So...a small little update....my damn truck has broken down and I am pretty sure it is the fuel pump again. I have been searching frantically for a dealership to finance me, but to no avail, so needless to say I have been real stressed out. But as a natural Bakken would, I mulled my situation over a cigar last night, and came to the conclusion that I would just be truckless until January when I get my taxes and security deposit back. It's just not practical for me to have another $300-$400 payment at the end of the month, when I have some things that I need to do before I can afford a new car. So I am just going to have to bear down, and try to get rides where I can for a few months, until I can get my sweet ride fixed.
I have also set a timeframe for myself, I am giving myself until January of 2008 to be at the the place I want to be financially, and if I am not, I am going to go back to school, I'll start at CCSN, to finish my generals, and then transfer to UNLV and get a Real Estate Investing Degree or something along that lines since that is what I want to do on the side from poker.
I have also totally changed my eating habits to gain weight, my diet consists of chicken breasts, potatoes, eggs, spaghetti, soy milk, and juice. I am also taking workout supplements as well, such as creatine, and working out four times a week and I plan on keeping on this workout plan for awhile. I am also waking up earlier and staying active, I have found that the less you oversleep, and the more active you stay, the harder it is to be lethargic, and the quality of sleep you get is much better. Not to sound gay, but this diet and workout regimen is really helping me to live a better quality of life, I make full use of everyday, it keeps me very sharp mentally and physically, which will help tremendously with several facets of my life. Unfortunately though, I do still drink beer on occasion and usually lots of it, but that is ok for now, it's like Matt Hughes says "You can put anything in the furnace you want, as long as you can heat it up enough to burn it all away." I hope to start my MMA training within a month, but we will have to see about my finances, I hope to gain around 5-10 lbs a month, until I reach 180 and then hold steady there.
I'll also be going home Dec. 22-27 I believe, spending two days in the cities, and then the rest of my time in Mankato.
