Surgery Update and other stuff
Sep 11th
Allysa’s oral surgery went well. The doctor did a great job and cleaned her grill up real well. Allysa was a real trooper and is back to her old self again… much to chagrin. No, but really she is acting like nothing ever happened. Her mouth was hurting earlier but she is tough and hasn’t complained about it yet. She is eating and singing and dancing just like she did yesterday. It helps that Nana is here too.
I went to the recruiters office today and I am still not at weight or body fat %. I am close, but not there yet. I am going to do some hard core stuff this weekend to drop those pounds but I am confident that by tuesday when I go to the processing center I will be good to go. I was going to do my lifting for AMC Day 5 today but I think I need to sit in the hot tub and sauna tonight. I am beat after all my hard work throughout the week and especially my cycling class last night. That class is killer on the man region.
Cartoons and stuff
Sep 5th
Does someone want to tell me why I have been up since 4:30 am watching cartoons? Why do children find the need to wake up at the butt crack of dawn? I mean, I used to be up this early when I was working so I can go to the gym, eat breakfast, catch a bit of news or read emails. But when I was a kid, I couldn’t wait for saturday mornings so I could sleep in.
I may be wrong, so dad, chime in. I don’t know that I was up that early when I was a youngin’. And with so much energy too. Geez, she is running around like she ate a bowl of sugar or something. Ah well. I need to start getting up this early any way if I am going to be an Army man soon. Oh, by the way. I am at 183 lbs this morning. So that’s another pound gone. Only 4 more to go to reach my personal goal, and only about 2 more for me to be at my max weight for the Army.
Tantrum Time
Sep 2nd
Well I would love to hit up the gym sometime today, but of course Allysa is still in brat mode. Two day’s in a row now, I have gone to the gym with her and she throws a fit before we even get out of the car. She absolutely loved going to the kids club there all last week, and even on monday she enjoyed herself. Well, besides near the end when she decided that she “misses Heather”. Good job Heater, way to break a little girl’s heart.
I did end up going to the gym after I took her back home yesterday, and then again last night for the 24Lift class. Okay, so when the instructor says, “Use light weights because we are doing high reps”, he doesn’t mean “Load up the bar tough guy in the back”. That was no joke. I started out with about 45 lbs or so (cant really convert kg in my head), and ended up with about 8 lbs on my bar by the time we were done with the bar. The 12 lb dumbell was even killing me by the end of the session. Don’t be a tough guy in these classes. Take it easy for real.
I have been wanting to go all day so I can soak my poor bones in the hot tub and shed some water weight in the steam room, but so far no go. Allysa still can’t behave herself, and I am not about to leave her here with Nadia again. We are both about at our wits end with her today. She is just wilde the past few days. Constantly running around, screaming, whining, throwing things, kicking the walls. It’s just madness all day. I am so tired of it. And she doesn’t want to nap, or sleep through the night. She was up at 5 am today screaming at me to go away.. nice.
