So today was kind of a drag, as far as exercise goes. I didn't bother going on my walk at all because it's just way too muddy out there! Sure don't want a repeat of yesterday morning. Ugh, I hate slipping and sliding! It's fun if I'm in my truck, but when it's under my feet, No Way Man, I hate that! Reeeeally aggravating!!
Anyway, my day was busy anyway. We went to the casino this morning and stayed there until about 2pm. Won some, lost some. Honestly, I'm really pissed that I went over there! I am so so so so so so so pissed off at myself for going over there! I lost about $30 there and that is thirty dollars I could have used for other things. Makes me so mad!
Lisa went to work after and I went up town and spent more money :( I had to buy more wood pellets and another bag of dog food. I hate going shopping on a Saturday, especially at Sams Club. Omgosh there were soooo many ppl there. Fortunately for me, this nice lady who was in front of me in line, let me go ahead of her. Good thing too because she had two carts full of groceries. I just had a 55 pound bag of dog food and that was it. Anyway, afterwards I went to Home Depot and got my wood pellets. The cashier girl seemed kinda bitchy and I hate lousy workers like that!
The rest of my night was pretty mellow. Just cleaned up my place, fed my animals. I'm so happy that my dogs will have food now. I don't gotta worry about them for a while. Plenty of food and we got most our bills paid, so things are good. I'm sure we gotta get groceries tomorrow, or sometime soon. Lees and I are planning to cruise up to Walmart after she gets home. Got some things I need to pick up. Well tomorrow, I don't care, it's back to exercising! Lots to do and some real sweat to dig up ;} So, until then, Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Seventy Seven
IT SNOWED LAST NIGHT!!!!
Dang, it was really coming down this morning still. The last time it snowed, back on December 26, 2014. Yup, now again today! Well actually it snows all around this area. Down south by Albuquerque and Santa Fe, then up by La Plata, Durango, and over to the east even like Aztec and Bloomfield. But right here in my town, NOTHING! I swear, we get no snow at all. It snows everywhere else, but here! That is just so bizarre. Anyway, still I got out there this morning once Lisa got up. It was not very cold outside, just cloudy and snowing really hard. We went out and did 3 miles. Well, I guess I should say "attempted" to do 3 miles. We probably only made it out about a lil over a mile total, then we turned around and came home. THE ROADS WERE TOO DAMN SLIPPERY, MUDDY, AND SLUSHY!!! Dang, it was so aggravating! I slipped about a dozen times and hurt my knee in the process. The snow is thick, therefore it's just getting slushy and melting. There is slush all over the dirt road where we walk because the work trucks are driving down there. We saw our buddy, Big Gene, down there. He gave us some water, which he always does. We hadn't seen him since earlier this month, I believe, or it may have been last month. Anyway, the roads were just way too bad and my knee was starting to throb after those few slips I had, so we just turned around and came home. Cody and Cooper loved it though. Of course, they would love anything! But yeah, we came home then just got ready and headed back to town. Today was Bills day!
The great thing about today, we got all of our stuff handled! It was Awesome!! I was very surprised and very happy. I got a bill paid off that was racking up late fees. We're really getting caught up from our Christmas sacrifices. Still have a few more, but we're getting there. So today was a good day! We went to Walmart and got some chow. I'm really trying to be smart with the money this time. Usually we blow money, but not this time.
Oh my gosh, so on Thursday night I bought this movie called 'No Good Deed'. I bought it because everyone said it was good and I had been wanting to see it for a while, since I first saw the preview. Well, it was a typical cat and mouse movie. I hated it! The woman was really stupid. I wish wish wish I just rented the damn movie instead of spending $19 on it! Then, yesterday I bought the movie 'FURY'. Oh man, the first half of the movie was interesting. It really was! I bought that movie because my dad said it was really great! So great that he had to watch it a couple of times in theaters. So I banked on that fact and trusted everyone. Well, I watched it and like I said, the first half of the movie was good. The rest of it was awful!!! I hated it!!! I hated how rude those guys were and how freakin careless everyone was. Then, they go up against impossible odds and they all die! Then at the end, no one seems to care. They just walk on by like it's nothing, then the movie is over. That was so very disappointing! I should have just rented that one as well, rather than spend $19 on it too. So basically, I just flushed $40 down the toilet. I was so mad! Big mistake!!! I am Never going to buy a movie again unless I've already seen it and I know it's good.
So that was my day. Now, i'm just going to relax. Thinkin I'll go to bed early because I am so very tired. I woke up too early and was outside playing with my animals in the snow. That was really fun. Cody loves the snow. So all in all, today was a very Awesome Day! Till tomorrow, Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Seventy Six
We got up kinda late today, but we did 3 miles, me and Lisa. She almost didn't do it today because she had to go to class. She has class today, then right after she goes to work until 11:30 tonight. That was the dilemma we had. We did walk, however. We made it a really fast walk too, oh man my legs were burning so bad. By the time we got home, I was limping lol. Crazy! I didn't have it in me to really do any jump roping today. I was way to beat in the legs to do that.
When we got home, Lisa cooked some breakfast, then she headed to class. It sux because on Thursdays she's gone all day practically. It's booooring being here by myself. I usually just go outside with my dogs and cats, or do some work around the place. Good to keep busy! I can't wait until I go back to work, but I need to get my weight down more. Still a ways to go! I don't want to go back to work until I don't have to worry about myself anymore. That's the whole point of Fyrescape.
Well, I have the place nice and clean now. I'm going to just relax and kick back for a while, rest up my knee because it's really aching tonight. It's getting pretty cloudy out there right now, and it almost seems not too cold, which usually means....snow ;} Maybe, we shall see! Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Seventy Five
Did my 3 miles this morning. Oh man, my legs were burning afterwards! I have really been walking fast and getting a good strong pace in there. I'm breathing heavily and sweatin hard. I can't say this enough, but I have not felt this kind of workout feeling in a while! I think last summer was the last time I really felt it. Once fall came around, I really slacked off because of how much work I had with the church. I was so preoccupied with that, that I let my workouts slack and my drive really slacked. I was out there walking, yeah, but I wasn't pushing myself like I did during the summer. That was where my mistake was. I need to push and push, then push some more, longer and harder! If you don't do that, it honestly doesn't matter how much you do, you won't really be getting anywhere. You'll more of less just stay in the same spot because your body is working to get higher and better. Staying afloat is the better phrase.
