The Pheonix is reborn.

So, 7 years since my last post. That's pretty crazy. My life didn't go anywhere really until the last month and a half. I'll update for now as opposed to catching up on the last 7 years of my life.

First off, I gained 70 pounds after getting out of the Marines and was jobless for the past year and a half. I started talking to a girl who needed a shoulder and I was that for her. She inadvertently made me realize a lot of things about myself. She told me she wanted to be a stay at home mom. I don't care what anyone thinks in regards to this, but it really hit home for me. This is what I want for a wife. And how can I do this if I am not A. Financially stable B. Emotionally Stable. C. Healthy D. Morally stable. So I made a decision 40 days ago to make a change in my life. I started to focus on my diet and started a thing called nofap which basically entails that you don't masturbate. She has supported me throughout and she is realistically everything that I would want in a woman. So I fell in love. Its been rough as she doesn't return the feelings and more than likely doesn't want to return the feelings. She loves me like a friend, and its nice but I won't let it end there, I'll give it a go and try and meet up with her one day, and be everything she needs, just as she has been everything I need now. Since I started 40 days ago, I have lost 26.8 pounds from a start of 246.8(220.0 currently). I have gotten a job, albeit a low pay job. I have started my resume for a good paying job and I, for the first time in my life, have started setting goals.

My short term goals.
A. Get a good paying job for the long term.
B. Exercise and get up to 3.2 miles in 2 monthes
C. Do pushups and get to 100 in 2 monthes(without breaks)
D. Be at 180 pounds by December 21st
E. Have enough money to go to a friends wedding then.

My slightly longer term goals
A. Go on a date with the girl.
B. Get down to 160ish pounds with a four or six pack.(April 29th, 2013)
C. Have a house by the time I am 28(25 right now)
D. Finish College.


End Goals
A. Be a true man, in every since of the word.
B. Marry and have kids.
C. Work

Thats me for now. Who knows where life will lead me? I do.
