Current Mood: Athletic & Optimistic

I love that feeling. You’re stumped trying to figure something out for a significant amount of time and then at some random point, sometimes not even thinking about said issue, it dawns on you. And everything makes sense. And I had one of those moments last night. So, hooray!

My lunch walk today is in jeopardy, not sure when to get it in since we have an “all hands meeting” at 11am at work and at 12pm I have an appointment at Fidelity to make me rich.

Yesterday I did a neat circuit when I got home. Eight rounds of 4 different exercises and I was surprised how much it kicked my ass. That was a nice feeling. It was mostly stomach and cardio. Stomach is the only thing that I rarely get sore from. That frustrates me because I equate sore with doing it right and getting stronger… But I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong! So who knows.

Here is my big problem with doing two workouts in a day. I run out of sports bras… I have 4 pairs of shorts that I’ll walk in and I have several other random types of bottoms to use in the evening… But I own just 4 sports bras. So basically I have do to laundry every other day. That began to frustrate me so I started just hanging the sports bra after my walk to air dry and use it again in the evening! Ya, that kind of sucks too imho. So the appropriate solution would perhaps be to purchase more sports bras. Too bad they always seems to be one of those most expensive items when it comes to fitness clothes. $30-$40 or more depending on brands. Ya you can grab some for cheaper but there is such a quality difference between some off brand and say Nike or Adidas. And forget Lululemon. The day I pay $60 for a sports bra is the day I’ve lost it and might as well suicide. Oh well, I guess it’s the same reason why bikinis are around $70. Stupid.

Oh well, I guess my current method isn’t so horrid. I knew guys in jiu jitsu who’d roll in the morning, air dry their stuff, and use it the same afternoon. At least with my scenario it’s contained to just my sweat. They had like 5 other dude’s grossness fermenting for hours before they put that stuff back on. See, gotta look at the bright side to everything!

Tuck was in an odd mood last night. I often wonder why goes through his little brain. Generally he goes to bed around 3-4pm and sleeps through the night. Last night as I’m watching TV and eating dinner I hear some frantic digging sounds and next thing I know there is a tortoise up and about starting at me in the dark. He crawled up on his half log, paced a few times, sat in his food bowl, ate a little fresh food I gave him, then went back to bed after staring at his log for about 5 minutes. Tortoise nightmare?

Oh and last thing. I signed up for a photography course at UCSD. It doesn’t start until April unfortunately but I am definitely looking forward to it. Now I’m debating if I want to hold off getting a 7D or if I should just bite the bullet and do it. I’m going to want it even more after the class anyways, haha.