There is really not much else to say about today. Lisa and I had planned to go see a movie, but instead we got some food since we were short on that this week. Can't wait until Friday, when we'll have money, but I am worried about the bills. We're still tryna get caught up on everything from Christmas. We sacrificed lots of bills for then, but now we're paying for it and trying to get caught up on everything. Lots to do, but we'll get it ;}
Ok, that is all. My legs have been wobbly today. Pretty soon, I'll have hulk legs with the way i'm walking and jump roping everyday ;) So cool! Ok, until tomorrow, Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Seventy Four
I woke up really late today! Oh my gosh I was so tired. Last night I couldn't sleep. I mean, I did sleep but not for very long. Lees and I fell asleep in the living room..oh funny story hahaha So we were watching some movie and it ended while we were sleeping. Then, I guess some dirty movie came on during that time because I was watching HBO or one of those movie channels. I woke up about 3 in the morning to sex sounds. I lifted my head up and there were these two ppl really going at it, making sounds and everything. I'm trying to wake up wondering what the hell is going on! I look over and see Lisa laying on the other couch and I'm like, WTFudge lol. I grab the remote and change the channel real quick. Then I turn off the tv and wake Lisa up. After that I finally went to bed. Lisa went to her room half asleep. I tried asking her if she saw what was on lol. She said no, but I think she definitely heard it. She apparently had "bad" dreams hahahaha. Crazy!!
Anyway, so this morning early about 5am, I woke up after only 2 hrs of sleep, to the sound of my cat fighting outside and banging up against my place just below my window. Dammit! So I get up, stagger out of my room and I pick up my 22 rifle and run outside like a damn hobo. Of course, that freakin white cat that keeps coming around here is long gone. I go searching for it. I'm out there for about 30 mins searching but I didn't find it. So I went back to bed after making sure my cats were ok. I go to bed, wake up 2 hrs later and I just couldn't get out of bed. I couldn't sleep either because I cannot sleep during the day. If I do, I get a really bad headache and after that crazy headache I had the other day, no way man! So I layed there for a long time. Eventually I did get up. Lisa almost didn't want to go walking, but I am not putting it off especially since my rest day was yesterday. So we went out and did 3 miles. It was Awesome! I walked it really strong again. My chins were really acting up again. I've been pushing myself in my workouts these last few days that now my legs are getting really sore. I haven't felt this way in a long time, meaning I haven't been really pushing myself in months, even though I've been walking. During my walks, I know that they haven't been strong, fast walks. I'm just basically strolling. Well not any more dammit! I'm going to push myself from here on out. I've got about 3 months and a few days left in my Fyrescape so I'm going to try and get the most out of it all!
After the walk, my right leg was really hurting. Lisa had to hurry and shower then go to school so we didn't do anymore after that. My right leg has been hurting all day. Not really aching, but hurting, like I twisted it really bad or something. So I took it easy the rest of the day. Just cleaned up the place really good, then when Lisa got back from school this evening, we went up town and got some things, then came home. Right now, I'm going to just enjoy the evening. I'm pretty tired right now. I think I'll go to bed early tonight. I am beat! So until tomorrow, Goodnight ;}

Day Two Hundred Seventy Three - REST DAY
Ok, today both Lees and I took a Rest Day! It was definitely much needed too. I was tired this morning. We woke up and went down to Grandpa's to pick up the trailer which was loaded down with trash. Then we came back home and loaded up all my trash and I had lots of it around here. I cleaned out my shed the other day and for the past two months, it's been just sitting over there in the way. Now, today I finally got rid of it all. My yard is lookin pretty clean now. Just need to cut some of these dried up weeds and rake it all up, then it be lookin NICE ;}
So that's all we did today. That took all morning though. We didn't get done until about 12:30 this afternoon. Then we took Grandpa's trailer back and we went up town and I bought us some lunch because we were sooo hungry. We didn't eat anything at all today! I was starving bad, so was Lees. We got food then came home and ate. Lisa went to work and I spend the rest of my day cleaning my place and organizing some stuff outside. I moved a lot of things around and cleaned up out there.
All in all, it was a really productive day. A Rest Day well spent. I remained active all day. Dang my leg is kinda aching this evening. I must've overworked it yesterday, then along with the work I did today, I really overworked it. Ugh, I hate this. Well, I'm going to rest it up the evening and hopefully I should be Ready To Roll tomorrow morning ;} So, until tomorrow! Goodnight ;}

Day Two Hundred Seventy Two
Up early this morning, got ready and did 3 miles. Oh my gosh my legs were so tired though. I walked fast and about half way down, my legs were burning. I really pushed it hard yesterday. I still kept at it though. It feels good to be this tired. Makes me feel like I'm really getting somewhere! Lisa came with me again. She was really sore from yesterday. After we got back, we hit the jump ropes again. Lisa didn't want to, but I convinced her to. I know we both got to push ourselves hard if we want the results. After the jump rope, we hit the weights. I did 20 dead lifts and 5 full curls. That was Awesome! I can lift it so much easier now. Lisa did 2 sets of 10 dead lifts. She's getting strong too. I did a few more jump roping after the weights. When we were done, my legs were really burning. I drank water today, but didn't finish my gallon.
I got a bad headache this morning and it lasted all day! I still can feel it slightly right now as I'm writing this. I don't know why or how it go so bad. Dang, it was aching really bad this afternoon. I watched an Awesome movie called, Divergent. Yup, I just now watched it, even though it's been out about a year now. Such a great movie! I would've enjoyed it more if my damn head wasn't aching. Lisa was really excited that I finally watched it. She's been into that movie but I, at first, didn't find it interesting. Yesterday though I saw this scene where they were gliding across buildings on a rope and it was at night with this Awesome music playing. That hooked me, so I recorded it. Very great movie! I was really satisfied with it and now I can't wait to watch the second one, Insurgent, which comes out in theaters in March, I believe. Still a ways away, but that'll be good.
This evening I went over to my mom and dad's place. Surprisingly, my mom was acting pretty normal. That was nice! I didn't feel as much tension. My dad was in a great mood. I walked in, shook hands with dad, grandpa, and grandma. I was in agony because of my headache. Dad gave me some migraine medicine and some water. I took that and after about 30 mins, my head finally felt better. Still feel it, but it's not painful. Just light pressure. That's what I'm feeling now. Anyway, we watched the wwe royal rumble. IT SUCKED!!!! I hate wwe!!!! I do not care for them at all. The only wrestlers I enjoy watching is, wwe diva Paige, wrestlers Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, and anytime The Rock comes around. I hate John Cena. I used to be a huge fan of that guy, until I found out that he's an asshole. He uses women. He banged my favorite diva at the time, Mickie James, then when he was done with her, he had her sent over to Smackdown and had the wwe do some really shit storyline on her to where they insulted her really bad and called her "piggy" james. Eventually she got fired because Cena didn't want her around anymore. I also heard that he holds the younger guys down. He's got the wwe wrapped around his damn finger. He won't let anyone get more popular than him. That's why he's always in the damn main event at every freakin pay per view. It's so stupid! Ppl are so damn tired of him now, it's pathedic how they keep him in the top spot. He's the death of the wwe, but hey I don't care. I am a true hardcore TNA IMPACTwrestling fan!! Once the wwe goes under, we'll be the top spot in the world! I'm waiting for that day to come ;} Anyway, I hate the wwe universe, which is all the stupid fans of the wwe. They booed Everyone I was rooting for and they cheered all the crap! They seem to finally be tired of Cena though, but they booed the hell out of Roman Reigns when he won the Royal Rumble. That was stupid! I wish Reigns would come to TNA.
