Hi, my life went from zero to sixty.

Before this week, every day of my life was pretty fucking lame. Weekdays, I get up and go to work, then go home at 5pm and watch movies or TV by myself until it was bedtime. Wake up, repeat. Weekends I would typically do not much more than watch more movies at home. Sounds relaxing, right? Mostly it was just boring.

This week I started kickboxing again. I kickboxed for a little more than a year, then stopped in May of 2007, to try to save some money to buy a house. Thirty pounds gained and much strength lost later (I used to be able to do 43 pushups in a minute - now I can do 17), I decided it was high time to get my jiggly fatass back to the gym.

I also started a business planning workshop. This is only once a week for the next month, and there’s also homework (writing the business plan, doing research).

And while I was living my lame sedentary life of doing mindless stuff alone, I started laying the groundwork for being more social. Which consisted of watching wrestling on Monday nights with a group of friends. I don’t like wrestling, it’s just an excuse to get together with people. And I started a game night with another group of friends, where we play Scrabble and make fun of each other.

So. This past Sunday night was the start of the kickboxing fitness program. Monday after work I kickboxed for an hour and then attended the wrestling gathering. Tuesday night was 2 hours of working out. Wednesday was an hour of kickboxing and an hour or so of helping my mom’s friend figure out how to make the iPod she just bought work. Tonight I had a 3 hour business planning workshop session. Friday night I will be playing Scrabble and making fun of my friends. Saturday I will work out for 2 hours, go to some medical fair thing with my mom and her friend, visit my 1 year old niece for awhile, and then go to a birthday party in the evening at a casino/hotel. Sunday I will do my laundry, wash my dishes, clean up my house, and basically take care of everything else I’ve had no time for this week. And try to put in some time on starting my business plan and figure out what I need to research for it.

Makes me kinda miss just watching movies and TV. But it’s a good thing I guess.
