as thanksgiving passes, things i am indeed thankful for

(in no particular order)

1. family (for the most part)
   
2. friends that are family
3. friends' family that are equivalent of family
4. hibisca
   
5. georgia tech (besides its big shaft, allowing me to meet aforementioned friends, coach paul johnson who can be said to not only go on 4th and inches, but 4th and lots of yards, classes that are pretty cool, and so on and so forth)
6. frisbee
7. tennis
8. jca

at present, i can also mention being thankful for getting biotransport done with minimum care and just enough concentration such that i refuse to think about it anymore before it is due at 8 am tomorrow morning, thankyouverymuch.

sigh.

two weeks until christmas break.

i died laughing today.

it felt great.

good grief

test in an hour.
then need to start studying for biomechanics, and start/finish biotransport project.
fun time this weekend? not so much.
i hope i can sleep.
well, at least there's frisbee. and a little fun?

goodbye, daylight.

fitness goals

for the rest of the semester:

- exercise at least one hour six times a week, regardless of if it's at the crc. i've got workouts i can do in the apartment, i'm going to do those. cardio three to five times a week, of which:

• 2 of them must be swimming
• 2 of them must be in the morning (almost) first thing.
• 1 of them must be running
  

- limit sodas to 36 oz. in a week (3 x 12 oz.). otherwise, water. and coffee when needed.
- eat salad every day.
- no hamburgers.

while this seems very sudden, i've realized that it's only a minor tweak in what i'm doing now. generally now, i've been working out three or four times a week:

monday: new, but recently started working out with ej on jumping.
tuesday: workout, weights. have not regularly missed.
wednesday: new, on and off -- sprint workouts (has not happened for a week)
thursday: workout, weights. have not regularly missed.
friday: lifeguard workouts, frisbee sometimes?
saturday: none -- supposed to sprint.
sunday: none

i've picked up some workouts i could do in my room. i just need to be exercising. and i want to. i just want to set these goals so at least i have some kind of accountability (i.e. you guys).
eating is probably the biggest challenge, especially with the dining hall. but hey they have salad, and i could stick to sandwiches. that would be healthy.

i haven't had much luck losing weight this semester. i've realized it's a lot harder, with some of the late nights and morning shifts, etc. and some of the minus habits of my eating. so... let's see if i can reform that.

times like these, you realize how invaluable freshman frisbee was. in caldwell. eddie knocking on the doors to tell us it's frisbee time (and no longer a choice but necessity).

time to get back to that.

this was inspired, after i realized that i am borderline obese.
sigh. so depressing. where are you tennis, frisbee, swimming???????

1-2 for orgo.

come on man, gotta get my act together.

"how to get ups," by ej layne

halle-freakin-lujah. i'm finally going to learn how to increase vert. hopefully.

mondays 2:30 to 3:30 i'm working out with ej on how to jump.
it was pretty funny to realize that i have never, since i was born, known how to jump. good to learn now.
i'm hoping this will inspire losing weight too.

o-chem test 4 and biotrans are now a thing of the past.

now for the rest of the week...

i do believe things got done this weekend.

good lord. what a weekend of work. am i going to actually last this week?

so this week's schedule for schoolwork:

monday: biotransport, orgo 2 test
tuesday: biomechanics hw, meet with lohitash about research again
wednesday: phew.
thursday: phew??... oh. nope, because...
friday: biotransport exam, 3510 assignment due

i spent wed/thurs/fri working on biotransport assignment. and like the other, it was a load of crap. managed to get it done at 10:30 on friday. my mind was pretty fried after that. managed to squeeze in 30 mins of frisbee.

sat/sun was working on orgo 2. surprisingly feel good about the material... i think.

in other news:

i'm going to try nanowrimo. the general goal will not be to complete 50,000 words.
instead it will be to consistently write for the next thirty days...