Well anyway, that's the scoop of my day. Tomorrow I think we're gonna take a rest day from walking. I'll probably get my jump roping in and weights, or I'll do DDPyoga. But tomorrow I have to haul off lots of trash. My grandpa asked me to haul off his trash so I'll be doing that all morning tomorrow. That usually takes a couple hours. So if Lisa is going to help me, we need to put off the walk since she's gotta go to work at 3pm. Ok well that's about all I've got for now. I'm going to go relax and rest my head. I fear my head is gonna start up again if I don't get off this computer. Until tomorrow ;} Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Seventy One
Today was AWESOME!! I did 3 miles this morning and I walked it strong. It was a great walk! I almost finished my gallon of water, damn I wish I did! Would've been perfect today. After the walk, we pulled out the jump ropes. My knee was feeling really good and not hurting at all. I messed up on the first few tries. I only hit about 10, then 9, then 10, then 10 again. Something like that! After that, I stopped and went to the weights. Last time I did it, I did 10 deadlifts. Lisa only did 5. She did 10 this time. Then I got on there and I did 20 :D Woohoo!!! I did some curls, which is much easier than the last time I did it. I did solid curls this time. I have a lot of weight on my bar too. It was really good. My legs were burning. I took a minute rest, then I hit the jump rope again. This time, I hit a straight 36 times non stop! Finally I got past 10 lol. I felt really good but oh man after I was done with that, I was breathing really heavily and I was so very tired! My legs were like jello and I was exhausted. I have never been that tired, ever before! I really pushed myself hard. I just can't believe it. All this time, I haven't done this kind of workout. I would just do my 3 miles and that's it. Even the walk, I'm noticing now that I'm really pushing it and walking fast. Before, it was more like a stroll. So that's one thing that can happen. You really need to watch yourself when you exercise for a long period of time. After a while, you're body will get used to it and you'll end up taking it slow and not really getting anything out of it, but in your mind you think, since you've been doing it so long, that you're still killing it out there and pushing yourself hard. Not true! You need to really watch yourself and make sure that you do more everyday and always push hard. Don't stroll when you walk, do power walking. Basically a step down from actually running. That's how you need to walk.
The rest of the day I felt Awesome! Oh my gosh, my legs were aching so bad though. My knee, however, was not hurting at all, but both legs were aching. My left leg was aching all day long, up until this evening and right now, I can still feel it. Crazy! I'm not sore though ;} Last time I did this a few days back, I was super sore by the end of the day and the next day I was really bad. Nope, not this time. My body just felt tired afterwards and the aching legs, but I am not sore. You know what that is? Progress ;}
Ok that's all for today. I got everything done early tonight. Fed my animals, cleaned up the place, cleaned my pellet stove, put some stuff away in the storage, emptied the trash, cleaned out my vacuum cleaner. Tomorrow we're watching wrestling at my dad's. Just hope things go smoothly. I swear I can still feel tension between my mom and I. Seriously, I don't know what the hell happened and why she's so damn different now. It's like I really pissed on her world or something. She is just not the same anymore. That is so very strange!
Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Seventy
Woke up this morning and right away did my 3 miles. Lisa came with me again! She's been really hitting that walk with me every morning. I'm so proud of her. I hope she keeps it up always. Since she's only taking one class this semester, she's got so much time on her hands and she's using that to get back into shape.
So after the 3 miles, we pulled out the jump ropes. Today I really sucked at it though. I kept messing up big time. I could only hit about 10 before the rope caught my foot. I tried and tried. Lisa hit over 50 right off and went on to do 100. Me I could not get past 10 without stopping because the damn rope kept hitting my foot. I don't know how or why. Anyway, after a few tries my right knee started to hurt. Pisses me off, I hate when that happens. My knee was really bothering me so I decided to stop. I have to be so damn careful with my knee otherwise it starts acting up like crazy for days. I didn't even get to lift any weights and that really bothered me all day.
I'm drinking water. I still haven't been able to finish the whole gallon but I'll get there! I'm really going to try and down a gallon a day within a month. It's hard! I can see why so many fitness ppl out there add flavoring to their water. I need to do that, find some kind of flavoring. That was my problem. I drank so much water and I love it, but because there's no taste it really gets old after a while, then soon you wanna have a diet soda or some juice, then when you drink that, you're no longer thirsty for water. It's complicated and crazy! I'll need to work on that.
Well not much to report the rest of my day. Just another typical day of getting by. I'm really pissed that I didn't do much after my 3 miles this morning. I want to hit the weights and jump ropes hard daily. Eventually I'm going to start DDPyoga too. I'm just trying to get my body used to weights and jump rope. That is really building up my wind. Ok, until tomorrow, Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Sixty Nine
Today was kind of a rest day, but not a typical rest day! Instead, I did my 3 miles this morning with Lisa, but that was all we did. No jump rope or weights. We were way too sore for that. Yesterday really kicked our butts. This morning I was still sore, but it's a great feeling! So today, only the 3 miles and I walked it pretty fast. I'm never going to let myself slack again.
The rest of the day was pretty mellow. Lisa went back to work. Yesterday was so fun especially the dinner last night. We just had leftovers for lunch. Crazy thing though, all the food we bought was pretty much gone. They took everything. There was only a little bit left over, which we ate at lunch, then everything was gone. Dang, I didn't realize that! We bought so much food for everyone. Now, it's all gone lol. Oh well, that's was the plan. It was very fun!
