Onward

I haven't blogged in a pretty long time. Aside from working a ton and doing things with my boys life goes on. I have been on winter break from work for a month now and feel like I have no time and haven't accomplished a whole lot.

I am just about ready to give up on finding a job with the ministry. However I have opened myself to new options. I will be taking the ATS test for special constables in January. I am sure that will go very well. It could help to push me ahead and hopefully get in at the ministry. There are so many of us out there and not very many jobs open right now. It sucks. So I continue to work for a private company and work as a security guard as well.

So as I prep for the physical part of this test I have looked at where I am right now. Over the summer I haven't worked out very much, though my job keeps me moving. During this time I haven't really gained any weight (thank god) and I can deal with what I have, I also haven't really lost much muscle tone either. So win-win there. I know I can pass this test no problem.

38 push ups; 50 curl ups; flexibility test and the beep test. The beep test is the only one I am dreading. I hate running, unless someone or thing is chasing me! Even then I think I would rather stand and fight! So back to circuit training I go. I have done this test for school and passed then so I am sure I will again. Back then I was not in the shape that I am now.

This test will also allow me to try to get a job at the court house or as a security guard working for good money and possibly benefits. I need to make decent money, after all I am raising two boys. It would be nice to work just one or two jobs part time, or one good one full time. Working as many hours as I have been totally sucks!

So wish me luck.
