As some of you may know I’ve been under a microscope at work, in fact they’ve been trying to get rid of me for nearly 2 years. They pushed out my boss last year and several other of my coworkers earlier this year. So it came as no surprise to me yesterday when I had my yearly review that they put me on 90 days probation. I think them firing me is a foregone conclusion, there’s nothing I can do to change that, and honestly I don’t care since I no longer wish to be employed there after the way they’ve treated myself and fellow coworkers.
Anyway, I was joking around with some of the guys at work and somebody mentioned that I should start the P90X workout program, since I’m gonna be fired in 90 days anyway why not do it with washboard abs?! What started as a joke soon became serious. We talked more and more about it, how it’d be a great way to get back at them and a great thing to document.
So here I am on day one. Work gave my 90 days and I’m throwing it back in their face, I’m changing my life, building a better Ernie, in 90 days I may be out of a job but I’ll be a totally new person, and they’ll still be the same petty people working the same horrible job. So, I’m starting this blog as a part of this journey, to document it for myself and for others. So, wish me luck, send me good vibes and good thoughts (and any good diet tips if ya got ‘em) It’ll be a long, tough journey but one worth taking.
The last 90 days of my old job, the first 90 days of my new life!
Erknee! I'm so happy for you! This is going to be a great journey! It's a drag to go to work everyday when the morale is so twisted. P90X is no joke but I believe in you and I know you can do it. My advice to you is really listen during each session. Only do what your body can handle, it will become easier and easier as the sessions go on. STRETCH! Drink lots of WATER and no beer does not count! The stretching session is my favorite. Wow I'm very excited to read your blog and watch your progress. Awesome choice.
ReplyDeleteLove and well wishes, positive Mojo and JuJU headed your way!
Love Always! Vero"Knee"ca!
Great! I don't recommend the diet, because it is WAY too low in carbs so the workouts will be too hard to complete without enough carb in your system. I'm doing P90X too! We can compare notes! For each session, write down the cheesiest things the guy says... Oh my....!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the positive energy and faith guys! It really helps! the yoga part kinda kicked my ass, I think it was worse part, after that it got easy!
ReplyDeleteOh, Tony, we love your cheesy comments! I like how once he said "gotta check on the kids", while referring to the people that are working out behind him. "How ya kids doin'?" At least it makes it kinda fun, but man cheesy music!
Hahahahaha! The kids! Or how are ya doing boys and girls? I gotta turn down my own music and start writing down these things, so we can compare notes. Yeah! The yoga is pretty tough & realllly long! But it's good.