This evening I took my grandpa's chairs back over to his place. He was really wanting to watch wrestling this weekend, so I'm going to plan that out so he can watch it. This Sunday, we'll be watching that crap wwe ugh! I really don't care for the wwe but grandpa loves it and whatever grandpa loves, I'll do my best to get it for him. So that's the plan. Well, that's about all for now. Time to just hang out and relax the rest of the night. Until tomorrow ;} Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Sixty Eight - Fyre's Christmas Dinner
Once again, this morning we killed it bad! Woke up, got ready and headed out again. Lisa was so very sore today lol. She kept falling behind on our walk. Did 3 miles once again and once again I pushed myself and did some power walking. I was sore as heck too. My legs were not too bad, but my abs were really sore, so was my arms and my entire upper torso. Really bad, it was, but I didn't care. I kept at it and I really got Lisa to push herself.
When we got back home, we hit the jump ropes again. Lisa right off, did 50 jumps. I'm so proud of her. She was sore but she really pushed herself. I did the same, but I couldn't hit 50 without stopping like this did. For me, the rope kept getting caught on my foot. Either I wasn't jumping high enough, or I wasn't swinging the rope fast enough. Yesterday I did it pretty good, but today I was off key. After the jump ropes, we hit the weights again. I was too sore to do the bench presses so we both just did the dead lifts and I did a few curls. Afterwards, I did more jump rope. Oh my gosh I can't begin to describe how tired I was when I was done. My body was so worn out! I mean worn out big time!!! My legs were so tired, so were my arms and my abs were so sore it was not funny. I had a heck of a time just trying to walk up the stairs. Crazy crazy!! I love it though. I couldn't believe how bad I was NOT pushing myself, compared to both yesterday and today. I can't wait to start hitting the DDPyoga. I wanna get really hardcore into that. Right now I'm starting my body off. I've a long way to go because this soreness really has to stop. I wanna just feel tired and not sore. Still, I'm going to do all of this. Tomorrow, I think we're just going to walk. By late afternoon, we were both so damn tired and sore, I decided tomorrow I don't think I can do the jump rope and all. I'm just going to do a strong power walk, then the rest of the day, we'll see what happens.
Well today was my late Christmas Dinner! Rather than cook a huge meal, I wanted to shorten the work on Lisa so instead I came up with the idea to have a variety of food for everyone! So we went up town this evening and I got a big family Captain D's dinner, as well as a family dinner at Churches Chicken, then we got two pizza's a Little Ceasars, and we bought some salad at Walmart, as well as some gift treats for everyone. I bought everyone a movie, except my mom. I didn't know what movie she would like so we got her a little neat calendar thing that had bible verses in there. It was really nice! We also bought some diet soda for drinks. Lisa also made coffee. I even got soup for my grandma since right now she can't eat solid foods because she had her teeth pulled a couple weeks ago. So I got something for everyone! That was what I wanted to do, since I didn't get anyone any Christmas presents last year. I felt so bad, but I did give everyone a card and told them to come to my place for dinner on January 21st @ 5:30pm.
The dinner was fantastic!!!! It was so very fun!!! I prayed before we ate and Lisa said it was a really nice prayer. I wanted our Heavenly Father there at the dinner with us, which He was. Everytime He is there, things are so nice and so special. My sister didn't show up. She text me this morning and told me she wasn't coming. That was expected, honestly. My dad, mom, lil bro, Grandpa, Grandma and my other Grandma all showed up. Lisa and I got everything ready, set out the food, set out chairs. Lisa made coffee for them and when they started eating, I gave them all their gift treats. Everyone loved their movies and my mom really liked her calendar. She said she liked it more than she would a movie. I got my grandma and grandpa, wrestling movies. They both loved it. My other grandma, I bought her a western variety of movies with Sam Elliot. She went crazy over it lol. She really likes that guy! My dad was the downer story lol. He already had the movie I bought him awwwww :( I bought him the Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 combo on Blu-Ray. He still liked it, just that he already had both movies separately. My brother, I bought him a 4 combo movie, The Descent 1 & 2 and Cabin Fever 1 & 2. He really liked them. After everyone ate, I had Lees fire up the Wii U and Mario Kart 8. I wanted a picture of my grandparents playing it. oh man I really wanted a picture of them playing! But, sadly my grandpa was really tired after dinner so he went right home along with grandma. My other grandma left the same time they did. The still had a wonderful time though and they thanked me for the dinner and the presents. My mom, dad, and lil bro stayed and we all played Mario Kart 8. Dad was the first to play. He's been wanting to try that game ever since his heart surgery back in April. Now, he finally played and he loved it. He couldn't get enough lol. Afterwards, my mom came and sat down as did my lil bro and we threw a wheel in their hands and they played. My mom almost didn't play, but dad finally persuaded her and she played. They were screaming and laughing. Dad was cracking jokes about my mom's racing and her coming in last hahahaha :D It was so funny and such a great time! I got pictures of them playing. That was something because my mom hates video games, yet there she was playing and having fun. It was a moment I'll forever remember!
After the games, we popped in 'Annabelle'. We all watched it. I didn't think they'd stay for the whole movie because mom said she needed to get to bed because of work tomorrow, but they stayed the whole movie. That was really nice! We sat in my toasty warm living room with the pellet stove fire going and watching a scary movie. There was so much food left that everyone ate a lil more during the movie. We had such a great time! After the movie, they all packed up their stuff, dad got himself a plate for lunch tomorrow and they left. It was sad to see them go, but I am thankful to God that all my family was there, well except my sister, but still they were there and we all had a wonderful time. I think we'll do this again next year, same time ;}
After everyone left, Lisa and I cleaned up. I went outside and fed the animals and got things back in order outside, closed my gates and now I'm ready to relax and soon head to sleep. I'm still pretty sore from this morning. Lisa is really sore too and we're both tired. She said that after this morning, she doesn't know how she had the energy to do all of this stuff this evening lol. I told her I was very proud of her! We had a great day. Now, time to relax this tired body lol. So until tomorrow, Goodnight!
When we got back home, we hit the jump ropes again. Lisa right off, did 50 jumps. I'm so proud of her. She was sore but she really pushed herself.

Day Two Hundred Sixty Seven - Extreme Restart
I'm definitely marking today because THIS...IS...THE DANCE!
Today was hardcore exercising! I finally am stepping it up. The great thing about it is that Lisa is right there next to me getting busy as well. We did 3 miles this morning about 8:45am. I realize that the past month, I've been doing my 3 miles, but I haven't really been pushing myself. More like a 3 mile stroll. I think that's why it hasn't really been doing much for me. Dammit, this time I'm doing it differently. I did 3 miles today and I freakin pushed it. I did a power walk all the way down and back. 3 miles of fast pace walking. I really want to build back up to running. I was able to run a bit a couple months back, but right now I don't wanna push my knee too bad. Last thing I need is for my knee to start giving me problems.
