happy little things
Things that brought me pleasure today:
Talking to Blair twice
Praise from a very respected professor: And thank you for reading so carefully. What you wrote this week displays more sensitivity and understanding of the text than anything else I read this week.
Listening to Sigur Ros' "Glosoli" in bed right now while petting Marla
Finishing the Insanity fit test and feeling good
Buying a plane ticket and a hotel room for Mike's wedding
Having a good friend tell me about regaining his confidence and sense of self
Really great lecture on William James' The Varieties of Religious Experience (more on that book later)
Perfect water temp in the shower when I got in
This news story
Feeling loved by so many people around me

oh fuck you, workout.
58 minutes ago
Me: going to give Insanity another try
and probably want to kill myself
Steve: right on
just pace yourself
and remember it is supposed to kick your ass
Me: that helps
seriously
because otherwise, I'll be like "I"M WEAK"
53 minutes ago
Me: okay
going now
wish me luck
Steve: cluck
45 minutes ago (The Warmup)
Me: oh noes
I just tried planking and my whole body was trembling
I am so fucked
Steve: umm
what was planking
Me: the pushups
Steve: oh
girls have problems with those
Me: ok fit test time
Steve: are you doing the fit test?
yeah remember that this is a "before" test
just do what you can do
14 minutes ago
Me:oh my god
Steve: are you ripped now
Me: I made it 1/3 of the way through the fit test
and I must ask you, why do you hate me?
that is satan's workout
Steve: haha
slow it down
Me: I finished the knee lifts and I was reduced to trembling
I realized I was going to throw up, so I stumbled to the bathroom and did
then I came back, vainly hoping to try and do some more of the video
and I realized I was either going to puke or pee myself and really, I wasn't sure which
Steve: thats hilarious
Me: so I sat in the shower, trying to unhook my sports bra and shaking
and turned the cold water on full blast
and sat in there throwing up
I'm still shaking and I feel sort of euphoric
my legs are kind of numb
Steve: the only thing i can recommend is to repeat each day until you learn to pace better and build up some cardio
the workout i did today was the same one i had to do 4 times in a row
but now i can get through the whole thing because i know how to pace it better
Me: I'm going to keep doing the fit test til I can finish it
then try the first workout
I WAS going slow
Steve: if you can only do 3 of something, you can only do 3
Me: by the end of the switch kicks, I was having to stop
Steve: how many did you do?
Me: I did 67 switch kicks (probably too many), 31 squats and 53 knee lifts
Steve: fuck
there's your problem
i did 55
22 squats
50 knee lifts
Me: so what you're saying
is I was doing better than you until I lost all control of my bodily functions and almost pissed myself
Steve: yes
precisely
Me: going to give Insanity another try
and probably want to kill myself
Steve: right on
just pace yourself

street cred
I just registered to become a minister through the Universal Life Church. I'm also looking into requirements to become a notary public, just for shits and giggles. I figure it's a potential income booster and also, a notary is not a bad thing to have around.
I hope to have a string of initials 2 lines long after my signature.

Food Diary
I'm going to keep this post to document my foods that I've eaten this month to try and convince myself to eat healthier. This isn't a shame thing (I might actually manually change the date on this so you guys don't have to read it), but just an easy means of keeping track of my day to day so I can monitor myself better.
