That was my expression yesterday in between doing a SnoopyDance as I realized I now have a small Bicep.
It's not a lot but its something and it took me about 21 months to get there. Its also been 21 months since the big diet change. How cool.
Been pretty good about getting up early to the gym. I get up at 530am go to the gym and in work by 730am. Typically I work 10-12 hours then I am pooped and go home. I've also been lucky to go to hit stuff the last couple Saturdays. Leaves me feeling good, de-stressed and sore.
While I don't mind working a lot and do because I am a work-a-holic, I really miss Karate and Muay Thai. I miss helping teach Karate. Though there are a few bad apple parents that make me want to pull my hair out, I just really love helping them and watching them learn and grow. Every night I ask Jeff about the classes, and go through just about every student to see how they are doing. Apparently at Eliot they give him TWO high-fives because I'm not there.
Tomorrow is supposed to be Super Kids promotions and I plan on surprising them. I am also going to surprise our Student of the Month. Hoping all goes well at work tomorrow so I can leave. Then Thursday is promotions at Everett. This will be the first time I am missing it/ineligible to be promoted. Breaks my heart in so many ways.
Weather here sucks with all the cold and the snow but my body and health is holding up really great.
Looking forward to warmth again and to vacation in July.

New Year
It has been awhile, and I keep meaning to write a little something, but get lazy.
Tomorrow I go back to work after a nice long week off. I really enjoyed my time and got stuff done.
So here are some updates...
Health
Doing great. 2010 was a good year for me as I was healthy all year long. Its great to start the New Year healthier, and with NO tingling. My weight is about where I want it, I just need muscle. To keep healthy I need to continue to get stronger, and balance life more. I've signed up at a cheap gym nearby and I intend on lifting and running. I hope to stick to it.
Work
BUSY! Though I was allowed the week off, I know I am coming back to chaos. Though I'll probably work a lot, I've tried to make a promise to at least work out. I still love what I do, and glad that my salary is almost back to 100%.
Martial Arts
Though I am sad to not be able to help Jeff at the Eliot, what also hurts is that I probably won't be able to make it to Karate either. I'm bummed, but I'm hoping to fold it in as much as I can. The KICK program ended strong and we reached all of our goals in 2010. I'm hoping to do some good things in this upcoming year. I will also try to continue to fold in Muay Thai. I've met an old student of Jeff's and she is willing to give me a ride on Saturdays so at least I will have that. I've also asked Jeff for us to do training every Sunday. Mostly for me to keep my Karate up to par, and just hitting stuff for Muay Thai.
I'd really like to get into the ring. I've been saying it for a long time, but I need to make it happen. This is been like a hobby that I've been in and out of. I'd like to do something with it.
2011 Stuff
I'm really excited that Jeff and I will be going to Michigan in July. The best part will be spending time with my niece. It will be so awesome. We will be spending time up at the Cabin, and maybe even spend a couple days in Grand Rapids with Krysta. More and more Jeff and I are thinking about our future. Michigan is an option, so we'd like to see how our gut feels. I heard this quote once "When you ask God a question you get an answer. Yes, No, and Wait." I'm really thinking that this time next year we will know our answer. In some ways our future was so unknown during 2010, and it felt sometimes like purgatory. We want and we need to make stuff happen for us. I hope things become a little more clearer throughout this next year.
2012 seems a long way off but not so far.
My dad says 'seekers of the truth'. I always trust my gut and my heart. I also know all things will work themselves out. Sometimes I just need patience. Sometimes I just need the confidence to make the tough decisions.
Here is to the New Year!
