get down to my weight-loss goal.  I keep bouncing up and down like a see-saw and it is time just to stop making excuses about why I can’t get there.  At this time I will have to ask the makers of  Three Olives Bubble Gum and Cake Vodka to halt production while I go dry.  Please pull  this shit off of the shelves for a while, while I dive toward my goal.  My deadline is 6 months from now, my 44th birthday in October.
• Finish out the Citizen’s Police Academy – ends early June.
• Pass my HAM Radio Operator’s test next month…I don’t see this as a problem.
• Become a CERT Captain (I needed my FEMA certificates so, I am on my way).
• Sell my Juke and purchase a new Ford Explorer…yes, if I am going to be an emergency volunteer, I want my ride equipped with a mobile HAM radio and I want room to transport anything I might need to kill zombies if that is what it comes down to.  I think this is usually best if rolling on 20′s as well…just saying.
• Work on not allowing men to hurt my feelings or make me feel like I can’t accomplish something – this is a real hinderance for me and I am determined to adopt a stfu attitude toward this instead of letting it cut to my very soul.
• Catch up on reading your blogs!!!

Wishing you all a great week and much happiness!  Smile more, regret less.

Cheers!
