I think I am still full!

I ate my @$$ off yesterday. I had to lie down on the floor for a little while. I ate so much it hurt. It was so good though. We had garlic mashed potatoes (cooked by your's truly), corn casserole, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, turkey and fried turkey breast (all of which was either cooked or supplied by my brother and his wife). We started with some cheese and crackers as an appetizer. We also managed to down about five sour apple martinis a piece. They were delicious.

After dinner and relaxing we headed over to some friends for dessert. I could hardly eat but I managed to force some apple and pecan pie down. The apple pie was sugar free and not very good even with the whipped creame on it. What a waste. The pecan pie was yummy though.

Back at work today. What a freaking drag. I wonder how much I weigh? Managed to get some studying done. It has been fairly slow today. Luckily I get to come back tomorrow to work 10-3. Come on, don't you wish you could be me for a day? Probably just do some more studying tomorrow while recovering from the inevitable hangover I will have in the morning LOL. Yeah mom, I am going to get drunk tonight and there ain't nothin' you can do about it. Neener, neener, neener :).

Is getting drunk anyway for a high level combat athlete such as myself to act? Probably not, but I need some time off from all of that. I deserve it and will not feel guilty about it. I am back in the gym Monday lifting heavy again and getting stronger. I don't have to worry about my weight until after the New Year. I will continue to eat clean starting Monday and start conditioning again in the evenings with the team.

I did some work on the website. Nothing major yet. There is still lots to do. It needs a massive revamping and updating. Hopefully I can continued to find some time for it. Take a look if you have never been there The HardCore Gym.

Hope everyone had a happy, healthy and safe holiday. I know that I have lots to be thankful for and I think yesterday is just a nice way to put it all in perspective. I am very happy with where I am in life right now. Sure I wish that I had better job and was making some real money. Although I know that I am in pursuit of a greater good and this job serves that purpose. I will hopefully be in Nursing School next June and I have some big fights coming up soon.

I have a wonderful family whom I love dearly, great friends, a great gym and a fight career that is starting to blossom after all these years. Life is good and money isn't everything. I work to live and I don't live to work. That is hard for a lot of people to say. I don't have anyone else to worry about so I need to make the most of this while I can. Until next time, this is Version 1.5 (yeah, yesterday messed me up that badly LOL) signing off. Later
