Tired of the back pain and being devoid of any lung capacity, I asked Chuck today to become my personal trainer for about a month and see where things go. I think this means getting up at 6:30am every morning, eating healthy meals, and doing cardio, stretching, and core workouts.



I'm thinking the only way I'm going to get my back repaired and avoid back surgery is just to push through it and build up core strength and muscle/spine flexibility. I'll post on how it goes and what kind of progress I make. No, I'm not telling you my weight but I'll tell you what I eat and what my workout was :)

Wish UnkyMoods would come back. Dangit. Meanwhile I might have to create my own mood images and post them on the template at the side...hmm...that might get fun, make my own up like "Pissed off because the cube people are chewing ice again!" or "My ears are pinned to my skull because my coworker just belched in my face!" Ooh...potential.



Chuck's birthday was yesterday, although it ended up being a full weekend-long celebration lol. Ate WAY too much. Had fun. Managed to not set foot in a single club all weekend. Life is good.



Did my taxes last night cause I filed for an extension and they were due today. It was painful with a 5-figure 1099 that I'd gotten from working in Bville last year, but not unmanageable. I also had 4 other W-2's cause I worked on so many short/small projects last spring. It's amazing what kind of deduction you get when you end up driving 150 miles a day round trip for nearly 8 months! Hopefully taxes will be much simpler next year. 2 W-2's. Woot.

Rain! Isn't it wonderful? About time too. I'm hoping for a downpour that comes with some fun thunder and lightning, but at least we're getting rain in any case. (No hill sprints this week due to mud, la la la) :D
