There isn't an active p90x community on livejournal :(, p90x day 3
I'm sad to see that there isn't an active p90x community on livejournal anymore. Of course the gymrats community dried up and blew away too. Oh well. The only communities on livejournal that I belong to that are active are the photography based communities and the couch25K. I guess there are so many external forums at this point that it doesn't ( Read more... ) -
Days 1 and 2 of P90X
Well, Day 1 was Chest and Back with Ab Ripper at the end. I learned I have terrible plank form, and have been doing bicycles all wrong. Push-ups suck. I'm not strong or good at those either. Using bands instead of a pull-up bar made things easier. I'm glad there's stopping for a water break. That's nice. Otherwise I generally don't hydrate ( Read more... ) -
All my hard work paid off!!
Last night I found out the all the hardwork I've done in the last 1.5 years has paid off. One of the awesome members of our cohort found out through the efficiency of our administrative staff in updating our 'degree audit' information, that we could see if we got into advanced standing, the one year masters program, that way ( Read more... ) -
Out of Hibernation
This week I'm officially out of hibernation and taking advantage of what is probably a high due to a mild mild case of seasonal affective disorder! I made and did about 5 over due things yesterday. I felt awesome about the substance abuse certificate program interview I had this morning and tonight felt weirdly euphoric over doing exceptionally ( Read more... ) -
On getaway
Gen and I have escaped Albuquerque for different environs. This time we journeyed through the Gila Mountains to Silver City New Mexico. It has been alternating rain, snow, and sun since we arrived last night. Kind of crazy. I haven't checked facebook yet this afternoon to see if Albuquerque got crazy weather too, all I know is that it was ( Read more... ) -
Two Steps Forward, One Step Back.
So lately, the exercise and eating right thing has gone out the window. Totally and completely. And it's beginning to show, which is discouraging. But for once, I'm not really writing about that, only mentioning that I've been dwelling on it for the last couple of weeks. Yes, the Contemplation Stage of Change ( Read more... ) -
School Weary
Wow. So, Dooce is celebrating 12 years on her website, and I realized I'd been reading it for 8 of those 12, which made me connect that I've been on LiveJournal for 8 years. I passed through most of young adulthood writing here. Granted for the past 4 years I haven't been writing much. And recently I expressed being tired of school and I ( Read more... ) -
Sitting squarely between depressed and motivated...
Right now I'm sitting squarely between being depressed because I dropped an important ball and trying to be all buddhist about it by realizing that feeling worried and sad about it won't actually accomplish anything. I forgot to ask my practicum instructor for a letter for the substance abuse certificate program (SACP) until today, and it's due ( Read more... ) -
Life lately
Life is going swimmingly and this most recent time petsitting is the least stressful time its been in years. I have to say that this anniversary (a week ago) and this Valentine's day, have been special in that we haven't done anything special, but I don't really feel the need. We have been loving and appreciative of each other every day. I am ( Read more... ) -
Spontaneity for the Win - despite being a jerk
Yesterday afternoon I was supposed to have a game night but had only gotten one yes. Being a lazy jerk who didn't want to clean the house, I canceled by voice message with that person but suggested we do something else later on. I didn't hear back from her for a couple of hours, then she told Gen she and her partner had to find a stove for their ( Read more... )
