I got a new Casio CA53 (calculator watch) today yay! :)
More details later, but for now...
Yesterday I was so exhausted that I didn't have the energy to do ANYTHING, so today I was already worn out. My schedule was pretty massive today, as I had FOUR hours of TaeKwonDo because of Forms Clinics. So from 9am-1pm I did TKD with NO BREAK. YIKES. Needless to say, when I got home I was bushed. However, I knew it was time to push play, so I did. Today was Shoulders and Back again (and Ab Ripper X). I pushed hard too! My goal was to at least match my last numbers, but increase each rep by 1 if I could, and I met that goal. When the whole shootin' match was over, I was so tired I couldn't move. LITERALLY. I was so tired I couldn't even lift my head up and had to call for a pillow right there where I laid because I was hurting my neck. After about 20 minutes of laying there like a beached whale, I got SiCk...0_o REALLY SICK. Like, fraternity house on a Saturday night kind of sick. I'll leave the details to your imagination, but it was gnarly.
Here's the lesson of the day though: it won't stop me. Half my insides are now floating through a sewer somewhere, but by dern, it won't stop me. Tomorrow I will push play, and if need be, vomit. And I will repeat that process, vomit and all, until I am fit, and after. Folks, it's not about being perfect...it's about not quitting. And I am NO quitter. I am a Sharp, and that has implications. Sharps are not quitters, even those of us who are fat. If you are considering P90X, don't let your lack of fitness stop you. If a fat, lazy guy like me can do this, SO CAN YOU!
On another note, my beloved Casio DataBank 150 calculator watch died, and despite my best efforts, I could not resurrect it. I took it apart, monkeyed with it, but it was no use...it was gone. So, I went and got its replacement, a Casio CA53. For those of you not into Geek culture or trivia, that is the same watch worn by Marty McFly in "Back to the Future", and Sting on the cover of the single "Wrapped Around Your Finger". Okay, those were the CA50's, but they don't make those anymore. Cosmetically they are identical, with a slight modification to the resin band, and the internal mechanisms are a little updated, but the average person can't tell the difference. I know, I know, I'm a geek, but I'm proud of it. It's who I am. I have never hidden the fact that I love science, technology, comic books, games, and Sci-Fi. Be who you are and be proud of it.
