Time to make big changes in my life with lots of work to do in a short amount of time! I've never backed down from a challenge and I don't intend on doing so now!

On October 13, 2009 I submitted my application to join the Canadian Armed Forces as a Regular Force member. Basic Military Qualifications (BMQ) is scheduled for end of August, 2010.


Up & Running

Hey y\'all!

Things are going pretty good these days. Slowly getting figured out at work — my new job. It’s a pretty cool job but a steep learning curve. However, my two bosses seem pretty comfortable with giving me the responsibilities. Maybe I just need to have more faith in myself.

It does make me feel good though [...]

Best $110 I ever spent...

I wonder how many entries I can come up with that start out with “The Best $$$ I ever spent…”!!?!?!

However, today I really mean it. Back in January I had originally scheduled a running assessement to be done but the accident pushed that back. When I was finally able to run decently, I developed bronchitis. [...]

T-17, exhausted!

The last couple of days I’ve felt exhausted and… spent. I’m not sure if it’s the weather but I am suspecting I’m coming down with a bit of a cold or something! I’ve just felt off and everything feels like it takes ten times more effort than it should. I’m really paying attention to what [...]

T-19, Like running through water

Today I decided to go for a run. My running is sucking big time and I wished I hadn’t lost all my training days this year and wished I could have taken advantage of those missed workouts right now. But, I can’t ‘oh woe is me’ right now. No time for that shit.

Anyways, I began [...]

TWENTY DAYS LEFT!

Holy crap. I’ll be giving myself an ulcer every time I realise how close I am to what I am going to be doing! It’s exciting and scary all at the same time.

Yikes.

Today I was going to head to the gym and then do a swim when I realise, naaaaaaaah!!

Instead, I’ll be heading up to [...]

T-22, Post Two: massacred arms

After work today I headed over to the mall with my mom. I hate the mall, more than anything. But, there were a few things on my “stuff to get for basic training” that I thought I should like, you know, maybe buy since we have only a few short weeks before I head off?

Um. [...]

T-36, Renewed Optimism

Feeling a bit more centered today and rejuvenated. I had a few instances happen today which made me realise even moreso, how much I need this change in my life and how far I’ve come in the past year… and how incredibly far I’ve come in seven years. Long story (won’t go into it) but [...]

Stoked!

Hey! Changed my plans — instead, I picked up my taxes (getting a refund back that will help take care of the dog while I’m at basic!) and decided it was too nice of a day to have a gym workout. Instead, I got the air pumped into my tires, grabbed the dog and went [...]

T-40, Three big disappointments & a holy crap!

Just a few thingsto go over today — it’s the weekend, I’ve got three weeks of readings to catch up on, start my packing for the big move, a bit of cleaning and finally, get my arse to the gym!

I’ve had three regrets from this summer and hate living a life of regret. The first [...]

T -56, It was a Meh-Day…not to be confused with May Day!

Today I woke up as a normally do however, it was after an abnormal sleep of almost 12 hours! After I got home yesterday, I just felt wiped. I slept on the couch from about 7pm until midnight, and finished the night in my bed. School and homework and work and working out, caught up [...]
