Will do, Chillen. Will do.

Last night when I first read that I thought you were saying you wanted to see me naked. So, uh, yeah. That's about all I have to say aboot that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


This live chlorophyll stuff, seriously, just the thought of its taste is enough to ruin my day. Next time I'm getting the minty stuff or some spirulina tablets or something. It's just... it tastes like the distilled essence of rotting gleet. Maybe worse, I wouldn't actually know. Yes, I am going to whine about this every day until it runs out. Should be a month or so.

In other news, weighed in at 211.2 again this morning. But, and I'm sorry if this is TMI, I haven't shot a deuce since Saturday afternoon. So, I'm sure I'm holding some weight. Also a little perplexed, because I've been getting a good 25-50g fibre per day (some of it supplemented), so uhm, why no dookie. Is mystery.

Also, DietPower does strange things. Like, when my calorie bank balance starts to shoot up but my weight doesn't decrease accordingly, it starts taking big chunks out of my calorie budget. Not very bright if you ask me. "Hey this person isn't eating enough, let's recommend they eat less!" I understand the reasoning, to an extent, but I don't think it should be making these modifications until it has more to work with, like in the case of its projection numbers for average intake and weight and such.

LOL, no. Im not like that.

Hope your day goes well, young man.

60 mins, stationary cycling, 704 calories, ~18 miles

'Bout to eat my 2nd high fibre meal of the day. I want to drop bombs... 3 times a day. Like the guy in the youtube video said.

Might hop on the bike again later. I actually find it quite... I don't know, soothing. Can't wait to hit the weights tomorrow. Gonna try out some of the stuff I learned about bench and military press form. Should see some pretty big improvement.

Wish I had my straps, but won't likely till Thursday's workout. Hopefully, by then. Apparently TD has been messing with some of the orders I charged to my Visa recently. This angers me. I pay off every charge as I make it, what the **** is suspicious about that? The day a bank actually follows my instructions re: what I would NOT like done for 'my own safety', I will **** in my pants. Fascists, everywhere.

I don't have to worry about that, because girls don't poop.

It appears I maybe just messed up the data entry. This is me, looking like a sanctimonious douche.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone but me, Sara. T_T

I heard girls don't fart, though.

Edit: Wait, what. Am I supposed to read this book? Guess I'd better make a stop at Chapters on the way home.

Edit: Then I checked it out and felt like an idiot. Curses.

I don't understand who the author of that book was trying to help. I mean, I don't personally have any kids, but I've been a nanny, and as far as I can tell, kids don't need to be told that it's ok to poop.

I think it's meant more as entertainment for 3-5 year olds. But I only glanced at it very briefly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

210.0 this morning. Almost exactly on target, still. But uhh, hardly any dookie, so where did that massive quantity of beans, grains and salsa go? Damn. This **** doesn't make any sense.

Overslept a little today.

I know Mine was supposed to be humorous too. Cause kids are poopy.

Apparently I am the only one who is failing to understand the funnies. I will now go spill the tears of my unfathomable shame all over some iron. Hopefully they'll wash off the blood from last week.

This has become a weird-@ss journal...

Yeah, well, your face is a weird-@ss journal!!

Thoughts:

Me likey straps. Me likey much. Uhm, other than that, just a good, solid session. The numbers are nice. Other than my bench, which doesn't seem to want to improve. Felt like the form changes actually made it considerably harder. Time's way too high, but I was figuring stuff out, so it'll be much better next run. Rounded my shoulders some on the deadlift. Gotta watch that. I think it'll go away once my core's had a couple weeks to get used to not being a bum. But uh, yeah, that's about it.

Well, other than, WOOT!

Do you always do two sets? Have you considered using the more traditional 3 - 5 sets?

Just part of my "takin' it easy to start" policy. (Last time I began with just the two -- the one, really, the first set is only a warmup in most cases -- and was up to 4 fairly quickly. I was following HGM at the time). I figure it's not a good idea for me to be starting at a gallop like I have in the past. I tend to go super strict for a couple months and then burn out. Also, I've been very sedentary for most of a year. Over the course of a month or two I will most likely work up to 3-4 work sets, although much of what I have read indicates that a rank beginner like myself shouldn't be doing more than a certain # of total sets per body part.

In short, yes, but I've decided against it for the moment. I get a pretty good workout from what I'm doing. In the past I would work so hard that I would actually collapse for a long time and/or throw up after weight training. I'm trying to avoid that approach until the habit is ingrained.

Just (finally) ordered a copy each of NROL and TNT . Not sure why I didn't ages ago.

Wait, what. Why am I awake.
