Today, I rediscovered my drive and love for lifting. =) Here we goooooo…

LET’S DO IT, FITOCRACY!

I’m hoping this will have a positive impact on my lifting. Sad to say, but sometimes I have little self-motivation. My motivation does come in spurts, but I still find myself going to the gym only when others are also going. Hopefully this will change things. That, and my goal to not return to the apartment for pointless reasons.

Actually, I’m probably mostly self-conscious b/c I hate being the only girl lifting. Btw, Davis actually has a section with weights 20lb and below. C’mon now, Davis girls! Get a little manly!

Penguins

You know when I was younger, I went to the zoo and decided that I wanted to adopt a penguin. I didn’t get to, but every time I go back, I spend significant timing watching them.

Last week, I went with a few DB people… and they were making SO MUCH NOISE. Apparently, mating season is approaching and a lot of them were beginning to mark their territory. Cool!

lessons learning…

My dream future!!!

Old days…

Funny how time goes back so fast. I’m almost fully legal :) & I also just discovered a whole bunch of old memories while cleaning out my old stuff.

Xanga
Alternating uppercase and lowercase letters
Purposely spelling wrong (dis, wat, etc.) (Wow, a bit embarrassing.)
Unintentionally spelling wrong (studder, upsessed) Oh boy.
Spending hours on a new “layout”
Collecting stuffed animals. (Plus, the need to take pictures of the collection?)
My obsession with finding the white polka dot Jansport backpack
Huge goal of getting into the high school of my “dreams”…
Spending so much time on AIM
Spending so much time AND money at Stonestown

2012

1) Spend free time with friends.

2) Make a difference to every person you meet.

3) Get used to being out. & Pack snacks so you can spend time away from the apartment during the day.

4) Actually go to every class, even if the professor are not the best lecturers. Notes too!

5) Job number 2. Hopefully.

6) Cliche, but time management. It worked fairly well for a while. Let’s shoot for a longer run!

YAY BIOPSYCH!

Day 1

Yochan suggested this workout for me b/c the wait time doesn’t matter in between sets and the sets themselves are short. Both good for my attention span at the gym, haha. It also involves high weight, which I love, as well as my favorite workouts!

1) Squats: Ok, I was too eager to go to the gym and went although my ankle hasn’t fully recovered. I was able to do a few warmup sets, but as I approached my max weight set (it was at 85), my ankle started hurting so I stopped, sigh.

2) Bench press: I REALLY WANT TO DO MORE WEIGHT. I did my max set at 65. I tried to get to 70… but I got stuck at the bottom of the set, and couldn’t complete it. Oh well, next time!

3) Deadlift<3: I missed you so much! My ankle hurt a little bit when I did this, so I didn’t push my weight as much and just did my sets at 165. Not bad. I REALLY WANT TO WEIGHT UP MORE NEXT TIME. Will definitely work on that.

And the day after, I’m super sore. I miss but hate this feeling at the same time!!

A lot on my plate…

Just got a call from the EAVP Chief of Staff letting me know that I got a director position: Issues Alerts Director. This is not exactly what I applied for, and it’s a bit out of my comfort zone, but I can only benefit from learning right? Hmm. Anyway, I’ve just realized how busy I’m going to be. Hard ass classes… DB (love), Gamma Phi (+helping out with the new members aka the babies!), … Ok, nevermind, I’m excited! :]
