Blakkbox Lifestyle

So I’ve been slacking pretty hard on this blog. I won’t lie. But not entirely without some decent excuses, although to be fair all excuses are usually pretty lame.

One of the main reasons for my lack of updates is because I broke my hand about a week after my last post in September – a “boxers fracture,” according to the doc – and its been healing for the last 6 weeks. Believe me, typing is a pain in the ass when you can’t move your pinky finger. It’s a tragic story and I won’t delve too deeply into the details but let’s just say my fist had an unfortunate run-in with a face. Note: For the record, it was a bad decision and I don’t encourage that type of behavior. Unless its sanctioned and regulated. Or someone really deserves it. 

I also started working at a local supplement store which is unlike any other supplement store you’ve been to, guaranteed. For one all the employees are required to be N.A.S.M. (National Academy of Sports Medicine) certified personal trainers and fitness nutrition specialists. And the store pays for those certifications, which I think we can all agree is pretty legit. So now when I tell you how to eat and how to train I’ll actually have a little bit of accreditation backing me up.

I’m pretty excited about the opportunities this will bring me down the road and I see it as a stepping stone to the life I want to live. It’s a struggle for me to not always think in the immediate present and to try and view the larger picture of my own life – but I think this is definitely a step in the right direction. That’s it for now, stay tuned for more updates.
