Things have been good these past couple of days. I have been working, working out, and overall my blood sugars seem to be pretty stable. Life is not too bad at the moment. Just as many of you, I have my good and bad days. I wanted to take the chance today to write about the good. Work is, well, work. At times it plays havoc with my sugar and it can be very stressful, but overall I am satisfied. At the end of the day or the end of the work week life gets instantly better. As soon as I walk out the door and I'm on my way to doing something non-work related, the problems I had disappear. Which leads me to my ultimate stress relief time - my workouts.

Lately, my training sessions have been very enjoyable. I am working out with some friends of mine helping them prepare for their mixed martial arts fights that are coming up soon. Three to four times a week we meet up and push each other to our limits. We train kickboxing, wrestling, and blast out cardio workouts that make you want to fall to the floor. These sessions indirectly aid in improving my entire life. It pushes me into becoming stronger physically, mentally, and it helps me maintain better glucose control. Besides that stuff, everything else in my personal life is going ok, too.

I'll be spending some time with my girlfriend and my family this weekend and that is the most important thing to me in the end. As long as my family is happy then so am I. We will probably get together and do some work outside, and finish the weekend with some good food and a fire. Finally, I hope to continue working towards finding out more information about our potential move and I look forward to our new beginnings.
