I'm slowing down of late. It's kind off depressing that I'm slowing down, and I'm not trying to give any excuses, but life has been really hectic of late.
I've just recent;y resigned from my existing employment of five (5) challenging but rewarding, years. Fortunately, I have also found, and confirmed employment with a better salary and better working hours, prior to my exit. Also, they were willing to wait out my notice period of 2 months!
In addition to that, I am also in the process of expanding my photography business. Hopefully that turns out better. Photography for me has been on a slight incline since my first job 2 years ago. The next year, I did marginally better. This is the third year, and things looks pretty good already!
Not to say I have stopped dancing. My dancing seems to have reached a different level. For good or bad, I still have much to prove. But a new thing occupies my mind of late - Salsa DJ-ing. I think I have what it takes to spin cool tunes and get people dancing. Of course to jump into it immediately is terribly difficult to say the least, since I'm already financially invested in my photography.
Anyways, enough of my ranting. I still need to find time to work out more regularly.
Todays work-out was really, really intense man. I consciously rested less and less between workouts I even raised weights slightly for the barbell squats and the chest press. I took slighty longer than 30 mins here but I totally pushed myself to the limit tonight.
