Week #1 and #2: Mental and Physical Pain Strikes!

After a week of walking a mile hill with a 30lb weight vest, swinging a sledge hammer on a tire, and attempting to drag that tire for leg strength, my muscles received a rude awakening!  Although I did lose weight (yay, silver lining), it's so draining, especially after working an 8-hour day!

I also started to study through viewing and doing practice tests.  Reading comprehension and math basics are somewhat easy for me, but I'm finding that the greatest challenge is learning about mechanical advantage, gears, levers, and pulleys.  I was a chemistry lover, and did quite well in this area.  However, when it was time for me to take physics in college, I failed miserably!  I studied my a$$ off, only to get as high as a D on tests.  So, to make a long story short, I am failing to make the connection with mechanical lessons...how frustrating!

I have yet to come up with a solid schedule for me to follow. 
The honeymoon and excitement is wearing off, and I feel as if I will hit my first wall soon...
