It’s been a while since I made a post but this is what chides me today:
I posted on Twitter (@nathanghaynes) as well as on my facebook page this quote earlier, “Thinking that everyone wanted to work as hard as I do is my biggest mistake”. It is a true to life statement about what I am. I have recently taken a new job that requires me to be the boss over around 20 or so employees. People’s work ethic now-a-days, in my opinion, has gone right out the window. People don’t seem to want to put in the work for the better good. When a person works for a company, you are supposed to do the right thing for the company to make it easier for everyone involved to be a part of a bigger picture. Selfishness has crept into our psyche as a people because we want the most for the least amount of effort. Great things come to those who put in the work and strive to be great. I would like to think that I have that “Dare-to-be-great” mentality. It’s just sad to me to see that there is a lack of effort by people to do a great job at something.
*Off my soapbox*
I don’t speak Spanish except for a few terms and phrases but I have been watching soccer on my Xbox in the mornings before work and I will say this, the announcers for the Mexican and Spanish Soccer clubs is quite possibility the most exciting announcers outside of Gus Johnson. See Gus Johnson here. Those Spanish announcers get completely riled up to the point of explosion at the sight of a goal. They always keep in intrigued even if soccer can be boring. See example here.
I have been attempting to cut my weight over the last month. I started dieting and not full blown eating correctly but I am eating a TON less than I used to. I went one day and recorded everything that I ate and drank in a normal day and I realized that I was putting almost 5500 calories a day into my body. When I realized this, I was completely blown away. I have now cut my intake to less than 2500 calories a day in an attempt to help myself mentally as well as physically. I have low self esteem and poor self image. I am trying to change this so that I can get back on the courts to play basketball again and to maybe one day, feel better about myself in my physical nature. I will be recording my weight once a month to see my progress so that y’all will know how I am doing.
I know that it has been some time since the last post but I have had to conjure up thoughts that I felt would be acceptable for you the reader to read and if you don’t enjoy it, I still got it off my chest, so that feels good.
