Life moves forward,
I’m still jobless. Which is a little annoying, as I’ve actually been trying to get at least a part time one. Some positive things though. I started the ball rolling early this month to go back to school. Right now its look very good. I’ve got my stuff in for financial aid, and I took my Accuplacer Test today. I was nervous as all get out going in. I haven’t really taken any tests in 10 years. I did well, well enough to get in for my degree of choice for sure. What am I looking at? IT Programmer/Analyst. Its not what I really want to do, that would be Physics. A 2 year program compared to the 6-8 I’d need in Physics is more appealing at present though. I think I’d like to go for Physics afterwards, but this will give me something to work with, career wise.
Yesterday was also a good day for me. I reach one of my personal monthly goals. I jogged a full and complete mile, without stopping. I don’t jog very fast, and my legs felt kinda jell-oish afterwards, but I did it. Now I just need to continue, letting jogging become easier and easier. I will get to that 7 minute mile. Its just a matter of time.
I’ve also made a little change to my weight training. I’m starting to incorporate some more body weight exercises. Push-ups, squats, lunges, to name a few. I’m hoping to add some pull-up/chin-ups once I shed a bit more weight and get a little stronger. I’m aiming to be functionally fit, and these I think will help me with that goal.
