Last Day of Fyrescape 2 and not satisfied

Hello! I haven't blogged at all. This whole Fyrescape 2 journey has really gotten away from me. To be perfectly honest, my surgery from last September, that really did a number on me. My recovery time was only 6 to 8 weeks, so I gave myself until November to be totally 100%. That was a huge bust! Why? Because ya I was walking around without my cane by then and pretty much back to normal, but my incision area on my lower abdomen, that was still in pain. Not really bad, but like I couldn't lay on my stomach and I couldn't run, or stretch. I was very limited in mobility and I was afraid to really lift heavy things during this time. Whenever I started to push myself, I could feel this throbbing feeling around my incision area. I did my walks on occasion but not everyday like I wanted to. Things just got so busy for me in my life that I didn't even keep up with my blogs. Christmas came around and it was great, but just so busy. Then when the holidays were over, my life jus

A NEW JOB

So one of the biggest parts of Fyrescape is success not just in exercising or mental health, but in all aspects of my life. Today, after 3 years of being unemployed (and that's actual company employment, I'm actually self-employed which is how I make my living) I landed a job :D Since my buddy, Lisa, started Nursing School in January, I have been frantically trying to find work. I do my self-employment, but that was only helpful when Lisa was working because I didn't bring in much money. Right now, my situation has required a full-time job to pay our bills so since January I've been looking everywhere for something. Well today, I got an interview with Smiths. It went really well and before my interview was over.....I LANDED THE JOB!!!! Wooohoooo!!!!!! Oh man I am so happy about it. Finally after months of looking, I finally got the job!! So I told everyone and they are all happy for me. My mom is beyond ecstatic and my grandparents are both very happy and proud. My

TODAY I GOT A NEW CAR

On Friday night (1.15.2016), my truck died on me :'( Timing belt broke! In other words, dead in the water. That was my Only vehicle and at the time I was looking for work and my best pal, Skye, is starting Nursing School the following Monday. She uses my truck so she was very worried and angry. I told her we needed to be thankful that my old truck lasted all that time and got her to her last day of work. Now me, I was not worried because I knew God was always there. I was scared, however, because of everything especially on Saturday morning when I woke up. So I went out into the field by my place and I prayed. I said to God how thankful I was for His many blessings. I thanked Him for my truck and the time that I had it. Then, I asked Him to please help me in my situation. I put my trust in Him as I always do. That was Saturday morning (1.16.16). Saturday night (1.16.16), my mom called me and asked me to come over to their place. When I did, they talked with me for a bit about a

Day Two Hundred Thirty Six - 2015 FIBC Christmas Program

Today was the Christmas Program and it was AWESOME!!! The puppet skits were amazing and everyone did such a great job! The audience loved it and everyone is already looking forward to next year's program. Me personally, I don't know for sure what we're going to do, if we do it, but I'm sure whatever is decided will be even better than this year ;)

Day Two Hundred Thirty Five

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS WAS AN EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!!!!! Omgosh that movie was so good and so sad :'( I'm serious, I was really trying to hold back tears on that one scene. Dang that movie was really good. I think the better than that entire prequel trilogy. I'm looking forward to the next one. Dang we only got a couple hours sleep last night. Lisa and I didn't end up going to bed until almost 2am. Then we had to get up at 5 and meet my family at Dennys at 6am. We actually got there before they did haha. But it was fun! We had some great conversation and laughs at breakfast this morning. Then afterwards, we headed to the Allen 8 theater. We got there just about 7am. The ppl were already lining up. We had to stay outside in the cold for an entire hour. My mom and brother were freezing lol. It was fun though. My dad saw all this work buddies. It was cool seeing him interact with all his friends. Everyone knew him and my mom. Very cool. We had a great time, even thoug

Day Two Hundred Thirty Four

Ok today was Bills Day! But, we only paid one bill and our loans. That is it! The rest of the money is ours for Christmas. I'm not about to give all our money to bills and not have a good holiday. Screw that! We didn't walk this morning. We had to get to town and take care of business. We did lots of runarounds and got everything paid. Then we paid back everyone we borrowed from this week. Lisa paid back her aunt and I paid back grandpa. Then we had lunch at the casino. That was great! Afterwards, we played a bit at the machines before Lisa had to go to work. Oh man, that lady who works at the casino...she looked so good today. Plus, I caught her once again looking at me twice. I know she notices me. I just don't know if she likes me, or just looks at me for whatever reason. She seems me looking at her all the time, not like a creeper or anything, but just as an admirable glance kinda thing. She is gorgeous! Just my type. Anyway I took Lisa to work then I headed home t

Day Two Hundred Thirty Three

Did 3 miles this morning again! Feels great. My feet don't hurt. I mean, I'll feel it but it's not painful like when I first started walking after recovery. They hurt so bad after I sat down a while. That was crazy! So now, I feel great and things are much better. Also my right knee hasn't been feeling crappy in a while now. I feel great! I want to start using the Bowflex and getting back to DDP yoga so bad, but I am so afraid. You know, my recovery took longer than expected. I have said this whole time that my recovery ended the last day in October. Well that was not true! Ya that's when the doctor told me that my recovery was over, but that's not when I was feeling better because to this day, I still feel a really weird and sensitive feeling right where my incision was. I mean, it sometimes hurts, like if I lay on my stomach for a while, then roll over to get up. I really feel it and it doesn't feel good. Simetimes it scares me, like I feel like the herni
