Oops I Did it Again

I got sidetracked...but not after completing Insanity...That's right. I finished it. I'll pause so that you may gasp at the fact that I began something and finished it. So what came after that? Well, a delay in usage from the Advocare products...more or less a monetary delay.

I love Spark and I love Slam. Psychosomatic or not, they work for me the way I need them to, which is what's said on the label. At this point, I couldn't care less if it was packaged sugar that they were peddling but it does the trick for me and for those that I've given a few samples for. Its not for everyone, this is not a miracle powder or juice, but it is for me and if I had the money, I'd gladly pay the $2-$3k to permanently hook myself up with a 40% discount. Man...40% off of everything...it will happen soon enough but I get so excited at the prospect of 4k worth of product at my disposal...

Team Evil (my Dodgeball team) finished first in the open division and I think fourth in the coed division in the Phoenix Dodgeball League. Although I was not there for the finals, I heard about the epicness that took place and it was great to know that my team does not need me to bring home the big win. They're just as capable, just as good at taking care of business as I am, or have come to be and it is such a privilege and joy to have them wear the skull, the jersey and take part in the team. Team Evil in the Azdodgeball League, also took first. I was there for that and enjoyed every minute of it, even the Halloween party that followed after.

The following Monday, I went to California for three weeks on Air Force duty. Got a lot of "Looking good, Damon" from people, was told I looked slimmer, leaner and I owe it all to Insanity. It melted away what fat I accrued over the months of drinking, helped me maintain a youthful reserve of energy and made for a much easier time moving around in my chem gear during the war exercise. It was great, I felt great and able to do anything.

Once I got more free time, I hit the gym up there and unfortunately, had to rely on GNC products. I cringe now but at the time, I was desperate for nutritional sustenance. Thought I needed it. I researched BCAA's and the like and bought a bottle of horse pills. Couldn't take 'em. I bought some powdery stuff (which I still have) and didn't really feel "it" but took them along with a recovery shake/powder anyway.

A few days into the routine, I texted my trainer, asking about BCAA's and what he knew about them. He got back to me and said that Advocare's Catalyst (which I should be taking more thoroughly and still have a decent supply of) has several of said protein/amino chains already...

Live and learn. Spend and regret. Oh well.

I come home and really didn't do much aside from catch up on my grad school homework. Spent a lot of time with family, especially during Thanksgiving. Had some household drama that distracted me from functioning but that has all but subsided now and is at that point where I just look back and laugh at it all. What will be, will be. I'll always have my dedication to fitness and hopefully, good physical health, my friends, family, the Air Force, whatever it is that makes me great will always be there; if I continue to remind myself and not succumb to the petty mongering of lesser persons, it will be there.

Currently my house is clean and the spacious aspect of it that we tenants fell in love with has not only begun to reveal itself, but also provide for a great party atmosphere...however with that comes the drinking...

I haven't hit the gym yet and I know when I do I am going to be ridiculed (justifiably so) by my trainer but I'll take it and build myself back up to and passed where I was. I did one day of P90x and when my training sessions finally expire, I know I have a great new home based workout to take on. That kicked my ass. If Insanity can give me the lean frame and P90x can build the muscle while the trainer perfects it and Advocare sustains it...holy shit look out envious whiners.

I did re-start the Insanity work out. Today marks Day 4..."Pure Cardio" the worst day of them all. Do I want to do it? No. Will I? Yes. Will I be grateful afterward? You're God Damn right I will be.
