It's hard to have a true weight goal considering we all have different body types. I do know my cholesterol has gone from 201 to 147 and I'm now completely off the BP meds I was put on 2 years ago. Now I look forward to my daily date with the elliptical machine and only occasionally have more than 1 beer when I'm out (last night was an exception, so I will try to get 2 sessions in on the machine today). |
Right now I would love to work some summer/rec ball. I had to turn in my schedule toward the end of last season. Since August of last year I have been fighting a cardiac issue. Doctor's said I could officiate if I felt it possible but about the same time I came to the realization that my issue made it physically impossible for me to run up and down the court more than three times without a blow the doctor said no more physical activity until he said differently...not even golf while using a cart. Normally I attend three camps during the summer (last year just one, this summer apparently none) and work 20-30 games.
With the upcoming season being put more and more in jeopardy (at least another 6 months before getting the necessary blessing) I am beginning to think I have put on the stripes for the last time unless I wear them for Halloween. |

I'm one that doesn't work off season ball. My reasons include a philosophical reason. It seems to me that summer ball around here is way too ragged. It gets real rough and when I call fouls I catch grief from everybody including my partners. So I stay away, hasn't negatively affected me yet but I'm getting to the point where I may be hitting the glass ceiling due my no summer ball policy. I could live with the schedule I got last year for the rest of my officiating career. :)
Though I am going to a teaching camp in about 3 weeks put on by my local Assoc....:rolleyes: I stay in shape year round. Running,spin classes,weights, and I play tournament tennis from April to October. So by basketball season I'm in my usual fighting shape and ready to go.:D |
I'm attending the IAABO school in Greeley, CO in June, but that'll be my only basketball officiating until November. I have club and HS soccer in the spring and fall, and then soccer tournaments throughout the summer.
With the exception of a couple of weeks off in between the sports during the school year ( and of course Christmas & spring breaks), I'm on the court or the pitch about 10 months out of the year. I get to ref soccer with my son, so I get the family time in as well, especially during the tourneys, we ref, the girls shop or hang out at the pool at the hotel...:cool: |

Spin classes....stationary bikes where all the hot mommies hang out to make sure they don't become plump mommies. :) |