After the walk, we came home and we both did some fast jump rope. Oh man, that really did a number on me. I've had a jump rope, actually both of us have one, for a while now but we've never used them. I've just been putting it off until the next day. MAKE A NOTE OF THAT: DON'T EVER PUT SOMETHING OFF, NOT EVEN FOR A DAY BECAUSE THAT ONE DAY WILL TURN INTO A YEAR! That was my problem, that's why I haven't really pushed myself. I'm really glad I checked my weight the other day because if I hadn't, I sure wouldn't have started to push myself again like I did today. Anyway, I did a lot of jump rope. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt my knee, but oh man it gave my calves a workout and especially my abs. That really targeted my abs hardcore. After the jump roping, I did some weightlifting. I did some dead lifts, squats (but those did kinda hurt my knee because my form was bad since the bar I'm using is too short for me so my squats aren't very good. I need a longer weight bar). I also did some curls with my weights and some bench presses. I'm teaching Lisa how to fight also. She's been wanting to learn for a long time. I've taught her some, but we did some refresher moves today and now she's really picking it back up. We did that for a while also. She's also practicing the moves I taught her with her bo staff. She's really getting used to that thing. All in all, today we really kicked arse out there! By the afternoon, we were both really sore and right now as I'm writing this, my abs are sore but more than that, my legs are really Really sore. My thighs are sore as heck and really burnt out. I'm hobbling around everywhere lol. I'm also drinking water again. See how much I slacked off?! I haven't felt this sore in a long LONG time, seriously!! I really was not pushing myself at all! I'm getting back to drinking a gallon of water per day. I have my own water jug for that and I'm trying to finish it all. I almost finished one today. I've got a bit more to go, hopefully I can finish it but if I can't, then I'm going to try again tomorrow and again the next day and the next day all the way until summertime again.
The rest of the day was pretty mellow. I'm glad Lisa was off today! As sore as we both were, I wouldn't have wanted her to work today. Crazy! Well, until tomorrow, Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Sixty Six
Ok..today was different. I woke up this morning from a really intense dream. I have this really great friend named Cornelia. In my opinion, she is Perfect for me. I love everything about her. She's beautiful, smart, ambitious, and a lot of her personality and how she feels about herself is very identical to mine. We see the same on a lot of things and we have the same problems. The only problem, she lives in Arizona. My dream was about her! She and I were at a school I think, or somewhere. Kinda like a college. We finally met each other in person and she really liked me. We ended up passing into the flirting stage, to where we were holding hands. Eventually we got intimate with each other. A lot of her friends were in the dream and she was constantly trying to tell me something but her friends kept interrupting us. Finally we got together alone. We were both laying in my bed and I touched her. The whole time I was thinking, "I can't believe it, You are that girl I've been waiting for. Cornelia! You are her! This is so Amazing!" I kept saying that over and over in my head. When I touched her, I woke up and I found myself laying on my bed with my hand flat on the bed in the same position I was when I touched her. I kept wishing it was real. That was a very beautiful and confusing dream.
I told Lisa about it. We went on my morning walk because my head was really hurting. I went to bed extremely late last night so I didn't get up until 10 this morning. I can't sleep during the day like that otherwise I wake up with a bad headache, which I did. So that walk really helped. I told her about the dream and how I felt about it. It definitely was very strange because it was the first time I had ever had a dream about Cornelia. The dream was so real. I could see Cor and I could hear her voice. Her face looked just like her pictures do, same smile, same glasses. Her voice was exactly how it sounds. So perfect! I was thinking about that all day.
Ok, the rest of my day was pretty blah. Last night I took all my Christmas decorations down. I wanted to leave it up until the dinner on Wednesday because that was supposed to be kind of a Christmas dinner, but we changed plans and now it's just a dinner. No Christmas theme. Anyway I got my living room looking normal. This is the bad part of my day. I'm really wanting to get back into my core exercising. I know I stopped doing my 6 miles after my elk hunt because my knee was really bad. Well today, I stood on my weigh scale. Since I got back from Chama at the end of September, according to the scale, I put on 17 pounds!!! What?!! Now how the hell is that possible?!! I can't believe that! I haven't been eating bad. I haven't been eating a crapload of food or anything. My diet has been the same as it's been for months now. Granted I'm not as strict as I was last summer. But still, I'm not eating hamburgers daily. I just don't get it! So I'm going to have to bust ass again. I need to get my weight back down. Cornelia is coming over here in April. That's when my Fyrescape ends. April 28, 2015 is the last day. Omg I can't believe I put on 17 pounds! I sure don't feel like it and all my clothes still fit me the same way. Is my scale broken?! I don't get it. I'm so sick of this feeling. I can't even believe I let myself get this heavy. I used to weigh 167 pounds in the summer of 2000. What the hell happened?!! I'm so mad at myself, but dammit I'm not giving up. I'm going to get somewhere! I have a few months so I'm going to drop that 17 pounds I "apparently" put on. I don't know man, that is so bizarre! I sure don't feel 17 pounds heavier. I mean, that's a lot of weight. I would think I'd see it or something..but no. Weird!
Anyway Cornelia is coming over here for a wedding in April. I want to look good when I see her for the first time. I want my full confidence. I'm not expecting anything to happen. I'm just wanting to make a good impression when I see her for the first time. This'll be our first meet. I've known her for years now, but this will be the first time meeting in person. I want it to be good so I'm going to start busting my ass out there again. Lots of work to do!
Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Sixty Five
Did 3 miles today! That was refreshing. Damn, I am really getting tired of my heal hurting. It throbs all the time, especially after I walk. Every morning, I'm limping like an old man when I get out of bed. It only lasts long enough for the blood to start flowing down thru my feet, I'm guessing. Then it stops. I hate it though. My heal throbs throughout the day, especially after doing my walks. It's really irritating me! I hate it.
Went to Home Depot and bought some wood pellets, then we got a little bit of groceries. Definitely needed that. The rest of our money, I'm putting away for Wednesday. We're planning on buying some stuff out in town and just having a variety of food for everyone. I'm also planning on playing a movie so I'm hoping for a good one, as well as playing Mario Kart 8. I want to see my family all play that game. That'll be neat!
