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

All good things, must come to an end!

… or “expiration”, as the case may be! My webhosting comes to expire in the very near future (next two or three weeks?) and I’ve decided to not renew it. I used to use the hosting for my business along with hosting this site but for the couple of hundred dollars it will cost to [...]

A day I’ve been waiting for!

This week I finally had “a” day that I’ve been waiting for… granted, not “THE” day but, “a” day.

This week, I got permission to finally start weapons handling! Initially one may not realise how awesome this is but you must understand, my medical limitations the past year has been pretty crappy. I now however, am [...]

Benchmark: Swim

Finally got the benchmark for the swimming done tonight… I must say, watching movies on my couch sounded like a much better idea but that won’t get me closer to being where I need to be, right?

So, tonight’s swim was 24:45 for 1000 metres (1km).

Considering I haven’t swam in a very long time (other than [...]

“The” Challenge!

Tonight chatting with a friend of mine, we both declared our desire to lose weight — almost the same amount of numbers in the same amount of time. Mine is to lose weight for basic training with the faint hope I can go back. Hers is so she can look hawwwwwwt in a ball gown [...]

And, we’re off!

Today I headed back to the gym — took a few days off since the swim but today was the first day I was in the cardio and weight room in quite a while! The swim a few days ago actually had left me a bit sore in my hip and shoulder for a couple [...]

Feeling good

Had a great swim session today. I’d say my front stroke and breast stroke are about 90% where they should be. My back-stroke is really pathetic, however. I can’t even swim more than 10 meters with that. Fortunately I had a massage right after (not the nice massage but the evil one that hurts however, helps you [...]

My Christmas Miracle

A quick, short entry today. Holidays are here, finally, and I’m quite stoked about it. My last holiday was… well, last Christmas, so this is very needed at the moment and I plan on making the best of the holiday over the next two weeks.

This includes a lot of sleep and going to the gym [...]

Because I am smooth like that…

Walking the other day with my boss, I managed to pull a really groovy dance move called Slip on Ice, D’oh! It was a goodin’, trust me! I managed to fall on my hands and knees (which was brilliantly smooth as far as falls go!) and normally I’d just get up and walk away from [...]

Guest Entry: How a ‘bird bath’ can change your life!

Where do I even begin? What can I say about those three weeks, which were both the longest and shortest three weeks of my life (so far)? I did so many things, some things I can’t even remember, while small little things stick out in my mind. Wake up at [...]

Down, but not out?

Hey folks…

Updates! Firstly, I had surgery last week for my stomach. Had some um, er, um, women issues that were taken care of. One of the things the surgeon fixed was my fallopian tube which evidently, rather than flowing freely in it’s little fallopian tube environment, decided to become a bit of a pest to [...]
