Crossroads’s BodyBlog

I am sooo tired I don’t know what to do with myself. For those of you who don’t know I currently work night (10 pm until 7 am) and then I care for my daughter during the day. I usually try to go to the gym in the mornings, but lately I have been going at 2:00 am during my lunch break. I think this has been a good change since my body is not used to working out at this time and I have been super sore. I have also noticed that since I am usually the only person in the gym that I get a lot more done in a faster manner.

Things have been good, but so busy lately. My daughter was the flower girl in a wedding last month and she looked absolutely adorable. The only problem is she is only 18 months old and when she was walking down the isle her little shoes got caught in the carpet and she took a face plant. I was impressed with what a trooper she was because she got back up and kept walking only to fall again after about 10 more steps. She got up again and continued to walk until she got to me at the end of the isle (I was so proud). I guess Abe Lincoln had it right when he said "Our greatest victories come not in never falling, but in rising everytime we fall.

 Workouts are going well and I have gained a lot of strength over the past few months (Bench up 15 lbs and squats up 25 lbs). My weight has dropped a bit thanks to the extra conditioning I am getting playing basketball and softball, but I think it is helping my shape. My knee is sore due to taking a line drive a few weeks ago, but it’s not so bad that I can’t workout. I am looking forward to a productive week.

I also received an e-mail from my first high school girlfriend last week. Amazingly we have been living in the same town for the past two years, but have never run into eachother. She is married and has three kids so I am hoping that my wife won’t be to upset if we get together and catch up (of coarse I wouldn’t want my wife meeting with her old boyfriends so who knows). Anyway I feel like I am rambling so I am just going to stop now and wish everybody a great week.
