I hate performing badly

tpoole1 — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:33:40 +0000

So, tonight my workout really sucked…I felt weak, unbalanced and tired.

My OHS form sucked and was a LOT worse than last time I did OHS, I don’t know what happened. BUT, the big thing tonight was that I plodded on and finished the workout. Had I been at home, I would have quit. When all was said and done, I actually didn’t have a much worse time than before so all in all, I was OK with it.

There is always tomorrow! And another workout!

Regular people

So, I posted a picture of me doing a backsquat on my facebook page tonight. It was only 92 or 97 lbs (I can’t remember which one Mac took the picture of). But so many people were really amazed at me. Even though I fell sooooo weak in the gym, I guess I am a lot stronger than most people. Its interesting…

Injury

Being injured is part of being fit but no one likes it. I have my third major injury in about a year…now, its a muscle in my back (previous 2 were hamstring tear and forearm muscle tear). But its upper back so “not as bad” maybe as a lower back injury….

I am going to the sports medicine chiropractor recommended by one of my coaches tomorrow at noon, we’ll see what he says. I hope with rest, it will be OK. After two days off of workouts, it is feeling a lot better…I just don’t want to lose my strength!

splurging

tpoole1 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 20:20:01 +0000

SO, I totally splurged and bought a macbook pro. Its not like I really have the money but my other video editing computer was stolen last winter so I had some insurance money left over…

So far, I am converted! It is cute, small, and much easier to use than I thought. The biggest disappointment is that the iMovie is not as technical as I thought it would be. Don’t get me wrong, the clarity and speed are great, but compared to what I was used to using in adobe, one is very limited using iMovie in terms of effects and music.

Overall, I am happy with the purchase, we’ll see if I feel the same when the credit card bill comes :)

David Letterman

tpoole1 — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 18:10:29 +0000

So, David Letterman, confessed to having sexual affairs with some of his staffers to a live audience. Its interesting…no one seemed really fazed by it. Its interesting because if he was a politician, it would be a scandal! Ha, I think its funny!

Gluten free

tpoole1 — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:53:21 +0000

So, I have been gluten free for a week (with the exception of two beers during the Wisconsin game and I feel really good! After about three days, I really felt less bloated…an added benefit and without getting into too much detail, my lower GI especially, is feeling much better these days. Has it been hard? Not really, the beer is the hardest thing but you know, I don’t really need all of those extra calories any way! This way it will be more of a treat! The most difficult is snacks…its so easy to grab some crackers, etc. What I need to do is find snacks that are made of things other than wheat and I’ll be in business. YAY!
