WELL IT IS ALMOST SUMMER TIME AND IT HAS BEEN AWHILE SINCE MY LAST UPDATE SO I WANT TO LET YOU ALL KNOW WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IN RAVISHING’S LIFE RECENTLY.
FIRST, I AM STILL UNEMPLOYED AND HAVE BEEN OVER A YEAR. I DO HAVE AN INTERVIEW WITH CVS NEXT WEEK SO I AM HOPING THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO A MANAGER’S POSITION. CVS OFFERS A 3-5 YEAR TRAINING PROGRAM TO TRAIN FUTURE LEADERS FOR THE COMPANY. UPON COMPLETION OF THIS PROGRAM I WOULD BE A DISTRICT MANAGER BUT MANY THINGS HAVE TO BE ACCOMPLISHED BEFORE HAND. AT LEAST THIS SEEMS POSITIVE AND A STRONG POSSIBILITY. THE PAST YEAR I HAVE APPLIED TO MANY COMPANIES AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INTERVIEWS BUT NOTHING CAME FROM THEM. MORE DETAILS TO COME.
SECOND, MY WIFE PAM WAS OFFERED A PART-TIME POSITION AT HER CHURCH, WATERS CHURCH (HTTP://NORTHATTLEBORO.WATERSCHURCH.ORG ) A SHORT TIME AGO AS A CHILDREN’S MINISTRY LEADER. THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW HER KNOW THAT IS HER GIFT AS SHE HAS BEEN IN CHILD CARE FOR OVER 25 YEARS AS A VOLUNTEER, TEACHER AND DIRECTOR. SHE IS STILL WORKING FULL-TIME FOR NEXT GENERATIONS CHILDREN’S CENTER’S AS A TEACHER AND HAS BEEN SINCE 2007 (HTTP://WWW.NGCCENTERS.COM ).
THIRD, TODAY I OFFICIALLY STARTED NUTRISYSTEM AND PLAN TO CONTINUE IT BECAUSE I HAVE WEIGHT I NEED TO LOOSE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PAST YEAR I GAINED WEIGHT SINCE I WAS UNEMPLOYED AND NON ACTIVE SO WITH MY HEART CONDITION I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO LOOSE THIS WEIGHT. NUTRISYSTEM IS A PROVEN WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM SO IF I STICK IT OUT I CAN SHED OFF THESE POUNDS AND LOOK RAVISHING AGAIN (LOL).

ALONG WITH DOING THE NUTRISYSTEM I RESIGNED UP AT PLANETFITNESS WHICH IS NEARBY LOCALLY. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GET EXERCISE WHILE DIETING BECAUSE I WANT MY HEART TO STAY IN SHAPE. DUE TO THE LACK OF EXERCISE AND WEIGHT GAIN I HAVE GOTTEN MORE TIRED AND LAZY. WITH MY HEART MEDICATION I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET MORE TIRED BECAUSE I JUST MIGHT SLEEP FOR DAYS (LOL). SO THE PAST WEEK I HAVE BEEN WORKING OUT EVERY OTHER DAY AND PLAN TO CONTINUE WORKING OUT SO I WILL NOT HAVE ANY OTHER PHYSICAL ISSUES. MY GOAL IS TO LOOSE OVER 80 LBS AND KEEP MY BODY LEAN AND IN SHAPE SO I CAN LIVE A MORE PRODUCTIVE LIFE PHYSICALLY. I AM FORTUNATE THAT MY HEART IS FUNCTIONING AT LOWER NORMAL AND THAT I HAVE NOT PUT TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON IT WITH THE WEIGHT GAIN AND INACTIVITY. I WILL BE SEEING MY CARDIOLOGIST AT THE END OF THE MONTH SO I AM SURE HE WILL BE GLAD WHAT I AM DOING. I AM WORKING OUT MY LEGS, ARMS, TORSO AND OF COURSE WORKING ON CARDIO. I HAVE A LOT OF WORK AHEAD OF ME BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO LOOSE IT SINCE I AM 42YRS OLD. I AM NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER SO THE TIME IS NOW TO WORK ON THIS BODY. I JUST PICTURE WHAT I COULD LOOK LIKE IN A YEAR FROM NOW AND THAT MAKES ME WANT TO DO IT. I WANT TO LOOK “RAVISHING”. LOL

I AM BOWLING IN A SUMMER LEAGUE THIS YEAR WHICH IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE DONE SO. I FINISHED THE 2010-2011 SEASON WITH A 177 AVG WHICH WAS DOWN FROM MY 194 AVG AFTER THE 2009-2010 SEASON. I BELIEVE THE DECLINE IN AVERAGE HAD SEVERAL FACTORS WHICH INCLUDED CHANGING BOWLING BALLS, GAINING WEIGHT, BEING INACTIVE AND LACK OF CONCENTRATION. IT IS AMAZING SOME OF THE SIDE EFFECTS OF MY MEDICINE BUT WHEN EVERYTHING IS OFF THAT SEEMS NOT TO HELP ME.
THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS IN THE SUMMER LEAGUE I SEEMED TO STRUGGLE WITH JUST GETTING MY 177 AVERAGE BUT LAST WEEK AFTER SPENDING A WEEK BACK AT THE GYM WORKING OUT I AVERAGED A 215. I THINK THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE A REASON BUT I FELT GOOD, STRONG AND FOCUSED. I HOPE AND BELIEVE IT WILL CONTINUE. I KNOW MY TEAMMATES WERE HAPPY BECAUSE I WAS EXCITED TO FINALLY HAVE A GOOD NIGHT BOWLING. ANYWAY, STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO. JUST ONE NIGHT DOES NOT MEAN MUCH BUT I AM HOPING IT IS A GOOD SIGN OF THINGS TO COME.
ANOTHER EVENT WAS THAT PAM AND I CELEBRATED OUR 22ND WEDDING ANNIVERSARY ON JUNE 3RD WHICH IS A MILESTONE NOW A DAYS. HARD TO BELIEVE THAT 22 YEARS HAVE GONE BY SO FAST. I GUESS TIME GOES BY SO FAST WHEN YOU ARE HAVING FUN………..LOL
FINALLY, MY SISTER RACHAEL AND HER HUSBAND MARK WILL BE HAVING THEIR FIRST CHILD SOMETIME IN JULY AND I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING AN UNCLE AGAIN. WORD IS THAT SHE WILL HAVE A BOY SO IT WOULD BE THE FIRST BOY IN THE FAMILY. ONLY NIECES SO FAR SO IT WOULD BE A GREAT THING FOR A BOY TO COME ALONG.
WELL THAT IS IT FOR NOW SO TUNE IN BECAUSE I AM SURE I WILL BE UPDATING SOME INFORMATION SOON.
THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND CONTINUED SUPPORT!
