Day 18 - GOOOAAALLL!!!! 10-14-2009

This was a very good day!
When you are on a journey...quest....thingy you look towards milestones as a gauge of success. Like Wilt Chamberlin when he slept with his thousandth woman then it was onto 5k, 10k, 15k it only motivated him to get to 20,000 and beyond or the guy who first deep fried a Snickers then an Oreo, a Twinkie was only motivated to find more things eventually being able to achieve deep frying actual Coca Cola....inspirational - what about Joe Biden it seems impossible to be able to stay focused on saying stupid things with out hitting those milestones of 0ne million, 2 million stupid quotes. The point being is I fell below the 300 pound mark today, over the last 5 years I have been close but never got below 300 and it has always frustrated me. Even last week I went only from 309 to 304 and I got anxious about sitting at 300ISH for weeks even though I am fasting it kept creeping into my mind - DAMN YOU BRAIN! 300 is my first milestone like the two stewardesses from Milwaukee, or the deep fried White Castle cheeseburger or this Joe Biden special "In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking".
I am on the right path.
On to my day - I woke up to a favorable result on the scale and headed off to the Y for back to back classes with super trainer Sheryl and I was joined by Super wife Cheryl it was amesome had a great workout.
In the afternoon Hannah had a school volleyball game they lost but she was amesome - in her coaches infinate wisdow they sat her the first half of the second game till the score was 24-11 and then they put her into serve and she ran off 12 serves over (10 were aces) in a row to bring them to the brink before she got broke - it was amazing - I was so proud.
Then I got to play with both my Wendsday night soccer teams - I dropped Lebo off at soccer practice at 5:50 raced to the Castle played game one with Whee! - very fun because it has my favorite soccer teammates Christy, Jill and Jamie - we probably lost I can't remember but it was fun. Then I got back to pickup Lebo from practice and get him to church to make it to my 8:45 game with Fusion - we have not been very good the last several sessions but we did make the playoffs this time - we were playing against the super arrogant Code Brown team they are supposedly made up of a bunch of doctors and health care workers, not my favorite team. it was a great battle it got a little chippy at times and the play was pretty intense and physical. We were leading 2-0 with about 3 minutes to go and they scored...we got nervous because the last time we played them they came back and tied us at the last possible second -it sucked - not this time we said - as time ticked away with about 10 seconds left our goalie dribbles a ball into the corner.... our guy doesn't move there is no place to go.... the ball gets loose.... 5, 4, 3.... thats right they score....I did the only thing I could think of at the time to drop the loudest F bomb I have ever uttered....twice - not a proud moment and fairly out of character for me. To make a very long story short we ended up winning the game in overtime -it felt amazing - I play a lot of games every week and even though you really want to win it is mostly about just playing and having fun - this was one of those games you just really wanted to WIN and it felt GOOD!
Then I went to work and eneded a great day!
Talk to you soon!
Joe
Peace!
