Moving into 2010...

Take a moment and put yourself back on New Year's Eve 2008 and reminisce. What comes to mind? Hold on for a quick second, I am speaking of something other than the amazing time you had celebrating... Well, I sure know that I did...I was in Miami...Woooo Weeee! Anyway... lets not digress here.

     >What goals did you have planned?
     > What changes were you going to make?
     > What dreams were to be accomplished?

It is def hard to look back and ask yourself those things and admit that you probably failed miserably at attaining any of those things, do not dwell on that and do not set up lousy goals. Make a plan that you can attack day by day and succeed with many mini goals and accomplishments. For example, one of the most common goals is to lose weight...RIGHT? Do not go into the gym on Jan 1,2, or 3 and hit the treadmill and weights like a bat out of hell. (Not to mention the wicked soreness that you will be experiencing.) Start off slowly go for some hikes, change what you eat, do it  1 activity or meal at a time. That will lead you in the path of success. This applies to anything and everything. Go make it happen, shit start TODAY!

As we all know 2009 has been one hell of a rough year for everyone, remember that and make 2010 an amazing year.

  6. How often you say “thank you.”
  7. Being competitive.
  8. Notice and appreciate all acts of kindness—they are everywhere!
  9. How nice you are to yourself. Your own thoughts
  10. The type of food you eat.
  11. Signing up for a competitive event whether it be physically or mentally challenging.
  12. How many new things you try.
  13. Taking time to breathe.

I am aiming at going full Rx Paleo Zone straight through sectionals with some major training changes. Left hammy is tender and will need some nursing.

An evening of pain and agony...

By Ruben Rojas on 5:08 PM

comments (0)

Filed Under:

Last night around 11p I started to feel sick & queezy, so I prepared myself to go to bed and hopefully manage to sleep it off and wake up all better, but to my dismay that is not what this bug wanted me to do. It tortured me all night and still as I am writing this post.

Let me use a couple of examples so that you can better relate to exactly how I was feeling.  First example, imagine a video game like Street Fighter or Tekken and you have all these fighters with super powers and what not...got it? Ok, so picture yourself getting kicked in the stomach repeatedly while a little video game nerd is hitting the turbo button and unleashing all of this fighters super powers and deadly combos on your midsection. Or, example 2, picture a street worker and by street worker I mean imagine Michael Clarke Duncan with a huge jack hammer standing over you with the point of this massive jack hammer inserted directly into  your belly button and for some reason it happens to be a souped up and highly modified jack hammer that unleashes all hell on ya.... Ok now can you somewhat get an idea of what I was am feeling? Not to mention that I could not even touch my stomach because it was so tender.

Anyway, so I was up puking all night and by puking I mean red & brown waterfalls or projectile vomit just flowing from my mouth. (I will leave it at that.) Mind you that I am not a puker and it took a lot out of me to allow myself to puke and to relax. I literally talked myself into it every single time,  repeating to myself relax, let it out, you will feel better, unleash the wrath... You name it and I pretty much said it.

So, did all the vomiting sessions help? Ehhh yes and no! The pain was still unbearable and did not allow me to sleep for one second.  Imagine the frustration of being exhausted but in such pain that you just could not sleep no matter how much you tried. That was my nightmare last night. My alarm clock starts ringing and yup it is 9a and I am still wide awake. Just after that I manged to get a little bit of sleep until my phone rang and woke me up around 10:15a.

After that I managed to get some sleep throughout the day, but with no comfort or real success. My body aches kept waking me up everytime I moved, so it turned out to be one of those half-ass sleep sessions where you pretty much just keep yours eyes closed and tell yourself that you are alseep.

It is now 5p and lets see if I can kick this bug out soon and get everything back on track.

As you all know by now... I love beer and in showing my passion for beer I will be brewing my own specialty label brew in my humble abode. So, what should I call it? What should my logo be? How bout a mascot? Something just completely off the walls. Whomever comes up with the label and name that I will be using gets some of this soon to be world famous brew. For now it will be "RuBrew!"
