Although I complained about it a lot, I am glad I did this. I think it is something that has changed my life forever. I agree with the statement that change is scary but so are a lot of other great things in life. Change is inevitable and can be a good thing if it is for the right reason.

Crazy Week
What a crazy week! I have been offered a new job, quit my old job and and testing for an even newer job. When it rains it pours.
I am now a ski instructor at a ski resort in Illinois and am going to have to move either next week or the week after. I look forward to this new adventure and look forward to the possible prospects on the horizon.
I am in a great mind space now and think that things are on the up and up.

Polar Plunge
Research paper final draft
Although I may never end up on a full time fire department, I really enjoy my time of the paid per call department I am on now. My asthma may stop me from pursuing a full time career at firefighting but I will not allow it to stop me from doing it at all. Asthma can be a very scary disease but something that can be managed if taken care of properly. Taking medication along with a good health plan, I can do whatever I set my mind to.

Final thoughts
Final quest thoughts......
I am at mixed emotions that this is nearing the end of the quest. I have learned a lot about myself and learned how to organize and prioritize my life.
I have saved some money and gotten into better health. I have made some great friends along the way too. I have a group of friends that have been working out with me and we enjoy it. It makes it a lot easier to do it when you enjoy what you are doing.
I think I failed a bit though. I didn't work out as much as I should have but stayed within my quest goals. I thought in the beginning that I would work out more than that but am glad that I broke it down to time in a week instead of having to work out every day.
The beginning was hard. I had to learn how to plan my day to accomodate the work out. The beginning of the quest I found myself rushing to get the work out in on time but now it is easier.
I am glad I did this. I wish I would have started something like this sooner. I can not believe that it took a Comp class to get me into better shape.
Change is scary but an inevitable part of life. I think that other people can learn to embrace change and go with it. You can end up in a better place after all.

Quest
Things are status quo. I have been working out and going to the gym as much as I can but it has been hard. I have been working a lot lately and spending a lot of time at the fire station. I have now joined the team to do the Polar Plunge and am looking forward to it.
I hope that it isn't too cold that day but it should be fun with the brothers from the fire station.
