goal #1: beat december
i don’t really have any “resolutions”. i mean, i do, but they are the same as every year: focus. be healthy. travel. do more good. accomplish stuff. take on something new. etc. etc. the calendar flip gives a good impetus to reexamine these things, but they aren’t new.
anyway, i am now in my 8th week of dealing with my neck/shoulder problem, and it is getting better. or, at least, working short days and having two 4-day weekends in the last 2 weeks made it feel a lot better, but the problem is still there, i can feel it. am still waiting to see if i can get an MRI (HMO health insurance grumblegrumble).
as such, i am continuing “focus on my body” as my daily mantra, and i guess you could say that in the short term, i do have one resolution: Beat December.
at the Y, you can set up to have a computer system track all your weight lifted for machines that are linked to the computer, and then you log your own cardio, either at the gym or elsewhere. these are my workout reports for Dec 09. 22 workouts, 123,010 lbs lifted, 4,296 extra calories burned.
at the gym, they put up charts showing monthly rankings for people using this system. i’m not sure if it’s competitive or just meant to inspire. in November, i was 5th in my age bracket; in December i was 3rd. what’s crazy is that the woman who was #1 had TEN TIMES the number of points i did. she must work there or something.
so in January, i want to beat 5,690 points. i’m behind to start, since i haven’t been to the gym yet this month, but i’m looking forward to catching up.

Info porn. I love it. Wish they did this at 24 hour fitness.
maybe she has an eating disorder and compulsively excercises.
ok “Miu”, even though you’re being bitchy, i’m gonna address this.
caring about what you eat and incorporating daily exercise into your routine in order to be as strong and healthy - YES, HEALTHY - as possible does not in any way indicate an eating disorder. i don’t “compulsively” exercise. i have to drag my ass to the gym nearly every time. and haven’t you noticed from previous posts that i’m trying to counteract a physical problem?
stop being a troll or i’ll block you.
Nonono. I wasn’t talking about you at all. I am healthy and excercise, too. I was talking about the lady who is number one at the gym. I’ve seen ana girls at my gym and yoga studio. I’ve seen the girls w. excess bodyhair, limbs that seem like they will break at the slightest provocation in sadly baggy clothes that would be body-con on a healthy body. It’s hearbraking to see them spend hours on the stairmaster or whatever.
oh –oops. sorry. my bad.