Watched both the NFC and AFC Championship games. Omg that game between Seattle and Green Bay, that was one of the BEST games I'd ever seen. I mean, how does that happen?! Green Bay was completely dominating throughout the entire first three quarters. They had a 16 point lead. By the third quarter, I'm thinking, It's Over! Some how, though, Seattle picked up their game and they totally came back, scoring one after the other. I could not believe it! Then Green Bay picked up their game again and by the end of the 4th, they were tied. That was really exciting! Seattle won that game because they totally put out their best. That was Amazing! I'm not a Seattle fan, nor am I a Green Bay fan, but I appreciate a good football game and that was one of the best I'd ever seen! Reminds me of my NY Giants when they played the Super Bowl against The Patriots. So Awesome! Now the AFC game, however, that one was boring. I mean, total blowout! The Colts just couldn't do anything. I mean, they beat Denver and after that game, I was sure they'd atleast do good because Peyton Manning is one of the best. Then they play this game and they totally sucked! They just couldn't do anything. The Patriots totally just ran over them. It was crazy! That was just too easy for them. 45 - 7, dang. So one game was an Awesome competitive game against two hungry teams, and the other was a total blowout! Should be a great Super Bowl match though. Seattle is way hungrier than the Colts were. As dominating at the Patriots were, it'll be neat to see them bring that game to Arizona against the Seahawks. I'm interested to see how Seattle plays against them. It'll be Awesome!
Well, that's my day. Nothing much else going on. I'm going to relax and head to bed soon. Goodnight!
Went to Home Depot and bought some wood pellets, then we got a little bit of groceries. Definitely needed that. The rest of our money, I'm putting away for Wednesday.

Day Two Hundred Sixty Four
Did some walking today. Busy! I had to get some things done in town. Other than that, today was actually pretty dull. We're starting to plan for our dinner happening this coming Wednesday. At first we thought about canceling it, but now we're decided on still putting it on.
I really need to get back to my core exercising.

Day Two Hundred Sixty Three
Ok today was good. Yesterday, oh man it was bad. I don't want to talk about it because it's over and done with. All I'll say was that it was a very bad day for Lisa and I but we got thru it and things are much much better now. Sometimes, things go wrong but you have to stay strong and just get thru it. With me, given how much I've been going thru with my family ignoring me and everything over my stupid sister, well that's really weighed down on my mind so any more crap that gets piled on me, it'll just break me right now. This past month has been so negative, it's crazy. Not a good start to 2015 at all. I don't know what's going to happen with my family, but I do know that MY little family here, Lisa, Me and all my pets, we're going to be just fine and we'll get thru everything just fine with smiles, great memories and adventures. Everything else, it is what it is!
Anyway, today was kinda busy for me. No exercise today! We needed to head to town this morning and pay bills and take care of some things. One positive thing today, I got my Directv turned back on. That thing has been off since the end of November, I believe. Still haven't heard from my parents. I don't know what's going on with them. I sure hate how they have been ignoring me all damn month. I don't even know if i should still have that late Christmas Dinner next Wednesday.
Tonight I went to Grandpa's for IMPACTwrestling. It was Awesome! We had a great time. Grandma was in great spirits. She got her teeth pulled earlier in the week so she's still dealing with that. Other than that, things are good. They told me some disturbing news about my mom. Apparently she had some bleeding..somewhere. My dad took her to the ER and they gave her an MRI, i believe. She was supposed to get the results back today. I guess they haven't heard from her yet though so I don't know what's going on. Funny how I had to hear this from my grandparents. See, they must still be pissed at me because of that shit with my sister last month. Ugh! Makes me sick.
Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Sixty One
Woke up feeling good. Did 3 miles again today! So far, I'm handling it great. My heel is feeling good but during the day after walking, it does act up and get kinda irritating. I wish it would hurry up and heal up. I really want to start running. I want to get back to doing six miles, but we'll see. I might have to just stick to 3 miles but do yoga and my bowflex workouts instead.
The rest of the day was pretty good. We went to watch 'TAK3N' today. That was such an Awesome movie. Liam Neeson does really great in those movies. He's an Awesome action star and honestly I do hope they make a 4th one. I heard he was up for it. I hope they make it. These Taken movies are really good. I hate how his wife was killed though :( That was sad because I really liked her. Really awesome movie though. I want to see it again.
Well that's about all for today. Nothin new goin on. Can't wait for Friday so I can get some gas in my truck. I haven't really drove it since before I got really sick. Now I'm better and wanna ride ;} Ok, until tomorrow. Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Fifty Nine
It was raining most of the day. Cloudy and raining. I went for a short walk today, as I did last night. I forgot to mention that in my blog yesterday. Just a short walk to loosen up my legs. My heal was really bothering me this morning. I wish the damn thing would just get better already. Once I'm fully better (sick free) I'm going to get back out there and try my 6 miles per day again. I'll have to do it slow and get back into it. I know it's gonna be tough, but with only 4 months left in my Fyrescape, I'll need to really get busy!
I'm fighting off a cough and funny chest feeling still. I hate dealing with this mucus ugh. That really bothers me, hacking up that stuff throughout the day. I just want to get better. The rain was pretty crazy. It's not too muddy out there, but it is wet. Tonight, there was something going on up the road from my house. Lots of cops there! Either someone died, or something bad happened. There were even city cops there, which is odd because they have no jurisdiction over here since I live on the reservation. I mean, town is just across the river, but city cops never come over here because of the jurisdiction. Anyway, they were here though so I'm curious to know what happened. I should go up there and snoop around lol. Naw, I'd probably get shot. Not really, I don't live in a dangerous area. I live in a very quiet place. It's just those ppl who live up there seem to be up to no good most the time. Lots of drunks that live there, I hear. Awful.
Well I'm going to clean up the place and fire up my pellet stove. It's gettin cold. Another great day and I'm ready to relax. Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Fifty Eight
I consider this a Brand New Day. I didn't have a church to attend this morning. Instead, Lisa and I stayed home and had a nice big breakfast and just talked about things. We decided we're not going to let my mom or anyone destroy our peace. We're just going to move on and continue our Journey.
As for my Fyrescape, it's still on. I have 4 months till my year is up. I'm still kinda coughing. I'm not 100 percent just yet. The house is nice and warm, which I'm so thankful for. Lisa is feeling better too, but she's dealing with her coughing as well. We both need to get our flu shots once we're both better. I don't wanna go thru this again. I've been sidelined for the last week and a half or so because of it. I want to get back out there and exercise so bad. My body is craving it!
Nothing much happened today. Just watched football this evening by myself. Lisa went to work. The Colts beat the Broncos. That was surprising. I feel bad for my dad and for my brother. Both their teams didn't make it. My brother is a Cardinals fan and my dad is a Broncos fan. Being as how the Super Bowl is in Arizona, I had hoped one of their teams would've made it. I wish mine did, but the Giants played like crap most the season. I was so disappointed in them. I knew they are and could be so much better than that! Hopefully this coming season they do great! I wanna see them at the Super Bowl again. As for this year, I thought it would've been a rematch of last year, but no dice. We shall see. I don't know if the Colts are going to be able to get past Brady and the Patriots next weekend, but with the way they played today, they just might. If they do make it to the Super Bowl, I'll definitely be rooting for them.
