IJCH - Inside JaiChai's Head
(Meaning: My Warped, Personal Opinions and Musings)
From the Author:
Salutations.
I am JaiChai.
And if I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you before, I'm delighted to make your acquaintance now.
I invite you to interact with everyone, learn, and have as much fun as possible!
For my returning online friends, "It's always great to see you again!"
Been Slacking Lately
I'll admit it.
I've been slacking on the fitness front lately. Well...not just lately, but for over two and a half months!
Why?
Long story short, I broke up with my longterm girlfriend. And the reasons are far too private and numerous to list here.
Suffice it to say that after many years of trying (six years and four months, to be exact), my stubborn, bonehead Marine brain finally realized that it was time to end it and move on.
I'm no longer a spring chicken with loads of time to waste.
That's why I decided that it was best to separate as friends now; instead of risking an ugly break-up later.
The Post Separation Slut Period (Extended Version)
So there I was, a guy with no girlfriend and lots of time on his hands.
And like most men in that situation, I went stupid crazy on the late nights, booze, and all the mischief that I could think of at the time.
It was surreal.
There seemed to be an endless queue of women eager to provide a listening ear, a warm smile, and all the other, purely feminine things that effectively produce post-gf amnesia.
Seriously, it was like:
Of course, this insanely seductive coping mechanism didn't do much for my exercise routine!
Sooner or later, everything one does (or not do) manifests in the mind and body. I knew it was time to jump off the carousel.
I believe my hedonism tank is full now.
It's about time to behave more like my old self (albeit, I reserve the right to backslide on weekends).
Prepping for My 57th Birthday
I am about 12 weeks out from my 57th birthday.
For the record:
My goal - as of today - is to be exceptionally fit and happy on or before that date!
"Hey, I remember what this is!"
"Septemeber 12, 2019 - The Before Picture."
May you and yours be well and love life today.
Namaste, JaiChai.
Really Appreciate You Stopping By.
Truly hope to see you again!
About the Author
Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life – while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.
In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.
After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.
Since then, he's been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency - plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).
He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter and three dogs.
