(also who really cares what happened in my life today? Besides me and my Mom, I'm betting that list is pretty short)
I also wonder what the average person/blog reader/viewer should really know about me. Is it really important or is that not the point? Is the point to be myself and write if no one is reading, or if its just me reading?
I guess I'll find out if I start sharing more. This DOES post to my professional page on Facebook, should I take a clue from that? We'll see...
I've felt a little more grown up the last few days. My vegging out in the living room has been limited and things have gotten done. The bathrooms are clean, the apartment is clean and mostly organized after the post Christmas explosion and return from winter vacation. We even took the dogs out to the sump at the apartment complex (the ground just squishy now except for one Labrador inviting pool of drainage water). Rudder was excited to get out and stretch her legs running erratically all over the place to use up that 6 year old puppy energy. (gotta love labs for that) In the last few years she's gotten bored with fetch. Its usually me throwing the tennis ball, she runs after it, taps it with her nose and then runs off leaving me to fetch. No thanks, not my game. Inevitably she dives into the nasty pool of drainage water regardless of how many negative commands I yell and we move on to BATHTIME! The pool of water she REFUSES to enjoy. Ugh.
I reorganized the files on my computer, something that needed to be done after I had a MASSIVE hard drive failure. I back up my files regularly, but I wanted the data anyway. Thankfully we have a very handy IT professional at work who I swear is the most technologically savvy person I know. I mean he says things to me that I just have to smile and nod to because he makes them sound so simplistic and common that I feel like I SHOULD know what he means. Anyway my stuff is where it should be now.
Then it was off to Red Stick CrossFit for week 2 of my self proclaimed A** in gear mode. Last week I really shifted into high gear after coming back from vacation. I haven't been putting my all into my workouts and its showing. Showing not in weight gain or anything like that, but stagnation. I haven't REALLY seen any significant physical changes in my body. Strength-wise I have made leaps and bounds. I can do 20 push-ups pretty quick, pull ups pretty fast as well and I have much more strength than I ever have, but physically I don't think I look THAT much different to me, though I have heard otherwise. My proportions have stayed the same - I think, from my first post last March. My waist is still about 40" but I have put on more than 15 pounds of muscle. My body fat percentage dropped and hopefully by this March I will be able to say even more has changed. So today I gave it my all again. The annoying thing though about the gym is that my shoulders have gotten bigger and so have my arms, minimally so, but either way, I have to toss some things in my closet to Goodwill otherwise I risk looking like a douche wearing shirts that are too small. I don't want to be that guy.
The night rounded out with dinner with some old friends at Perkins Rowe and some comedic time through the craft and sex sections of Barnes & Noble before we went home. Walking back into the apartment I checked the moon again to see if the HUGE halo was still there, it wasn't. (that's lots of upper level moisture that causes that btw - not a sign of the apocalypse) But it was a nice clear moment tonight and with the acquisition of a new and WONDERFUL camera for Christmas. I popped out to the balcony and started snapping away with my zoom lens and caught the moon and an extra surprise. I pretty clear (albeit small) image of Jupiter. Made my night. Now, to bed! Let's see what shenanigans I can get into tomorrow!
