So...About that 3-4...

So I'm typing this as I prepare for a trip to Atlanta. Yes, I got long enough off work to go out of the state. Shut up about it.

Progress Report

So today is Day 42, also known as "The Last Day of 1-2." Okay, okay; yesterday was supposed to be my last day of 1-2 (if you follow the Excel spreadsheet. WOWY had 3-4 starting on Day 31, and the original calendar starts 3-4 on Day 45 when Power 90 would be half over), but I missed the workouts for Friday and Saturday because...well, work has me bloody exhausted. Anyway, I had to do a double on what was originally supposed to be my rest day.

OH MY GOD, MAKE THE PAIN STOP!!!

As you know, I work at a bowling alley that I call "GNB." Well, we have weekly specials, and Tuesday happens to be College Night - bowl all you want from 10 to midnight for $5. Well, I was actually off that night and went bowling with my family.

Long story short, my right thigh HURTS!!! I somehow managed to get through the workouts for the week, but barely. I have no idea what's going on, but I am in serious pain. It hurts to exercise and even walking up the stairs is painful. Can't go to the doctor because my new work insurance won't officially cover me until next paycheck (not today's, but the one after). I worked Wednesday morning as a favor to a coworker who had to go to orientation and I had yesterday off, so I was hoping  it would go away before I went in tonight, but it hasn't.

Someone shoot me, please!

So What Had Happened Was...

I'm actually just going to hold off on the new pictures until the next picture post, July 13th - also known as "Day 30" and "Measurement Day." Why? Because I'm a filthy, rotten, cheating cheater.

As you very well know, I mostly work nights at a place that I'll call "GNB" so as not to get fired in case there's some gag order that I missed during my training. Anyway, the food that we serve is incredibly tasty, but also LOADED with calories. Because of this, I rarely use my meal break and try to eat dinner before coming in. Unfortunately, closing means that I don't get off work until somewhere between 12:30 and 2:00 AM, depending on the day. And after getting off work, I am HONGRY (that's right: with a long "o" sound instead of a "u"). And, alas, the only places open are fast food - usually I wind up at Mickey D's or Wendy's since Burger King is always closed when I get off. (What's up with that?) Well, that and the Cook-Out is a little out of my way.

Speaking of the Cook-Out, I'm on my way there now. Why? Because it's July and I've been waiting all YEAR for a Watermelon Milkshake.

I told you I was a cheater.

Week 3, Day 1

Yeah, I know there should've been a picture post, but I'm actually going to wait another couple of days to post them. Why? I'm bloated/retaining water.

Well, I missed both Friday & Saturday's workouts because I opened all last week. It was kinda weird - and boring - since most people show up at night. I also made no tips except on one of my birthday parties on Saturday... What's that? Get to the point? This kind of droning belongs on Happy Salty? Fine, then. ANYWAY, the point is that when I made them up on Sunday morning (which is normally my rest day),  I was really exhausted. Let's face it: if I hadn't been reading that book, I would've fallen asleep on my way to the IMAX.

I'm tearing up Ab Ripper now, but those push-ups are still hard. So hard, in fact, that I think I might be getting worse at them while getting better at everything else. Also, "Sweat" is a very appropriate name for my Tues/Thurs/Sat workout because I'm tired and sweaty by the time we finish Power Yoga. Speaking of Yoga, isn't it supposed to be relaxing? I keep waiting for that experience my dad had that one time he did Yoga: falling asleep during the routine.

Next post is going to be pics.
