Not much tonight. Really a blah-ish kind of day. Work was pleasant, the weather was pleasant, the staf and guests were pleasant. Dear God... I hope I'm not turning into someone who only thrives in chaos... nooooo.
Going to the movies tomorrow night with friend Casey and friend Liam. Silver City has the special events thingie and tomorrow night is the filmed version of Stephen Sondheim's Company starring lots of fabbo folks. I'll be interested in friend Liam's reaction but however he feels about it I think it's pretty cool that his first reaction wasn't (the 14 yr old version of) HELL NO. Cool dude.
I think more of my body than usual was engaged during my golf game yesterday. I figure that accounts for a: why I played better and b: why I am sore as hell today. *YIPES*. Those muscles at the top, back of yer legs... ouch.

day one hundred and sixty four
Most excellent golf day ever. Seriously people... I was on fire. We got rained on for three holes or so but other than that the day was pleasant enough temp-wise. I am honestly over the moon at how well I played. I guess 24 lbs does make a difference :) It might also help that I don't drink copious amounts of beer on the course anymore. I'm that guy who actually thinks I'm going to play better with a couple of beers in me . Uhhhh... no.
That said... not much else tonight. Pretty tired from all the fresh air and looking forward to hitting the sheets. And dreaming of playing golf again soon :)
G'night chums

day one hundred and sixty three
So... I bought a new bathing suit today. After last time's loss of the bottoms at Waterfit I knew it was due. It was fun to try on different models now cuz I have more choice. It turns out tho.... unless I'm missing something, bathing suit trying on is unpleasant no matter what size you are. I think I tried on 10 suits and by the end I was a hot mess. The other unfortunate thing about bathing suits is the inserted bra. Apparently swimsuit makers out there think that if you are a size 14 or above you have a ginormous rack. I do not possess this particular attribute. So there's me and then there's this enormous amount of bra material. *Yipes* I'm assuming the excess braness serves as a flotation device in case of emergency.
Great workout today. I giggle every time I write that. It's true tho. Weird thing is push ups. I have been slacking off on my push ups of late and did I ever notice it today. My first set of 21 I could only do 6. I did my other things and came back for my set of 15. Those I tossed off no prob. The point I'm making here is that on my first set it was actually like my body "forgot" how to do them. I think it goes to show that my legs and core are fully engaged in my day so they retain the muscle memory of how to do the exercises. My arms are apparently useless appendages that hang from my body and serve no purpose. So....
This week's goal : engage the upper body as much as possible. Really work on the push ups. I need to set a (reasonable ) goal for how many I'd like to be able to do in a row. I'm going to shoot for 25 but really aim for 30... wish me luck :)

day one hundred and sixty two
Went to the walk - in clinic this morning. Diagnosis : thrush... just as I had expected.
EXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING *** boy readers may just want to wait til tomorrow. Squeamish girl readers as well...
So... thrush. You wonder what thrush is. Well it's a fungal infection. As women it mostly manifests itself in the form of yeast infections. This particular variety is not treated with vagisil. No, this gets some nasty liquid called nystatin that one swishes and swallows. My mouth is vile. All I can say is... it's a good thing our va-jay-jay's don't have taste buds. My mouth tastes like a rancid pigeon crapped in it and then died. I imagine the only up side Project-wise is that I'm not really eating anything cuz it all tastes the same ... evil.
Alright, enough of that. training tomorrow with EJ so I'm off to swish and swallow and sleep.

day one hundred and sixty one
Early post tonight cuz I feel like shit in a shingle. No two ways around it: it's been a tough week and I think it just caught up to me.
The good news is the temp dropped so I'm able to soak in a nice hot tub.
I think I have thrush or something cuz my tongue is covered with a vile coating which has left me with muck mouth since yesterday. I fear sleep is the only cure. I head there now.
Stay well, com padres and talk to you tomorrow...

day one hundred and sixty
70 days left.
I sometimes wonder if I'm going to miss this act of writing every night. I'm certainly going to miss the idea of it, but as for the actual sitting down to do it... ummmm... maybe not. There is a service offered by this site where you can get your blog(s) printed and bound. Like a real live book. This is something I'm thinking seriously of doing. Sort of keeping the historical record, as it were. Also I figure during the long slog that will be maintenance (aka the rest of my life) it will prob'ly be helpful to review the source material when I'm needing some guidance or a remembery of what this felt like. Strangely, I haven't reviewed any of them. I write 'em then move on to the next day. This writing has been valuable to me, no question and who knows... I may start another blog and pick up where this one leaves off :)

day one hundred and fiftynine
Well.... I think any day that's starts with a power outage can't be all bad. Crazy start but we got electricity about 10:30 so all was well. Until the humidity descended. Jesus Christ on a cracker it was hot in that restaurant today. Air conditioning? Meh. If I can sit in a puddle of my own sweat at home (as I'm doing now) than I can certainly do it at work. Yep... tomorrow I get that looked at.
No gym today. Turns out 11 hours running around in a sweatbox feels just like exercise. Good day eating but resorted to the trusty peanut butter at dinner. The theory was to make a nice potato salad to have during the week but the thought of boiling potatoes gave me the vapours so PB it was.
Off now for a ridiculously cold shower then sprint to bed where the industrial floor fan is blowing before my body realizes how stupid hot it is.
Stay cool chums :)
