Short Term Pain for Long Term Gain

This is what my Judo Sensei, Dr. James Tanaka, always told me. I always had a similar thought in that I always told my friends to always progress in life and no matter what hardships you go through, just learn from your mistakes and keep moving on to bigger and better things.I believe in another life, we would be best friends because our connection was like none other. He told me repeatedly that I reminded him of himself. I've always been humbled by him and always know that he will give me wisdom whenever I come into his life. He wrote me a beautiful letter of reccommendation that I will always cherish. I'll be turning in my army packet to become a Health Services Officer in the Army in late May or early June. I graduate May 22nd and can't wait.

I can only move on with each passing day. Lately I've had so much free time on my hands that I look at the world a little bit differently now. Now, I always smile, and I mean..always smile to everyone where ever I go and I believe it rubs off on everyone else. For every second spent being negative or mad at the world is a second of happiness you never get back. So I say always progress each day and don't be shy, walk with your head up high with confidence in everything that you do, and for everything that you do not know, be humble, learn, and progress onto any adventures in life you choose to take.

I've been hitting the gym about 4-5x a week now the past 5 weeks and I can definitely tell the results. Since the new year, I lost 13 lbs and keeping it off! I wouldn't say I'm on a diet, but I would say that I changed my eating habits: for 1, I have a fruit smoothie with protein powder, and oatmeal, ginko biloba pill, multi-vitamin pill anywhere from 2-3x a day, I'll have 1-2 snacks throughout the day, and have one hearty meal with plenty of calories to help keep me energized for whatever I do. The only other pills I take are fish oil pills 3x a day. It keeps my skin looking good, joints healthy, brain active, and lowers my LDL (bad cholesterol). My 6pack is coming in and staying! every week after a good cardio session or capoeira class I feel so proud for all the hard work I put in at the gym throughout the week.

more to come...time to zone out to MIKE POSNER !!
