Consistently doing ab work now... Enjoyed Thursday's workout immensely... we switched a lot of exercises and there's one that HURT HURT HURT that worked the backs of my arms... and it was wonderful...

Most of the others were old standbys, which was fine, but I loved every straining minute of it.

I am convinced that I have my father's skeletal probs though. Last night, my other arm did the same thing. I'm very paranoid now. I do not want to have to have ribs removed to be able to continue working out and building muscle. Ugh. Maybe next month I'll actually have it looked at.

In the mood to dance, still. Probably a good thing. My knees and calves could use the workout! Also in need of a backrub, since it's been supertight all week.

Wow. Another week gone.

I started doing abs again... still feeling pudgy. It's like when I went to California, all my excess fat collected there. Everything that I lost, I gained back double. My schedule's all messed up since I'm the only one home, and I started classes. I've been eating better than usual... grabbing snacks here and there, and making sandwiches for lunch. Better, but still not where I need to be.

I decided I don't want to be 17 again. But 19 or 20 wouldnt be so bad. Friends are trying to drag me along to Red Party this weekend (one is moving back home on Sunday) but all I can think about is how awful I felt the LAST time I went dancing with shirtless men.

Not good for the self esteem.

On another note, my right shoulder is still a (literal) pain. We've been taking things fairly easy, since the last 2 shoulder workouts have been painful, and I really dont want to injure it. But, it seems to be getting stronger.

Also, I'm wondering about the condition my father has, and if I have it too. Since I've put a lot of muscle on around my shoulders, I've been having some circulation problems in my arms when I sleep. I have a tendency to sleep with my arms above my head, and this seems to be pinching the blood vessels. Now, this sounds exactly like my dad's problem... an extra partial rib on each side at the top, narrowing the opening... and if muscles grow, then there's no room... Dad had his removed. Ouch.

We shall see.

So I took a week off and now I feel pudgy again. Two workouts this past week, but still pudgy.

I gotta start upping my ab workouts again... I found a half-dozen shirts that I really need to lose my stomach for, so I even started hopping on the treadmill more. I just feel like I'll never lose it.

And, I guess someone else will be starting at my gym.
