Well, here I am in a new year - what has changed? I am making a concerted effort to eat healthier. I'm ditching the Doritio's (mostly) and the junk food, giving up late night snacking - and most importantly (and most enjoyably) I am making a deeper commitment to getting to the gym (dojo) to train. So far, so good. In fact, so excellent. My fruit/vegetable intake has doubled, junk snacks have been almost entirely absent, and I have been a regular at the gym.
The eating healthy thing is harder - I don't mind eating fruit and veggies, but I love junk food. Still, I am enjoying the experience so far. Working out has been exciting - our club has just begun to introduce Brazilian Jujitsu to the schedule! I can't get enough of it.
Anything else different? Not really. I am still wrestling with the continuing education. Time and money, and the unfortunate reality that a Masters degree doesn't exactly open any job opportunities, but it does cost a lot of money to get. I'm not sure if it is something I should be throwing my limited resources towards, but for a lack of a better option I guess I will continue to pluck away at it. At least it is something to work towards.
Overall, I feel that I am just spinning my tires - not really getting anywhere. Of course, who says I should have to get anywhere? But it would be nice to have a goal to work towards. This whole losing my faith thing has brought some career challenges. Having spent years training for and being involved in christian ministry, I suddenly have to face the fact that my education is next to useless and I need to find a new career path to support my family. Well, a new year, new opportunities, I suppose.
I have just registered for another course in my masters degree (that would be #2): Before & Beyond the Gospels
It should be reasonably interesting - perhaps I might learn something!
