Fabulousness

I can almost do a chin up! I'm about 2/3 of the way there. HUZZAH!!! That goal is not so far away as I thought... I just need to keep practicing my static-hangs and slow-lowers and eventually it will come. I am hoping that it comes in the next month or so tho so I can be up to 4 or 5 by the end of the year... then the pullup is next... eeps!

Boot camp today was GREAT except for the bear-crawl across the "field turf" soccer field... which if you're not familiar with "field turf" is blades of plastic grass with black pellets of ground-up recycled shoe-rubber laid down like sand between them which makes for a very nice running and playing surface (many indoor pro-football fields are being made of this stuff now) but a very very HOT surface when in direct sunlight for many hours... hot enough, in fact, to burn the hell out of your skin when it comes in contact with the palms of your hands as you scurry across it. One of the fellas in the class got a second-degree burn on his palm... the blister popped almost immeidately... I don't think we'll be doing bear crawls in the sun again. We also had a station that included 50 unweighted squats... "no problem!" right? HA!!! you get to squat number 35 and tell me "no problem." I DARE YA!!!

Food has been just so/so... I haven't been recording this week which is much of my problem... some doritos and a glass or two of wine snuck in last night, and well... damnit I'm just getting annoyed at myself. It seems summer is NOT the optimal time for me to be on a restrictive diet, but at the same time its when I want to look my most fabulous and thus NEED to be on the restrictive diet... I WANT to do this... badly... but not badly enough it seems.

My deck is scheduled to begin construction on the 12th (deposit paid, we're official!!!) Mike is nearly done with the gorgeous split-rail fence in the back (which I'm going to need to paint with sealer or protectant or somthing here soon) and my sunburn has faded leaving a lovely tan... I never tan... *grin*

OH! OH! OH!!!! And I got my confirmation from the Birthingway College of Midwifery... I am officially registered for A&P (fuck yeah!!!) and will be able to pick up my BOOKS in a month or so... I am SO excited!!!! Lunch some time next week to talk to Linn about becomming a personal trainer as well... action, action, action... :D
