The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance. Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters. Personal: I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities. Favorite Blogs: |

My office building doesn't have running water nor plumbing. In order to use the restroom we have to go to a latrine trailer outside. On the way to the latrine is our gym trailer. I drink a lot of water, so I spend quite a bit of my day walking back and forth to the latrine.
I read about periodization. It's a system where you do a lot of an exercise spread throughout the day. So every time I have to pee, I stop at the gym trailer and do a set of something. You do about half of what you can max. I figure I won't do it everyday, but I'd like to do it at least 3x a week.
Today was day one. I picked pullups. We'll see how it works.

| Spent the day at the clinic and the evening at work. No spin, no abs, no cals. Just work. Bleh! | | Comments(3) |

Steriods worked. Inflammation's down. Off crutches :)
Day 2 of periodization experiment. Doing a little less so I don't sweat in my work clothes and added pushups to the mix.
BJJ and chipped my front tooth. Curses.
Madeline can do a pullup! Ballet builds brute strength in slim packages, but I think I'll stick to yoga. | | Comments(15) |

No longer have the pimp walk, but still unable to run...
I was able to put enough weight on my foot to Spin, and then spent time with Kim who tortured my obliques today.
Mike K made some homemade spaghetti sauce and I decided to show my appreciation. If I knew he was going to cook, then I would have skipped breakfast, lunch and dinner. Again, I find out about dinner after I eat dinner. I should probably stop going as soon as the DFAC opens... | | Comments(8) |

Turns out I wasn't doing periodization, I was mixed up. I'm Greasing the Groove. Anyway, it's day 3 and I went through about a gallon of water, so that meant quite a few breaks and quite a few sets.
Foot is not cooperating. He decided to swell on me today. He was really behaving himself too. Doesn't he realize that we're going to lose what little cardiovascular fitness we have? Sometimes he's so selfish.

Got a facial today to relieve my aching shoulders. Before you make any wild assumptions, let me explain. A while back there was some inappropriate goings on at the beauty parlor. They used to offer massages, but people would ask for more. Now you can get your shoulders and neck rubbed but only if you get a facial.
So now my face feels like a baby's bottom. I can't help pinching my own cheeks. And my shoulders feel great.
I think I'll get my nails done next...

The yoga instructor was a no show, but I attempted to do things while I waited. Fell off one of those exercise balls, luckily the floor is covered with mats.
Weekly assessment:
Pullups up 2 from last week; quit with 8 sec left. Different bar. Too skinny.
Situps down 6. Ran out of time
Pushups down 35. My tris cramped up...stupid tris with 20 or 30 secs still left. I was really expecting these to go up.
Foot felt good enough to do some KBs

BJJ. Paired up with Mr. B.O. We drilled on a type of choke where my face was buried in his armpit. Teeth, neck, ankle and toes intact. Olfactory system sustained irreparable damage. Extra hot shower afterward. | | Comments(4) |

Abs and KBs. Just had a influx of soldiers and Abs class had more people than I've every seen. I think it inspired Kim to go gangbusters. I think she scared all the new folks. I was definitely frightened.
Tried running for a bit, but it was a no-go. Maybe I should learn to run on my hands. | | Comments(14) |

BJJ and KBs.
Not a good mix. Never do KBs when you're tired. | | Add Comment |

Went for a tour.
Desecrating a tomb.
4000 yr old graffiti
Striking a pose in the house of Abraham. The Abraham. Well, maybe. He was from Ur and this house is in Ur and belonged to an Abraham. It could have been Abraham Jones or Smith. It's also rebuilt, only the foundation was left. It was rebuilt for the Pope to visit in the 90's, but Sadaam said he wouldn't be responsible for the Pope's safety. The Pope didn't end up going. What a chicken!
The Zuggerat of Ur. I can see this from my office window.
And my first step class which kicked my rear. | | Comments(12) |
