Here we go

Ok so I just got my job offer. I start basic training on April 13 at St Jean sur richelieu, Quebec. I'm there for 13 weeks. After I'm off to battle school for ten weeks in Borden, Ontario. After that I'm off to MOC training in borden for 16 weeks, followed by 8 months at the paramedic academy in Chilliwack, BC. Megz (who I recently got engaged to) is staying here and is going to throw herself wholeheartedly into her carreer. I am going to miss her terribly. It is going to be difficult but we are going to get through this and get married. I am excited to know that I am really going to be able to take care of my loved ones after all.

I found the most horrifying thing on you tube today. Fortunately those of you who don't use protein powders have nothing to worry. BUT.... those of you who do need to become educated. It seems that many manufacturers of protein powders and chock them full of MSG without putting it in the ingredients list as long as they lace it within other ingredients. Now MSG is a powerful excitotoxin that can actually burn out the glutamate receptors in your brain. Otherwise known as killing brain cells. It seems to me that many highly touted "health foods" do much more harm than good.

I'll save that for my next post but please if you exercise and think you need to supplement with protien powders post-workout, for the love of god, click here

2 Roads Diverge

So here's the craziness. Juggernaut fitness is still in existence but it is taking a turn in direction. I have enlisted in the Canadian Forces as a Med Tech. I guess I won't be taking on any clients here until I get back in about a year and a half. You guys can wait though.
I have elected to live a life of adventure for the time being as I am not ready to stay in once place yet. I am going to be a Search and Rescue Technician. I figure, what's the point of all this training if I don't have a reason. This is my reason. I'll see you when I get back
