Drastic life changes! This is the path that I came here looking for.
Boy, what a hectic few months it’s been! School, job hunting, car registration and recon, amongst other things, when’s a guy to find a moment for himself?
So, now that I’ve got everything squared away, I can say I’m the happiest I’ve been in some time now. I was kind of miserable at first, just because I didn’t have control of things, but now it seems like autopilot has kicked in and everything is resolved.
I joined a CrossFit gym downtown, which has pulled me into a complete 180. My fitness level is skyrocketing, and everyday I feel absolutely amazing. I swapped my diet over to a paleolithic one, which is basically just lean meats, vegetables, and fruits. It’s tough giving up some ‘comfort foods’, such as rice and cereal, but as those don’t hold any real nutritional value to begin with, and only cause potential health problems down the road, so farewell. Basically it’s the same diet that our early ancestors followed (by necessity) many years ago. Because our genetic makeup hasn’t changed since then, our bodies are still geared towards this diet. I can already feel the effects of it, and it’s fantastic!
School starts tomorrow: Japanese, Psych, Chem, and Bio.
Tomorrow is also a jam session day. It’s been so long since I’ve played with other people, but I couldn’t be more excited about it.
I’ve been meeting a lot of cool new friends, many who share the same lifestyle and fitness goals as I do, which is great. Not only does it help keep me motivated, but we all have something useful to bring to the table.
This change to my life has really affected me for the better. I find it funny that no matter what happens to you in life, you always look back on yourself and laugh at how naive you used to be.
I’ve found the peace and happiness I was looking for. Fuck yes.
