So
I figured out why I'm failing so miserably at posting my pictures, and that is that I usually read this site at work. I tend to check it breifly after or before a workout, but just kinda look in like "Hmmm...reading for later" and then I skip on out the door for coffe or sunshine. Or I switch to a movie or something if it's rainy. This, however, leads to me not really posting pics on the site. I gotta work on that more. I really should post the ones I go, as the next set is approaching, and I've improved nicely. It's not that I'm scared to post 'em, but that I'm a lazy bum when it comes to computers.
I'm rather less lazy about the workouts. Since I talked to Patrick about when to do the workout I've been feeling a lot better about them. Less of the day long "ouch" and more of the burn while actually working out. The problem now is that some old aches and pains are starting to act up. I'm planning on giving them a couple days to go away, but if they don't I'll have to be very annoyed, and make my annoyed face.
On the subject of annoying, there is the Indulgences to consider. I have NO clue what to get. Well, that's not right, I have like...3 or 4 clues. It's gonna be one of the following :
-have a drink or two with friends
-Hongs Dumplings (the only street food I really like in Burlington, and EVERYONE likes them)
-Ben and Jerry's (that's right, they're from here. Muahaha)
-sweets at work (just so I don't want 'em any more)
I gotta say tho, what I want to do is save it up. My mom is having a birthday party in August, and if I could go home to that and have a beer and a small slice of cake, that'd be awsome. There is a very good chance that most of the food, and possibly even the cake will be PcP friendly (my family and friends tend to grow stuff and eat healthy, and man can my mom make a mean strawberry/maple upside down cake.) So...I'd like to save my indulgence, tho I doubt they're supposed to work like that. Ahh well.
And now, the last portion. Work is gettin' harder by the day, but I'm gettin' stronger by the day! I'm having to lift and move more old folks, but they feel lighter. The ones I strained with or needed help with I'm able to do more easily or by myself. This is a big bonus, as I am so far the only one at work who has not hurt their back while lifting (woo construction experience and learning to lift with the legs) and now that I'm stronger I suspect that I'll continue to not hurt my back. Celebrations all around!
Les'se now...what else to write about? Things continue. There's more that's going on, but it's largely unimportant or even possibly boring. So... I bid you adieu.
Awesome progress man. Being strong makes everything better, especially for someone in your line of work. Nice.
ReplyDeleteYOU GUYS ARE ALREADY On your INDULGENCES? haha it feels like your team just came yesterday! time is FLYING! one month will go in a heart beat....
ReplyDeleteide pick the dumplings
Drink with friends or dumpling sounds about right for me.....:-)
ReplyDeleteI don't know... Dumplings sound awesome and I always love drinks, but Ben & Jerry's, well, that sounds insanely appealing. I think cause I'm so miserably hot in my house nowadays. Good luck choosing!
ReplyDeleteDon't save it -- there are more coming! And I think it's important at this point to try something that you want -- or think you want -- and see how it affects your mind & body. It was a really informative experience for me. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, the indulgence! I'm on the fence about what to choose too, as I'm not really craving anything specific right now. Will be interested to hear what you decide to indulge in. Also, I agree with Tara - don't wait, just go for it!
