Update

Wow its been a while since I've logged onto my blog but here is my update.

Risk management class is going well, I actually enjoy it alot more than the introductory class to project management. I'm learning alot about what can be applied to daily risks as well as how to mitigate risk.

I still haven't signed up for bike lessons, I'm not sure if I want to take that risk of gambling life after this class, but its still on the table.

Personal training has kind of left the table as I'm trying to focus more on project management since I wont be taking a year off from working anymore and will actually be starting work in August. I guess you can always make plans in life, but they will always be altered as you go - not necessarily in a bad way or good way... its just life.

Completed class 1 in project management and received an A!

Begin work August 2, 2010!

Relationship is going strong!

I don't know what more I can ask for now. Things seem to be on the bright side but I still must not lose focus on my goals.

My arm is healing and physical therapy has become once a week until I get full motion back. I see the doctor next Tuesday for hopefully, the final follow up.

CPR class will be taken soon, and becoming a personal trainer requires $500 of materials to study. Hm...

Why can't life just be simple and carefree? Maybe I think too much and need to be more proactive with my train of thoughts...

The business plan is being postponed because my partner and I have a slightly different vision from visioned.

My car is doing great, I'm getting the hang of it, but canyon driving is a whole different story.. do I have what it takes to practice?

Project management seems like the only thing that is moving forward although I need to be more attentive to absorb the new information and skills.

Bike lessons is still out of the picture until my arm is fully healed.

Along with all this mess being broke and useless isn't helping much either. How do I keep myself from feeling so low? I also noticed a few new wrinkles and poor skin... am I going through a crisis?

Too Much?

It wasn't until today I was sort of shook by how things have crept up on me. I've been living in the slow lane for the past two months and it feels like the World's turned upside down as I'm trying to adjust my daily activities. These activities are to help me bring me one step closer to my goals, but why do they feel so far away? Should I be making smaller goals instead of these big ones, or should I - just do it.

Project Management class feels like a bore, I feel like I need to get my hands on it in order to fully understand all the new terminology I'm learning.

I went to the orthopedic today and good news! The X-ray actually showed signs of bone growth. *whew* Although it will be another 5 weeks before my next visit, I am able to push my arm a lot more, and I'm more motivated than ever to spend more time each day stretching it.

I need to learn how to simplify and not think too far ahead, so I must keep telling myself, baby steps Grace, baby steps.

Patience....

Focus...

Just Do It!

If the Winds Change, Adjust Your Sails!

Starting off with my arm, It's still very limited and for some reason I feel the healing process is procrastinated because I am not motivated in working on it outside of therapy sessions. I need to overcome the prolonged pain.

Fourth week into class, I hope some of this information will stick with me. I try to keep reading every day so it will stick. C'mon brain, use some brain cells!

My car is doing better, I'm getting more use to driving manual and having fun at the same time. I hope it all pays off when my arm heals and I can test my limits on it. Or I can just go go karting and figure it out first =)

I looked up CPR/AED classes to get certified. At Red Cross they offer a 5 hour class in receiving it. It will be valid for one year and I'll need to get it before I can begin personal trainer lessons. So that is my next appointment on my agenda once my arm is well. Here I come!

Blues

Yesterday I encountered one of those days where you just feel under the weather. Literally, it was pouring out when I began to recap on my day, how things are going.

Studying is alot harder then I remembered. Its hard to stay focused and keep learning. I walked into 24 hour fitness and their motto was "Challenge yourself everyday to keep improving." I took it to heart with everything and sat on a bike machine for a full hour while reading. It was tough but felt great after completing.

Same goes with driving. I went up to the canyons and just drove. It really did feel good. I see myself improving everyday.

I need to keep in mind, everything takes time. Don't leap forward too fast, and stick with baby steps.

Planning

Since the start of this blog. I had three goals.
1. To get certified as a Project Manager
2. To get my bike license
3. To get certified as a Kickboxing instructor

These three goals have some how manipulated into more complex goals and I'm trying to keep them simple.

1. Taking classes and reading is one thing, but I need to find some way to apply the concept and skills. I want to somehow network into the sporting industry and work in a company I'll appreciate and love.

2. Biking classes can't start until my arm is completely healed. With this at stalemate, practicing manual has taken its place for now. Rev matching is definitely my challenge.

3. Looking into the industry and my wide range of advantages, I'm changing kickboxing to being a certified personal trainer instead. This way I can help people on a one to one basis to reach their goals and bodies they want. But first I need to reach my own goal.

Simple still right? Lets keep it at this for now and hopefully there will be more progress in the next few weeks.
