So, for Week 3, I took it easy on the exercising, as I was still a little sick and did not want to risk compromising my immune system. I went to the gym twice= no good for losing weight. However, I did stick to my eating plan, and did not cheat during the week.
Then, the weekend arrived: a visit to the Japanese buffet is how it all started. My life was temporarily over. Then, I got trashed at a 2 year-old's birthday party (a new low, or high, depending on how you look at it) where massive consumption of birthday cake and shots of Surfers on Acid took place. It was fun, and I got in trouble for allowing the 2 year-old to completely destroy his birthday cake, and thus his cute little outfit, with a butter knife. I was letting him be creative; his Mommy was not amused. I also went to Danny's house, which is full of Cuban pastries and his Mom's mojitos. It was all over then.
This week, I'm back on track. I am back on my regular exercise schedule, and the SBD is back in full force. On a side note, I have another goal on this long and winding road: I'm thinking about joining the military, specifically the Navy, after I'm finished with school. The main reason is because I'm in some serious debt, and with most colleges and universities on a hiring freeze because of our lovely economy, I will probably be fucked in terms of getting a job and generating steady income. The military also offers sweet college loan repayment options. I have already been "let go" from two orchestras for this season because of the economy, and as a musician it's not going to get any better for awhile. It also goes with the "getting healthy" project because I need to lose some weight to meet the Navy's height/weight standards. Thoughts?

wow! that's a big decision to join the military...never really pictured you doing that, but it could be fun! plus they'll hook you up being a college grad and beyond. i think getting drunk at a 2-year-old's birthday party is definitely a new high and we should all strive for that kind of greatness.
ReplyDeletei have a friend who is teaching at a small college in colorado while she finishes her Doctorate at CCM. There are possible jobs out there, and I'd suggest doing a search for possibilities before signing up.
ReplyDeleteI have no problem with joining the military, but if the reason is 'no jobs', make sure of that before making an assumption.
I thought I couldn't change jobs, but was surprised - even in this economy - how many PR/Communication jobs were open.
and i've gotten drunk at a child's birthday party. the shame passes in a few days.
believe me, i have been doing the research of the job situation now in my field, and it is quite limited.we'll see how the military thing goes... my loans are sky high, and i don't want to be paying them off for the rest of my life (the military would be repaying a large amount of them if i were to join). i would be joining as a musician; my primary responsibility would be to play my horn. not a bad gig, considering the benefits.
