Been Movin' n Shakin'

Hey, Y'all, hope everyone has been doing well. I know I have been radio silent these past couple of weeks, but for good reason. Allow me to update y'all on what's been going on:

Since I last spoke with

@Paul Benjamin

and the rest of the guys on Zoom, I transferred departments at the company I work at (moved from Inside Sales to working out on the warehouse floor) and couldn't be happier with this choice. My tasks are straight forward and fairly simple, and I feel accomplished completing them. The best part is, unlike sales, the work does not follow me home, which is heavenly.

The hours and pay are awesome as well. I work 50-60 hours in the warehouse and can cover all of my expenses while still throwing the extra money into savings/investments/charity/fun spending.

Since work doesn't affect my personal time anymore, I know have 10-20 hours a week I devote to studying/recertifying as a Personal Trainer and going through

@Paul Benjamin

's modules. I'll be certified in 2-3 months; once I have that, I already know where I'll need to apply to acquire a job that will give me the best opportunity to build 1 on 1 training experience with clients (I spoke with several successful personal trainers I know in my area about where to start).

Next, I have also had several discussions with my MMA/Boxing coach about future business plans with him, and learning his craft so I can not only condition his fight guys, but also become proficient enough to have me as a coach (This will help me long term because I want to eventually specialize as a trainer of combat athletes).

Here is what my weekdays have been looking like:

4-5 AM: Study PT

5-6 AM: Get ready for work

7-5 PM: Work

6:30-8:30: Combat Training, Church classes, or Free Mason practice (Depends on the Day)

9:30-10 PM: Bed Time (If earlier, even better)

Saturdays I'll either work Overtime till 5, or if I have social plans already set, I'll take the day off and do those.

Sundays are rest days. Will do Zone 2 Cardio for an hour Saturday and Sunday since I won't be combat training.

All in all, I am very happy with my schedule, where I am at in life, and where it is going to take me as I continue to put in the work. I want to thank everyone who has given me advice and encouragement to help me get here. I can feel it; this is the starting point of that moment you look back on and say "This is where it all started."

God Bless and have a nice day.
