I'm about to pull my hair out! But to begin....
For those of you keeping track of how I'm doing with my resolutions, I'd give my progress a C+ right now. I've been to the gym three times this week, so I need one more trip in this week to make it complete. For my weight loss, I'm about on pace, but got a little behind after deciding to splurge on the new Olive Garden at the Highlands. Didn't know that soup was a refillable drink! ;) But, I've about made up the ground that I lost, and after today's workout, when I weigh myself in the morning, I should be back on pace. And yes, I do have a pace chart, and I update it everyday!
As for the other resolutions... it's been too short of a time to really put a dent in payoffs, but I have put stuff on my credit cards again, which kinda inflates the figure. I haven't been able to get on a steady sleep schedule, because of my addiction to the DOMO game I am playing now. I've been doing good on the whole watching what I eat resolution, but I've snuck in some candies during downtime at work, so yes, I have cheated a bit!
This week's gym sessions have been... interesting... not much lifting going on, but a lot of cardio, and a lot of racquetball! Monday, I played a couple games with Matt, and during the first game, when he was returning one of my shots, he managed to hit me in the elbow... with his racquet... ouch! It really stung when he hit, but it didn't hurt after the initial hit. As usual, when I suffer some sort of bodily harm during racquetball, I got a kick out of being hit with the racquet, and continued on. My elbow didn't hurt after that, although I did really suck in the second match.
But, after showering up after the workout, when I got in my car to drive home, I put my arm down on the arm rest, and wouldn't you know it? A shot of pain rushed through my entire arm, stemming from the place on my elbow where I had been hit! After experiencing this pain, my elbow that had not hurt up until this point was now throbbing in pain, even when being still and untouched. I was feeling pretty miserable, but at least the injury opened a door to a conversation with the girl at a coffee shop I stopped at on the way home! ;) In the end, I think that I have a deep bone bruise, or something like that. It still hurts today, although not as severe, nor as constant as before. So, I hope I'm healing up!
But I still want to pull my hair out! Here's why... I know that everybody here is familiar with the flow of Japanese TV schedules... (sarcasm)... for those of you who may not know, I'm a bit of an anime freak, and during the new year celebration, the TV stations decide to stop airing new anime until the second week of the new year. There was pretty much a period of about three weeks where I had no new shows to watch! Well, being the second week of the new year, the shows are back on, and all of my favourites have been aired, subbed, and watched by yours truly... except for one... Clannad. It was the one I was looking forward to the most, and it has not been released yet! So, I'm pretty well going mad right now. I've watched some of the older Clannad episodes a few extra times through, just to get my "fix", but I am aching for new goodness! Wait, that's my elbow. But you get the point! I've been patient for three weeks with no new Clannad, but now, it's within grasp, but I can't reach it!
Ok, that's enough for now. Interested to see comments on this one! Later all!
