NO EXCUSES: BIG DREAMS NEED BIG SACRIFICES
Sunday July 19th, 2026
Good Afternoon All. This morning I did the Weight And Strength Training Class at the gym. I noticed I am more cautious when doing Deadlifting as my back bothers me. I didn't mention it to the coach because I think I need to figure out how to get better form on my own. I think it involves working more on bracing and working on my core.

Good Afternoon All. This morning I worked from 10 to 12 with an amazing client. I went shopping for my client.
After work I wandered around the farmers market in James Bay and then tried a smash burger combo at Murder Burger in James Bay. I am glad I tried the smash burger combo but I wouldn't go to Murder Burger again. I found the music too loud inside. I also just didn't like the look inside Murder Burger either. I chose to sit outside on the patio which was more relaxing. Here are the photos I took.
Anyways that's all to write. Oh wait I also signed up to see a Counselor again because Therapy will be beneficial for my life. And I know my Boxing Coach wants me going to counseling and seeing a therapist. I actually feel like it is an expectation from him. Counseling is not going to work though unless I actually put in the effort and work and taking counseling seriously. I sent my boxing coach a message asking why I am supposed to be seeing a counselor. I haven't gotten a response back yet. I was hoping to get an answer from my Boxing Coach so I that I can make my answer better in the intake form about why counseling (Therapy) would be beneficial for me.

What Did I Do Today? I went to the gym this morning for the 6am Class. Good Class. After the gym I was able to make a Same Day Doctors Appointment. I do have a cyst on top of the bunion on my left foot. For cyst before the consideration of surgery I am going to use Voltairean for two weeks to see if that gets rid of the cyst. I have minor surgery on my right foot on August 7th to have an ingrown toenail removed. After the doctors appointment I bought headphones at the pharmacy. Then I went to Walmart and bought some stuff and I bought some items at Shoppers Drug Mart. I also had Boxing today.

Today I worked from 130pm to 430pm. Good shift today. I cleaned my clients place. I made my clients bed, did laundry, put away laundry, swept and mopped floors, cleaned the bathroom, did vacuuming in the living room, fold blankets in the living room, put dishes in the dishwasher and started the dishwasher and took out the recycling and garbage. Good Shift.

Good Morning All and Bonjour. I need to work at being more Bilingual. I have a nephew and niece who will be totally bilingual. They have to be as half of their family lives in Quebec and only speaks French. I have a goal to list things I am grateful for each day because I want to be happier.
What Am I Grateful For?
- Waking Up
- Having Quiet Time To Drink Coffee
- My Computer
- My Cellphone
- Going To The Gym And Doing The Weight And Strength Training Class
- Coach Cam
What I am doing today? I am going to go to the gym, work, hopefully go for a run and do a cold plunge after work. I also want to apply for jobs today and work on math. So I went to the gym this morning. Good Class with Coach Cam. I should have arrived a few minutes earlier but oops oh well. I have to be more careful when deadlifting right now because something is off with my Back when I deadlift. I have to try bracing more and have a strong core. I only used yellow plates today during deadlifts. After the gym I worked today in Esquimalt for 4 hours. Kind of brought back memories because when I stopped working due to the Car Crash my last job site was in Esquimalt. Now I am sitting in McDonalds. I just applied for 4 jobs. My goal is to apply for at least 4 jobs daily. I applied for a Two Medical Office Administration Jobs. I applied for a Vet Reception Job and I applied for a job at a brewing company because in the job description it mentioned forklifting.
I am going to go the beach now. I have a sore back and sore feet and I feel I need to start doing cold plunges.

Good Afternoon All. Been a little while since I blogged last. I haven't crocheted or knitted for a bit. I need to start keeping a gratitude journal of the good things in life on a daily basis. Might as well start today.
