Filling In The Gaps..

So what the hell have I been up to the past few weeks. Well for all the people who think you turn pro and then live this exotic lifestyle are sadly mistaken, but I knew this years ago. After winning and then doing the photo shoots with Per in Cali, when I got back to Jersey it was back to business. Back to the every day grind that overwhelms my life. Just because my status as an amatuer had changed those trials and tribulations that I have or had in my life still exist. I have been pro now for more than a month, if I could tell you how many people ask me "How does it feel to be a pro" you would die. But my answer has yet to change, because truth is, it still hasn't hit me or set in yet. How could it set in, I haven't given it a chance, with the holidays, and getting right back into work and catching up I haven't had time to rest yet and let anything set in. What I have been doing is re examining my life. So I am an IFBB pro now what? Now I want to accomplish another goal that I have been putting off which is take my test so I can get certified to teach. For those of you that don't know much about me I graduated with a History degree, one that was supposed Education/History, but because of poor counseling by my college I had to drop the education part and graduate with a BA in History. I am signing up for my Praxis test and go alternate route and try and teach which has been my dream job since I was in college. Now that I have furthered my career as a pro bodybuilder I need to further my life and aspirations. I have never put bodybuilding first and that is why I think I have come this far in the sport, there is fine line between bodybuilding and real life, and if you can't separate the two it can be tough. I have sacrificed a lot in the past 5 years as a competitive bodybuilder, but I have to say I also have sacrificed a lot for others as well. My life order does not put bodybuilding number one. It's God, Family, Health, Relationship, Friends, Job, Bodybuilding. And because I separate them all and give them all attention I believe it helps me prosper not only as an athlete but as an individual.
There is a lot more in store for the new year I can guarantee that. I have a lot more things to accomplish this year and I am really exciting starting off the new year with one foot forward. I will write more tomorrow about my training and up and comings. Until then.
DON'T BLINK-YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU WILL MISS
