February 25th. I need to work out!!!
Wow! In the past, 2 days off was not a big deal, and would sometimes even be welcomed because I was sore or busy or whatever, but now it’s making me crazy!!! I need to go to the gym!! I have gotten so used to my routine of going twice a day, once in the morning for cardio, and again at night to lift weights! So having the last two days off is making me crave the gym lol. That seems odd, but dammit I wanna go do my triceps and abs and do some cardio!! To be fair, I needed the rest the first day off, and yesterday I was doing homework non-stop, so at least I have been somewhat productive. I am going to go tonight and work out, regardless of what is going on or how busy I am, if I don’t go tonight, I will end up having a nervous breakdown lol. I used to enjoy off days and cheat meals, but I have become so embedded in my routine, that I can’t enjoy either!!! Which is great for right now! I’m only 53 days out from my bday, which is when I am really going to be critical of myself. I plan on having bodyfat calipers by then, and also new pics, stats, and measurements so I can really see how I’m doing. If I’m not pleased with the progress and direction I am going in, I will be rethinking and retooling some of my workouts, and adjusting my cardio and intensity as needed.
So…..when I was young, I used to LOVE the group Dru Hill. In high school, I was a major fan of hip hop and r&b music, and feel like the mid 90’s were the golden age for both. Nowadays, hip hop is sooo weak, and all the songs are the same crap, no originality, except Kanye and Eminem. And r&b is basically dead. Chris Brown is cool, but who else is there? Back in the day, we had stellar vocal groups like Boyz 2 Men, Dru Hill, Jagged Edge, Jodeci, etc. So anyway, I don’t really know why, but I was in the shower, singing as always lol, and an old Dru Hill song popped into my head. This was 2 days ago I guess. I don’t even know how I remember the song or the lyrics, but it was just stuck in there!!! Its called Beauty, and it’s a really pretty song, and then going about my day, humming this song to myself and singing it in my head…….I bumped into an old friend Kellee. It was a funny feeling, it was like I was thinking about this song, and then the personification of the lyrics walked right in front of me lol. So, there may be more about her in the future, but for now, it’s just nice to reconnect. Oh, and as for my new friend Laura, we still haven’t hung out, tho she is already trying to convince me that she will kick my butt at bowling, and wants to go to an Angel’s game when the season starts in 38 days!!! I can’t wait for opening day!!! It’s a Friday night game, which means fireworks!! And they are giving away cars, and John Lackey will be pitching, and Torri Hunter making his debut……it’s gonna be soooo exciting, and there is absolutely no way in hell I am missing that game!!! Dave and I are both gonna try to get 4 tix the day they go on sale. That way, if JR, Art, John, Khoi, Kevin, or whoever wants to come, they can. And then if we have extra tix left over, they will be easily sold for a high price since opening day is a big attraction! Ok, gotta go make lunch and shower. Then it’s homework time…. and tonight, the gym!!! Oh, and I hafta wake up early tomorrow!! I need to spend at least 3 hours practicing piano before class, I am way behind!
