I’m in a lot of pain.
well not as much as i was yesterday and the day before. My legs are feeling much better after doing the crazy plyometrics work out. the other stuff i’ve done is the ab ripper and shoulders and arms. Today I will get back on schedule and do Kenpo, whatever the hell that is. I got up today and my legs aren’t hurting as bad going up or down the stairs but they are still a little sore, but MUCH MUCH better than yesterday. My arms are not as sore as I’d thought they would be but next time I do shoulders and arms again I’m gonna do all the reps and maybe more to see if that will work. Some of the exercises are really hard to do though and I have to put it on slo mo just to see how exactly they are doing it. I’m thinking of getting someone to watch me so they can help me on my form. I try to slow the dvd down so i can do it correctly but its hard cause im concentrating on doing the exercise and sometimes the rest of me does weird stuff to try to accommodate. I’m going to stop by walmart today to get one of those measuring tape things that are just a roll so i can measure myself, i’m tired of measuring with a string and then measuring the string afterward.
I’m also feeling freakin hungry all the time ever since I started, so I’m guessing I’m not eating enough or something. I haven’t been following the diet exactly though, just sort of ‘loosely’ because I haven’t had time to sit down and count everything out. So I’m thinking of buying the little grocery list and making the meals they suggest that way I don’t have to count at all I can just eat whenever I’m supposed to and what I’m supposed to.
Yesterday I met this girl to play tennis and thankfully she did not turn out to be a weirdo so we are gonna play again this coming saturday. Thankfully by then my finals will be over and I’ll be much more relaxed and in the mood to play. I got my ass kicked though, which I guess makes sense cause I haven’t played in like 2 weeks. I kind of miss practicing with tommy cause he always showed me what to do and helped me a lot, but i would feel weird calling him up now out of the blue. Well i have my chemistry final tomorrow so i better go study all day today. I’m also going to that job interview with that lady later today too so hopefully that goes well and they are not freakos. I passed by the street that they live on the other day though and they are really big houses so they must be rich. okay thats all for now
No commentsbeginner stage - AGAIN
so now that i’m out of school for a little bit i will be mostly focusing on mcat and trying to play tennis better. but i also want to do some stuff online and i’m just tooooo lazy to review my ass over the same shit AGAIN. its like everytime i get started doing something i have school before i can finish it - then whenever summer comes again i wanna work on it but of course i’ve basically forgotten everything and it makes the whole working process really slow cause i have to relearn little things or like look stuff up which takes little bits of time here and there and adds up. so thats what i realized this morning. thankfully i bought those phrasebooks last summer which really do help me out a lot since its like bits of what i need without having to flip through an entire giant book where it walks me through a bunch of crap. its still a pain in the ass but i guess i have to deal with it. will probably try to get something done today before tomorrow starts and i have to do mcat stuff again.
i dont know if i already talked about this but i cut my finger real bad, its two cuts exactly parallel to each other on my ring finger on my right hand because it was a razor that had three blades (thankfully i didnt get three cuts, only two!) so this sucks because i cant grip my tennis racquet or else it hurts like a bitch so i don tknow what to do. hopefully it will feel better by tuesday which is when i plan to play again. last night i went to golfsmith to see whta they had and of course everything they had was like large and extra large sizes so nothing fit anyways. then i was thinking of buying a bucket of practice balls but i couldnt make up my mind so i just left and kept in mind that they sell them there. i’m supposed to have guests over today but i think im gonna shower now and then go to academy to see if they have anything. okay so thats all for now i guess i should leave before they come that way it doesnt seem like im being rude. =)
No commentsTennis!
okay well i’ve been slowly getting more and more interested in learning tennis lately. lets take a look at my background in tennis. wait, i dont have one. lol. okay anyways my friends played every once in a while at the gym so i decided to come along and play too. i have 4 racquets, one that i dont know where it is, it is brand new and never used - but lost somewhere in my house. one that i got a long time ago for god knows what reason since i didnt play at that time either. and then two that i bought for 20 dollars each at walmart that are jr racquets when i played once with my friend. i also have a very very old one that i had when i was like in 5th grade, again i only used it once. okay so i enjoyed the thought of playing and i wanted to get out there and not have to do jump roping everyday for cardio. but of course as soon as we started meeting up a little more to play school is over and now i dont want to have to drive there just to play tennis.
so none of my friends are into that type of thing around here and i ended up posting a thing up online to see if i could meet anyone in the area that would want to play with me. i got a few replies and no one sounded crazy so that was a good sign. anyways i replied to a few of them so i could see how often they wanted to come out since i didnt want it to be just like a weekly or every other week thing i wanted it to be pretty often. well i met the first guy (the other two are girls) on this past wednesday and he was SO nice. my first impression when i saw him in his car was he looked a little scrawny but after he got out he was in pretty athletic shape. then he asked me a few things like why i wanted to play tennis and then he taught me all the rules and stuff. and he said next time we meet hes gonna start ‘pushing more, physically’ lol. anyways he was pretty serious i thought first which i didnt really expect but then i kinda liked it cause then he was teaching me all this stuff like how the game works which i didnt know. so hopefully i can learn a little more from him enough to at least keep the ball off my side of the court and not hit it out two courts down =(
other than that not much else has been going on except studying at home. oh and also i am restricting myself to the internet for 1 hour a day (unless im working on something) and so i will be online a lot less that way i can focus more on doing what i need to do everyday. also, i think im getting addicted to being ‘on’ the computer. i mean even whenever i leave her i have to have it on. even if im watching tv its gotta be on too. even if im playing with arisu it needs to be on!! so to stop the addiction and get my priorities straight i gotta restrict the hours i’m on everyday =)