Well that was my day. I'm going to sleep soon. I'll take some Nyquil and just pass out until the sun is out once again. Goodnight and Dream Sweet!

Day Two Hundred Fifty Seven - Resigned from FIBC
No exercise today. Bad day. I was invited to lunch at my parents place, by my dad. Went over there and everyone was normal, which was a surprise given how my mom and dad have been ignoring me the last month almost, since that whole incident with my sister last month. We have not talked much. So I go over there. Dad and my brother are watching football. I say hi to them, then to my mom. I sit in the kitchen by myself. Then my sister shows up. Apparently, they're throwing a birthday dinner for her...that's why I was invited. Basically so they could feel like a normal family. My dad got an elk on his first day. I was very surprised. He went on the day I was really sick, last Tuesday. The day his hunt started, on Wednesday, he got one and came home on Thursday morning. They spend the whole time just kissing my sisters ass. Telling her this and that, acting so happy to see her. Completely ignoring the fact that she once again ran off and let the family down....again. So I assume that things are back to normal. After lunch, I try to talk to my mom. I tell her that I wrote to our Pastor and suggested some things to him on how he should act with the church and his plan of change because some of our members were getting afraid he was turning into the crazy "pastor" we had before that almost stole our church away from us. I just made some friendly suggestions. She shows me attitude and argues with me. No support whatsoever and she's still giving me hostility that I've been getting ever since last month. Before this, I tried telling her about my pellet stove situation and that it was actually my grandpa who messed it up. She didn't seem to buy it, nor did she seem to give a shit. She wouldn't even look at me. After telling her about pastor and getting that reaction, I decided that I was done! I went thru this last year when i tried telling her that the pastor was crazy and we needed to get rid of him. She didn't listen. Then, when he kicked everyone out, she finally opened her eyes, but she still did not acknowledge that I had told her two months prior. She just acted like it was something SHE discovered. Well, she's till giving me that non-supporting attitude and it's really messing with my life. It's distracting me from church. It's making me angry. So I made the decision to resign from my church! I text everyone tonight and told them. My mom didn't give a shit, of course. But the other church members were concerned, especially my grandma. It was nice to see happy feelings and things said about me. Nothing from my careless mom though. Yeah, she bought me a pellet stove, but you know what, my love trust and respect can't be bought! Just because you buy something for someone, doesn't mean you have the right to treat them like shit. I mean, I have been a loyal son. I have been loyal to my family. I'm always willing to help out. I work in my church and make my family name really mean something. I do great things there. I don't drink, smoke, do drugs. I'm very caring and I look after everyone. I put others before myself. I sacrifice. I help anyone I can all the time. I'm reliable and I never give anyone attitude. I'm very respectful to everyone. All that and my own mom doesn't show me appreciation. She never says Thank You. She never once told me she was proud of me from her own mouth. Nothing! She calls me a bum, just because I don't have a job paying me $150,000 a year and a big fancy College Degree hanging on my wall. She has nothing to brag to her friends about because of that. No but my sister, she turns lesbian, drinks, lets the family down numerous times, breaks her promises, and runs off for weeks, months at a time with no word whatsoever, she gets a big birthday dinner. I do one thing apparently wrong like stand up for my family by telling my sister that she really let them down, and I get ignored for an entire month and I get disrespected and I don't get any support. Well you can't buy my love so she can take her damn pellet stove back if she wants. I AM NEVER GOING TO JUST LET THIS GO!!!
So yes, today was a bad day. Because of my uncaring, ungrateful and unsupporting mom, I left my church. No matter what is said about me, I left because of HER. But I am never walking away from God. Lisa is coming with me too. She is the most supportive and wonderful friend I have ever had. We are going to find another church where my mom is not and hopefully I can continue my work and meet new ppl who are supportive. I am looking forward to that!
Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Fifty Six
Today is my sister's birthday. I wish her a Happy Birthday...however being as how she's off doing what SHE wants to do, I doubt anyone will see her today. Oh well.
Woke up feeling better but I still have this sinus crap I'm trying to fight off. I hope I can shake this soon. Bad thing is, now Lisa is sick :( I did not want her getting sick, but now she is. I just hope she shakes hers faster than I did. Doesn't look like, so far, she caught exactly what I had. We'll see.
No walking for me today. I wanted to, but there are things going on right now that are really making me angry and bringing me down. My family and I still aren't on talking terms. Apparently my dad went on his hunting trip a few days back...did not tell me, got one...still did not call or bother telling me, yet tells everyone else. Today i finally got a text from him that says he got one. I was really let down by that. Geez I don't know why the hell they're so pissed at me! What the F did I do that was so F'ing bad?? I just don't get it.

Day Two Hundred Fifty Five
Ugh I think I'm winding down in my sickness finally but today I had so much sinus pressure and my sinuses were just clogged and my throat was scratchy from all the severe coughing I had over the weekend. I did not feel too good this morning so no walking for me today. I'm feeling better this evening though. Lots of mucus I'm hacking up though :(
I'm sure it'll be much better tomorrow. Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Fifty
Wow, 250 days of Fyrescape today! Crazy. I haven't been on a path of exercise this long EVER! Granted that I haven't really been exercising daily these last few weeks, I've still lost a whole lot of weight and inches. It's Awesome! Not finish yet though. I still have 4 months till April 28th.
Anyway, we had way too much to do today so I didn't get a walk in, not only that I woke up with a sore throat :( ugh, I hate this. My throat is sore and my nose is runny. I think I caught a cold or something from Grandpa's yesterday. I went there and my grandma was sick. She'd caught a cold. While we were talking, my grandpa gave me a cup of hot coco. I bet, in fact I can almost bet money that without thinking, he gave me my grandma's cup. He probably just rinsed it out and gave me coco in her cup...yea and she's got a cold. So Blamo, now I caught it. I was feeling this last night not long before Lisa got off work. This really sux! I hate getting sick.
