New Year's Eve...

Here we are, 11:30ish pm and 2012 staring me in the (tired and heavy) eyes. So much has changed with how I am ringing in 2012 this year, compared to last year. 2011 started out with me still dealing with the pain of a break-up and not knowing what to do. I spent New Year's Eve last year getting drunk at my apartment alone until my friend came over and we played drunken board games. We then did the drunken hook-up thing. Way to ring in the new year with a bang...

I was hanging out with a different chick that I knew was trouble, and sure enough, proved it over and over again. I was practically stalked by this nutcase... Its unproven, but I think she is responsible for smashing my roommate's truck's window (after mistakenly smashing HIS window and not mine)...

I started to spend more and more time with a girl I kinda knew beginning at the halfway point of the year. It has progressively turned into what, I guess, you could call a relationship. We've met each other's families. Mine loves her and I'm pretty sure hers thinks I'm ok...

I have completely stopped drinking, and I now find myself over four months sober and I haven't really looked back. It has gotten easier and easier to stay away from the beer and booze that had been my crutch for so long. I have moved my addiction to something else: exercise...

I started to run and progressively moved into cycling. I bought myself a Specialized road bike and have REALLY gotten into this sport. I ride about 4 times a week, about 20-25 miles a ride. I am training for a triathlon, but have found I get the most joy out of the cycling and am starting to look into solely cycling events, as well. I have never been happier with how I look than I am right now, although, you won't see me walking around without a shirt on just yet...

I am looking forward to the possibilities and opportunities that await me in 2012, and I am excited to face any and all challenges! Lets go, 2012... Try your best!

Over 10 Weeks!

I have not had any alcohol for over 10 weeks! I am feeling great, too!!! Been working out 6 days a week in preparation for my upcoming triathlon. Gotta run! ...and swim... and cycle...

My New Goal

For the past month or so, I have been training for a triathlon. One of my best friends, Dr. Ryan, is training along side me. The goal is to complete the Coronado Island Triathlon in the middle of March. Beginning Monday, we are following an extremely hardcore training program to get us set. It is a 12 week program that will end before the event, but get us more than prepared to complete and compete in that triathlon. Since I have turned 30, I have become obsessed with being in shape. I am over 5 weeks sober with no alcohol in my near future. I am on dietary supplements, so the no alcohol is good for my liver. Baseball season just ended for me, so a way for me to stay in shape for the off-season is this. Just wait! We'll be tracking our progress all the way up to the event. We may start up a new blog just for this! I'll keep this up to date!

My 30s...

BLAH! I turned 30 today. No more 20s... Its a sad, sad day for me...

I'm Stuck On This Song/Artist!

Maybe I'd sell you a chicken... With poison interlaced wis the meat...

Great Weekend!

This past weekend was so great! I spent it with a girl that is becoming more and more important to me. We took my puppy dogs down to Coronado Island. I am so happy that my dogs love her and she loves them! We spent the day taking the dogs for a walk down to a little cove and letting them play in the ocean. This was their first time going to the beach and they ran right into the water and started playing! It was so cute!



Afterwards, we strolled around the town of Coronado for the afternoon. As the evening came, we went into San Diego and enjoyed an AMAZING Amos Lee concert at Humphrey's By The Bay.
