I passed dharma, 10330 to 10288. I like seeing my score creeping up from the slow but steady trickle of points from my diet/exercise accountability postings (it's like a mini-reward for being good), but this also means that she hasn't been around to blog as much as I (and others) would like. I think points are recalculated daily, but I'm not certain. I see great deals of fluctuation in certain blogs' points, but no real trend or pattern. Basically, though, the more prolific writers do b...

No PT this morning, I had other commitments. I've done a (very) little exercise over the course of the day, but I've been very tired lately. I need to regulate my sleep, and perhaps "normal" eating over the weekend might help to rebalance me.

Apparently my JU "birthday" was 3 years and 2 days ago, May Day 2004. I didn't even realize it except I just noticed while I was checking my account status. 348 articles. Huh.

Yeah, definitely back in the swing of things today. Still sore as Hell from Saturday. Hamstrings are tight and my core (especially my lower back) is screaming at me, too. Due to lightning, we moved PT into the gym this morning. 20 minutes light work on the elliptical machine, then triceps extension, ab machine, chest press, sets of crunches, triceps extension, ab machine, and chest press. (It may have been a mistake to burn my triceps so bad this morning; getting in the prone with th...

For the first time since I've been here (and according to one senior NCO, for the first time in the three years that he's been here), our unit held a marksmanship range specifically for cadre. Usually, we'll only get to fire if there are rounds left over at a student range and the cadre range safeties feel like shooting a rifle. I haven't even been to the range here before. We were there for quite awhile (1430-1900), the first half hour of which was standing out in the rain waiting to ...

So, the 25th was PT test day, and I indulged in pizza for dinner. The 26th was a "not so good" day, and I indulged in pizza at all three meals. The 27th was alright until the evening when I got really really bored and ate (bad plan). Yesterday featured a mediocre effort topped off by chinese buffet. PT was better than my diet, in general. After my strong effort on the PT test Wednesday, Thursday wound up being a light gym day (elliptical machine and legs, IIRC). Friday was 5 miles ...

Since I moved here, I had been using a particular oil change place. In early December, when I noticed my Oil light would come on around turns (I assumed this would mean that my oil was low), I went in to get my oil changed. I figured that I either had some oil burning in the engine or that I had a leak. I asked the attendant to check to see if there were any obvious leaks. Getting no report back from them when they turned my keys over, I hoped that it was just a minor issue. I took t...

I just got $20 from Pepsi. I entered their sweepstakes exactly once. Go, me.

It's 0630 and I'm already having a very shit day. I'm going to be using some of the pizza leftover from last night to massage my hurt feelings and general pissed-offedness. On the flip side, I did a light 20 minutes on the eliptical machine, some ab machine and then some good leg press (12 reps of 230#, 8 reps of 250# and 8 reps of 270#). But I wouldn't expect much else out of me today. Fuckers.

2 minutes of pushups, 2 minutes of situps, 2 mile run Vitamin water 2 eggs, 2 slices wheat bread, slice tomato, no-fat mayo Lean Cuisine Lean Cuisine Protein Bar A whole bunch of chicken strips and pizza. So, no numbers today. The one thing I'm concerned about is leftovers. Leftovers are gonna kill me. I need to hit the gym more often... oh, look! Tomorrow is a gym day!

This morning, I did 54 pushups, 65 situps and ran the 2-miles in 15:53. That gives me a score of 230 out of 300. Sub-16 minutes on the run is actually really good for me. My pushups are about where I've been and my situps went down a few repetitions, but overall my score went up slightly (I think 7 points). I'm strongly considering taking another record PT test at the end of May. I really only prepared for this one about three weeks... another 4 weeks should see another 10 point impr...