We'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow. Damn it was cold today too. The wind was blowing a bit and it was really icy outside and by that, I mean the wind. The wind was icy! It was a sunny day though, just windy and cold. This morning Lees and I went to do laundry finally! Since our usual place we do laundry at, closed, we went to a new place. It was pretty nice! They have arcade games in there and one of them was my favorite as a kid called, Centipede. I love that game! Also, Galaga was there also. I just played Centipede though. It was really fun! Brought back some childhood feelings. It was funny, there were these two young teenage girls there. Lisa said they were really checkin me out and giggling, doin that flirty girl thing lol. That was cute! While I was at the game playing, they came by me and were getting snacks out of the machine. I don't know which, but one of them kept brushing up against my butt. I'm sure standing there at the arcade game and they kept brushing against me. I kept moving forward, not thinking anything about it at the time because I was too engrossed in the game. Lisa was watching them. She said when I went into the bathroom, they were both looking around for me. haha that was crazy! I didn't look at them though. They were far too young so I just kept my eyes away from them. They were just girls, really.
Anyway, that laundry was pretty good. Came home and my clothes were all still pretty damp though. The dryers were not very hot. Oh well, I got them all hanging up now. So after getting home, we ate some lunch then Lisa went to work. I did some things around the house. I changed out the dog's water. Totally frozen. Then I had to clean my pellet stove. Oh man, that thing is running really good now. I am so glad that Grandpa helped me get all those things. Since I put the new thermocouple in, it's been running like a dream! Very awesome!
Well that's about all for today. I'm going to just relax it up and try to get over this sickness I caught. I hate that my nose is runny. It's not really bad, but it is getting bothersome. Feels more like allergies now rather than a sore throat. Anyway, until tomorrow ;} Goodnight!

Well that's about all for today. I'm going to just relax it up and try to get over this sickness I caught. I hate that my nose is runny. It's not really bad, but it is getting bothersome. Feels more like allergies now rather than a sore throat. Anyway, until tomorrow ;} Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Forty Nine
So Day Two of 2015 ;} Well it was ok. I didn't walk today because we had stuff to do this morning. I got up early though and went outside to get the paper. I fell asleep on the couch last night. It was nice and warm in the place though, but oh man outside brrrrrr!!! It was super cold! Just walking down the road to get the paper, my face froze. There was a chilly icy breeze. I feel so bad for my dogs. They have nice homes to sleep in with straw everywhere for their beds, but I want to get them heat lamps. Hopefully I can get them one tonight. I plan on going to Walmart after Lisa gets off work. I'll see what I can find. I worry about my animals all the time. My cats are fine. They have a heat lamp installed in their cat house so they're always warm and snuggled up in there.
Anyway, we went out and paid bills :'( Dang it wasn't very pretty. We took care of the important ones, but we still have a lot to get caught up on. We sacrificed everything to have money to spend on Christmas this year. Of course, that whole plan was ruined by the situation with my sister. Needless to say, we've got lots of catching up to do as far as bills are concerned. I didn't get my Directv back on :( That sux! I'll be missing the first episode of TNA IMPACTwrestling on their new channel, Destination America which is actually channel 286 on Directv. For Dish Network, I believe the channel is 194. My grandpa has Dish so he wanted to know which channel so I found it for him. I really can't wait. The new IMPACT shows are going to be Awesome! It's gonna be a great year for TNA.
This evening I was quite busy. I hauled wood pellet bags to my grandma's house for her. She was running low. Then I finally took a shower. Afterwards I had to head down to grandpa's to pick up some food my grandma packed for me. I guess yesterday they had a New Year's dinner or something. My mom called me yesterday afternoon but we had just finished eating so I didn't go. I wish I did, though. Sounded fun! Well tomorrow I've got to do my laundry. It's really pilling up. Once the weather warms up a tad, I'm going to really start doing some serious exercising! It's tough for me though. Lots of ppl out there have big fancy gyms to go to and fitness places or whatnot. Me, I have a long dirt road that I walk/run on. Nothing fancy! I'm old fashioned and over here, it's gotten pretty damn cold out there. We're talking down in the low teens in the early morning hours. I think this morning it was 10 degrees. Yesterday it was 14. So it's getting colder. It's really hard to walk out there in that kind of temperature. My face really freezes, then dries up really bad. My skin is very sensitive. When I sweat, I'll break out in a rash on my forehead. Crazy!
Anyway, I don't got much else for today. Just a sorta busy day. Tomorrow we've gotta do laundry so if I walk tomorrow, it probably won't be until the evening time. We'll see though. I hear there's another cold front and storm coming in. Right now it's really cold outside and kinda breezy. Looks like there's fog rolling in as well. Ok, hope your day was great! Until tomorrow ;} Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Forty Eight - New Year's Day 2015
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!
Wow the very first day of 2015. A brand new page in a 365 page book! I saw that somewhere and thought it was really cool. Well, the first day of my new year, I did 3 miles ;} Heck ya, it may be a holiday but I'm not slacking! I'm putting out some hardcore training this year and this is day one! Granted I didn't do much else besides the 3 miles this morning, but I will. I plan on finishing out this year of Fyrescape by really hitting it hard out there and picking up my weight training and DDPyoga. I wanna see how much I can drop by April 28, 2015. That's when my year of Fyrescape is up. So far, I've done great but I still have a long way to go.
Well that's really all that happened today. Just stayed home by myself. Lisa went to work. We were up till Midnight last night and brought in the new year with Sparkling Grape juice and a couple Fireworks. It was crazy, I lit one of the big ones and Lisa got her hand too close. The fuse burned her hand pretty good. She was in pain the whole New Year lol. I cleaned up her hand though. It was just a small spot below her thumb on her right side. I cleaned it, then put Vaseline on it and covered it with a Band-Aid. She was ok. It was really burning though so she had ice on it also. Today after she woke up, it was feeling much better but it still bothered her when she touched it. Out on the walk, Cody pushed on her hand with his nose and it really hurt her. She got after him and whacked his nose lol. Crazy dog!
I'm really looking forward to this year. There is so much I want to change and so many things I want to do. There are Also some really BAD HABITS that I want to break. I'm going to start working on all that starting tomorrow. Today was just my warm up day and a day of laziness. I really want to get busy with my life and really push it into fifth gear.
Ok that's about all I have for now. My mom called earlier to invite me down to grandma and grandpa's for lunch. I declined though because Lees and I had just ate. I didn't know they were going to have anything down there. Last night, they didn't say anything. I was so full because Lisa cooked a huge lunch. I was very stuffed and couldn't take in any more chow. So I just had her tell grandma to save me a bowl. Anyway, that's my new year's day ;}
So I look forward to great things in 2015. Some new Awesome adventures and yes some tough challenges, hardships and failures. Nothing is perfect and with all the good you want, there will be some bad that comes in there. I will just pray and keep my faith in God. That alone will get me thru every step of the way. So Happy 2015 and let's make it an Awesome and Crazy New Year!!!!
Goodnight!
