Evening of 12-4-6
As I’ve been saying, Thanksgiving completely relaxed me. And now I have no motivation to do anything. This is bad. Very bad. Very. Very. Very bad.
I don’t work well long-term. I work well short-term. It’s hard to create artificial pressure to do things. Soon enough, I’ll find myself scrambling.
NaNoWriMo is over. …Now what do I do? I don’t know, I’m kind of bored. I’m staying up way too late. I’ll be tired at 8 PM, and stay up until 2 AM. That’s just not necessary. It’s never easy to simply GOTO bed early. I don’t know.
My previous strategy of notecarding for A&P based on the online quizzes didn’t seem to be working. I’ve been avoiding it. So I decided to try something different: Notecard everything in the book, the cross-reference with his powerpoints. Leave no stone unturned. What can I say, when I do things, I do them. Except I got up around 10 AM, and didn’t bother lifting until THREE. What the hell. I didn’t have enough time in the library afterwards to get much time. I got SOME notecarded, but…
Tomorrow may be an ambitious Tuesday. May. But, sleep is important. I’ll get up an hour later than usual (push it to 8 AM), as I don’t have class until 1 PM. I can afford it, basically. Because I won’t have much stamina if I don’t get enough sleep. I.. I don’t know. I still have spanish homework to do, as usual. I can foresee staying late in the student center. Library closes at 9:30 or something. Class ends around 9 PM. Man, I miss staying to 1 AM at the library at Rutgers. That was awesome. I’ll want to get that shit out of the way tomorrow night, rather than for Wednesday morning.
And I have a paper due in a week. Funny, wasn’t it due in a couple weeks just a .. couple weeks ago? Gah. I can’t do multiple things at once, it just fucks with me. Not like this. Spanish is easy because it’s small chunks that I can handle. but not giant tasks. I just need to study for this A&P exam, and THEN I need to study for the final.
Tomorrow’s my last Leg Day of Death. I intend to do some PR testing on Friday and Saturday because .. Because! (Okay, I frequent a forum where there’s other nerdy scrawny bastards. We challenge each other.) I want to move heavy inanimate objects! I’m not too concerned with how much my bench as increased. Benching is for girls! : D I’m going to play around with weighted pull-ups, push presses, and then bent-over row. Saturday, I’ll try to squat 225. That’s my goal. Okay, maybe 245, if I can swing it. We’ll see. 225 will be sufficient for competing with a complete online stranger who weighs less than me. Ha ha. I don’t want to exhaust myself. I just want to get that out of the way because my old PR is horridly outdated.
My current deadlift PR is 245 for a double. Now I can rep 225 like it’s my bitch, so I KNOW I have way more than 245. The mark to beat is 265. I think I can swing 275. Maybe. I’m way stronger than I was in June. All I need is 275. Naturally if I get it, I’ll try for 285. I don’t think I’ll crack 300, as that’ll be an insane jump in one day. But, I’m rather motivated. More motivated than all the other crap I have to do. To the think the current chapters in A&P are muscle cells, and the nervous system. Very fascinating stuff! ..Which I don’t feel like memorizing right now!
In other words, I intend to whip out my balls Friday and Saturday, and shake them around. Ha ha. Kind of exciting, actually. Well, at least I have something to look forward to.
I should sleep, right? Ah, I want to superset milk with cottage cheese first. I want to get my weight up over 157.6 so my average is over 157.
Agreed. I’m a deadline guy as well. That’s why NaNo worked for me. Since Nov 30th, I’ve not written a word to expand my novel.

Ha, I have NaNoWriMo shock too. I sit around and I’m like, “Hey, what do I do NOW?”

It does seem like there’s a lot of extra time just laying around in December – and I’m using none of it wisely. Alas, I’m with you and what little motivation I had earlier in the semester is long gone now. Have fun with your balls this weekend! It’s all about rewarding yourself.

RYN: Not only that, you could maybe pick me out of a crowd now! The real question is, how would you pronounce my name?!

It took my husband FOREVER to get his weight over 150. Just get married, that seemed to work for him. (haha) He’s up to about 175 I think, but he is 6’5″ so that’s still insanely skinny. Asshole.

RYN: You know Timmy, I was hinting to perhaps GET your aim name. But that’s okay. Here’s mine: istealtoys

RYN: Yes, you should be jealous of my banana… because it tasted wonderful sliding down my throat. HAH! Oh, and as far as your weight issues, keep working hard. It’s paying off… it just takes time… which sucks when you’re impatient like I am. I’m all about instant gratification, and I’m not sure that it’s such a good quality at times.. LOL!

RYN:You’re doing things the right way (I didn’t mean to imply that you had serious “issues” with your weight, of course!) Slow is always good, when it comes to gaining or losing. You keep up the good work! It’s paying off!
