Thanksgiving went well yesterday. I had my "cheat" day yesterday. I did cheat- but within reason :)

I busted my tail at the gym today. 40 minutes- Precor- 455 calories. Damn!

As for training today, everything just felt super heavy. I toughed it out, but I could have probably been a little tighter on my form. Supposed to go for a hike tomorrow and I am really looking forward to it. Not sure if the weather will cooperate, but I hope it does. If we do go, I better bring lots of extra clothes ;)

Today was a horrible day. Since about 5:02 am until now, at 8:33 pm. I try to find at least one positive thing on those crappy days.. Today, I am happy that my legs finally feel normal from Monday's workout. I walk with a slight drunkards swagger, but at least I can sit normally today.. I am talking about the WHOLE motion of sitting- lowering yourself and then getting back up.

Anyway, did my conditioning uber late. Well late for me. Intervals on Precor- 330 calories in 30 minutes.

I didn't do conditioning today (I didn't even go to the gym). Today was the first day of conferences and things got way out of hand.. I'll be back on track tomorrow, so I'm not overly concerned.

One of the parents I met with started reciting my Facebook friends and wanted to know how I knew certain people..Creepy!

So... I'm getting a new student! Extra coverage? Of course not. Grrrrrr.

I got 2 of my Uncle's paintings today. He always always always wanted to show me how to paint.. He was amazing! He taught himself by watching Bob Ross on tv.. He would always say that he saw a painter in me. Promise after promise, we never quite coordinated schedules. High school turned into college and college turned into cancer. We missed the chance. We should have taken the freaking time, but we didn't. While helping out my Aunt this weekend, I took 2 of his pictures. He had made me one before (when he was in the thick of everything)- quite indicative of his mood at the time- lots of browns, barren trees, sparse vegetation.. A WORLD of difference from his normal flowers, forests, water.. I would have loved to send my one of a kind to the psychologist! I am sure they would have a field day with the hidden unconscious reasons that he made the picture as he did. The first thing he did when he learned to use his hands again- paint me that picture.

Anyway..I took 2 beautiful flower pictures. The color are vibrant and so realistic. You could tell he did this before he got sick. I need to get these framed.

I did intervals today, 30 minutes. 240 calories. The calorie expenditure seems less than I usually do, which is odd. I'll have to check on it.

Did I mention that I need sleep? Didn't sleep at all on Saturday, slept maybe an hour or two last night. Uggh. With that being said, I still went to the gym. SO easy to say forget it, but what will that help? Nada!

Trained with Sean then did 420 calories on the Cybex. I was turning all sorts of colors... it was great!

Today was the "An Hour for James" walk. It was very nice to see that schools in our system that didn't even have him as a student still joined in and offered their support. Talk about a reality check for some people..

So I walked and did 397 calories.

Times has been very limited, but I at least made it in for conditioning today. 30 minutes, 334 calories. I did more because I started on another machine, and got pissed at the person next to me, so I switched. I stupidly forgot to look at the calorie count. Ah well!

I was reading back through my old personal journal, and I found this:

I Want To Be A Gerbil.

I decided today that when I grow up, I want to be a gerbil. I spent some of last night in my friends room, and they have two baby gerbils and they are the most intriguing creatures I've ever spent thirty seconds watching.


This is why I want to be a gerbil:


- They sleep all curled up with each other

- Their brains are so tiny, they are utterly amused with a toilet paper roll.

- When she sprayed the squeaky wheel this morning with WD40, the stupider of the gerbils ("Salt") started licking off the excess oil.

- Not realizing the oil had decreased the drag on the wheel, "Salt" proceeded to run at full speed for about 10 seconds. He stopped abrubtly, only to find that the now-ergonomically-correct wheel did not. "Salt" took two loops as a result.

- Then he got off, shook his head, and did it again.

This is why I want to be a gerbil. I want to have a brain whose greatest concern is which end of the toilet paper roll to chew, a stomach that can hold down WD40, a soft fluffy partner to sleep with and a wheel to spin me for loops all day.

I totally agree with myself. :)

Did well on my food, considering everything.

Should have been: 40 fat, 90 carbs, 150 protein
I did: 41.2 fat, 90.5 carbs, 156.8 protein

Did not make it to the gym (or to Sean for that matter) today because of a stupid last minute Superintendent's meeting. I'm on the Leadership Cadre and he "values" my opinion. Yeah, translation, you get nominated for this thing and you have no choice but to say yes- it's the superintendent. You sit pow-wow style and talk for upwards of 4 hours right after school. Fun, huh?

Mom definitely needs the surgery within 2 weeks or so.

Uncle is still kicking, somehow! I am not gonna complain, but this dude is one amazing person. :)

Aunt is trying to kick. Recovery is slowing down and it's dampening her spirits.. Plus all the stuff with my Uncle.

....But as always, I'm still standing!

Did okay with my food.
