Rebellion

For some reason rebellion to stay awake while the rest sleep is one of my many Achilles heels. I am the only girl I know who watches The Contender on her down time. Maybe I should meet more people. Maybe it is not a common recreational activity. Have you heard of this show? Yeah, so, I'm so behind the times that I catch up on past shows about 5-7 years after they come out. I would like to publicly thank you tube for all it's wonderful goodness which includes the most random yet helpful videos, clips, Disney movies, and even television series, such as this. It's about boxers from all different walks of life, some rookies, underdogs, professionals; all come from different age groups and backgrounds, and they are fighting for the chance to become The Contender, win bank, and have the opportunity to professionally progress as a force to reckon with/boxer. That could not be done in such an efficient time frame than without this honor and title.

This show was created and produced by Sylvester Stallone. If you're human and seen Rocky, it's basically a come-to-life opportunity to have anyone with the skill, heart, and drive to be in charge of their own destiny, and if that's what they are made of, then why not beat the odds of the impeding circumstances that surround them?

  If I were a guy, I'd probably be a boxer. All I know is that every time I watch an episode I want to go run around the block for 45 minutes, pull to use my dusty jump rope to exhaust my lungs, and put Vaseline all over my face as I adjust my unpurchased mouthpiece. Yes, I took it a little too far, sorry.

Today I was gone from my house for over 12 hours, yet, I did not fall asleep in one class. I really need to look into sleeping more. I run on about 4 hours of sleep a night on average. If you've read any of my previous blogs you'll know that night is my time to think and reflect. During the day it can be boring, except, I have this rebellion against naps, like it's more of a waste of time than smelling the roses. 

I put myself on a diet the other day...I believe it was Monday. So far, so good. I've put on, oh, you know, a few pounds since I moved to Utah back in the day...when I was 18. (I'm 25 so you figure out the math. Granted, don't forget I was on a mission for a while.) From my calculations, I have to loose about...hmm...give or take 40 pounds to be at the weight that I had when I first arrived to the boxy shaped state of Utah. I have to say that I am more energetic and feel so much better since I started. My plan? Eat a lot of salad. Stay away from sugar. I'm going to add lots of sleep and The Contender watching as part of my remedy. It's nice when you have the authority to act as a doctor. I trust me. That counts. 

Oh, and in case you want to be "in the know" this is the episode I'm currently on. Season 3. Enjoy!

( I suggest starting from the beginning--like any good book. Like any good t.v.-show-watcher, the first episode is where you want to be. Just sayin'.)
