Still Alive and Well

It's been over a month since my last post and I feel really bad that I haven't been able to consistantly blog something everyday. There shouldn't be an excuse (i'm so harsh on myself)!

I know this is a bit premature since we're not close to end of the year, but I've noticed that 2006 has not been a good year for some of us; especially for a lot of people I know. First of all for myself, 2006 embarks the year that I turn 30 years old! My health has not been the greatest this year. After my Peru trip in September 2005, I had to see the doctor to get checked out because I fractured my tailbone. So my doctor suggested that I have complete physical. Then from that point on, my health has gone downhill because I have high blood pressure, very high cholesterol, and a fatty liver. I find that it's good that I'm aware of these conditions at a young age, but it involves a lot of discipline to adapt your body to the changes for a healthier lifestyle. Now that I'm aware of these conditions, I have to really adjust my body with exercise, proper diet, and plenty of rest. The only major drawback, is the fact that I can tell that my health has been holding me back. I'm not as strong and energetic as I used to be. It could be that my energy is absorbed by work, but I've noticed that I don't have the endurance I used to have when I was younger. Could this be a sign that my age is finally catching up to me? Everyone tells me that once you hit 30, you lose that energetic youth.

As I've mentioned in prior postings, the job that I have is very demanding of my time. People in the car business will agree that the hours are long, you diet on fast food, and everything is fast paced when it's busy. I have come to realization that in order for me to enjoy the rest of my life is for me to make a change and take care of my health. Since the demands are greater in the car business, I've come to the decision to finally move on. Basically to move on to preserve my health. Some people aren't cut out for this business, and I'm one of them. So my days are short in the car business. I have to now push really hard to find a new career in something else. A job that isn't so demanding of you personal time and has normal work hours. Perhaps weekends off as well. So here's to the new future and career path that I have ahead of myself. Wish me the best of luck!

Yea, I get physically tired too easily at 30. But the mind is much richer...
