I thought i had a good 10mile run Sunday but I am exhausted (sleeping 9-10hours a night), I'm not hungry, my body is sluggish and I had a horrible run this morning. I lost 2lbs in 30mins! That is not good - in fact that is just wrong. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't done the weighing myself like I always do (helps me know how much fluids I'm loosing and how much to replenish).
I'm going to take it easy and slow today and we'll see if I do anything at all tomorrow!
current mood:  crappy

I'm ever so worried that I didn't do well on the test yesterday. It's been a while since I was tested and it's made my brain feel like swiss cheese! Why can't they just test me on stuff I know like how to recover a faulted RTP chamber? I'm damn good at that but electromagnetic fields? Dude, uncool.
current mood: crappy

7:37 am - Running going well
|
I have done a 10K and my max long runs have been just over 9miles! Getting my 1st blister - not quite a blister yet so I gonna do plenty of blister care to keep it off.
I'm a little worried about the 1st test in my first master's class. EE is not my area and I really have to think about things so I don't know if an hour will be enough time for me. Are there only 10questions? Better get to studying!
current mood:  anxious

2:56 pm - Busy busy bee
|
Okay so here is my plans for the year!
1) Start masters degree - MSE join program with AMAT & SJSU for a masters in Systems Engineering starts April 1st (odd date)
2) Run marathon - I have choosen the Oct25th Silicon Valley Marathon and have started training and have a training schedule. Yes rest days are important
3) Work - keep it up! That's all I can do for now, just get things done one step at a time.
4) Basketball - get back into it a little. I have started shooting around and working on getting comfortable with pivoting and landing on my bad knee. Hopefully by next year I'll feel comfortable enough to join a novice league!
5) Boot camp - I am signed up for 3 times a week for the whole year though I haven't actually gone 3 times a week yet and we are already 3 months in. Gotta work on that but with the marathon training something tells me it might no happen.
Guess that's all the biggies! Now I just have to survive layoffs, shut downs, my mom coming back to stay with me, and somewhere find some time to visit Brian, Gavin, and Torie. Okay lets stop thinking about this or I'll get really freaked out!

Every so often I just have one of those weeks where anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Okay well maybe not everything but it feels that way. I just keep telling myself just push through this week and next week will get better, you luck will come back to you! Just keep on pushing.
current mood:  frustrated

I gotta remember to build in more rest time from these vacations. I'm tired today and it doesn't help that I'm not fully over my cold.

I was accepted into the MSE program that work is doing! Now we just have to see if they will actually follow through and still have the program.
I also got to met the guy who is my boss' boss' boss' boss. He seems like a nice enough guy and he donated to our basketball team. Humm maybe he can shoot for our team next year....
I was oh so hell of depressed Monday but today I am ever so happy. Umm I'm starting to suspect manic depression, does that kind of stuff just start?

Yesterday was pretty bad.
I have tendonitis in my shoulder, I locked my keys in my car, I had to climb over Khurshed's old cube to get into my cube, I had to have dinner with Scary Rob, I didn't get the perscriptions to help alliviate the tendonitis, and I thought I lost my jacket. Also thought Victor lost the vaccum wand - luckily Colin found it! My legs still hurt from Wednesday and what the hell is this cough? I don't have time to be sick!
I just keep thinking - it's almost over, I just have to make it through today.
current mood:  tired

My fantasy teams are in the crapper right now. My Patriots are fighting to make it to playoffs. I hurt my shoulder - actually I think I've pinched a nerve in my neck cause I can feel the pain radiate from damn near my jaw all the way out to the deltoid of my right shoulder. I have 4 weeks out of the next 9 forced vacation. But other than that I think I'm good.
Getting ready for the drive cross country. Cucpcake Wednesday is coming up. I hope I'm not getting sick but I'm taking percaustions (daily airborne and extra vitamin C just to make sure - though I did wake up in a hot sweat this morning, never a good sign). But all in all I think I'm doing well and in pretty good shape.
Christmas List:
heart rate monitor
10lb weights
lucky's gift certificate
chipolte's gift certificate
sprinkle's gift certificate
barnes n nobles / borders gift certificates
new hat for skiing
little bike tool set
basketball & pump
maybe I'll think of more to add to this list later

Monica's wedding was amazing. I laughed, I cried, I drove all over Houston. My lower legs are sore from all the dancing and they lost my luggage on the trip back but I'm doing well. The henna is getting darker before it getts lighter and it's very beautiful. I'm glad I got to see so many of my old friends and got to make some new ones.
It was the best mix of cultures I've ever been to. Normally one side or the other ends up taking over the ceremony with their cultural beliefs but it was very even and both sides where well represented. It means I'm sure there where some tense moments - for both sides but this whole mariage thing is all about compromise!

Mom is doing better. She was up and walking around for 5 hours yesterday straight. Course she was completely pooped and slept for 5 hours till I woke her up to eat dinner but she's sick. I know how antibiotics can rip you up so I'm letting it go for now but I'm keeping an eye out that this gets better and doesn't become a habit.
On my front I'm doing fine. Went to boot camp this morning. I should go everyday this week cause I got so many make ups I'm not going to be able to make them all up at this point but I could at least get 2 make ups in. And I doubt I'm going to loose any body fat for the special this month but I signed up for my post camp consult. We'll see.

8:58 pm - Stopped a man in mid sentance today!
|
Yes that's right. I straighted my hair to get it cut and just got back from the salon (got my eyebrows done too while I was there) and when I got out of my car at home our upstairs neighbors (2 guys) where upstairs talking on the balcony. With the window down I couldn't quite make out what they where talking about but they where in a steady back and forth and when I got out of my car and walk under their balcony to my door I noticed that all the talk had stopped. I looked up at the last second and caught one of the guys eyes cause he was just staring at me.
Felt cool :)
current mood:  flirty

I haven't raised enough money but I am going to walk this coming weekend. I am physically ready.
Tomorrow is our 1st softball game of this season. Hopefully we'll do better this season.
I lost inches all over my body this last month but I didn't loose any body fat. Not sure what's up with that but I have seen this, drop in body fat then plataeu then drop again so I'm not worried.

9:55 pm - Look me in the eyes....
|
Okay so maybe not all women can relate and maybe Shay wasn't the one to bring this up with. Well espeically since she has decided that my boobs now need names. Trixie and Candy or something like that. But a lot of guys, in fact most straight males especially when they 1st meet me do a double take at my chest. Some can't stop staring and normally I ignore it and try to move in such a way to break their view.
But every once in a while it lets me know they're paying attention and it's great to see a guy I think is cute paying attention to me...erhummm....physically :)
current mood:  amused
