03: Slow motion

There are just six days left until I finish my last final exam for the semester. I've decided to start my strength training a little early, and will begin that full-time on Monday, following my exam. I've decided that I can't wait until January 2 to get started, and this last week feels more like a month. It doesn't help that I have to skip Muay Thai class this week so I can study for finals.

Hitting the gym a little early should help break me in a bit before I begin a legitimate full-time training schedule.

I went to the gym after school today, simply out of anxiousness. I ran two miles and did some light lifting.

I'll be in PA for four days this month, and I should manage to hit the YMCA while I'm there (you get in free with a military I.D. if you live out of state).

However, I'll schedule my training as if those days don't exist. I plan on doing some social drinking while I'm there, since I'll be visiting with friends that I haven't seen in more than two years, and well - I gotta have my tequila on New Year's Eve!

Drinking days will be few and far between once January rolls around, which is another part of the reason why January 2 is my "official" start date. Holiday celebrations will be over, and it will be time for business.

This evening, I made a healthy dinner - salad with tomatoes, red onions, carrots, hard-boiled egg, grilled chicken, and a few slices of pepperoni for flavor (I know, I know ...). No dressing, though - the pepperoni replaced that. So, it was mostly healthy, anyway. It tasted great.

Right now, I'm going to watch some television while I do some shin conditioning. Then, I'll spend the rest of the night studying for finals.

25 days.
