brightbluegirlYesterday evening was the usual... we lifted weights, did the ab workout, and stretched.
I increased the weights on my butterflyes AND my biceps! I'm feeling pretty good.
Also, I lost another pound, so now I only have 24 pounds to go. I'm motivated again. "What"? you say, "you were UNmotivated"? Welll.... sort of. More like worried I was screwing up.
A neat thing that I noticed is the difference in strength in my left bicep and my right bicep. 11 years ago, when I went for my black belt grading (3 hours of hard work - so hard I even carbo-loaded beforehand), I strained my left bicep and separated my left shoulder. So when I did the increased weights on my bicep curls - my left bicep worked really hard (and just stopped working on rep 11 of set 3), and my right bicep just worked a little harder than before, but not nearly as hard as the left one.
I'm thinking that I want to try doing 4 days of lifting this week instead of 3. Which would mean lifting on Saturday. BUT Saturday was supposed to be my day off. As I have discovered, skipping a day off is a really bad idea. And I don't want to use one of my precious weekend days for a day off - that means we can't go anywhere or do anything, and that would suck. So either I a) don't do an extra workout or b) take Friday off instead of Saturday.
I'm leaning towards taking Friday off.
I had a dream last night that my hair was long again, and blue again (oh happy day), and I was getting ready to go out but there had been a windstorm and one of my blue boots was missing. And there was this way that we could meld glass and metal into our skin, and I wanted some blue, purple, and green glass in pretty shapes in my skin, and this guy was getting ready to help me with that. He wanted to have sex with me and I was teasing him to get what I wanted.
We were going to a concert "on the wall" and it was probably the Berlin wall or something like that, and it was all very dark and gothy and dirty and industrial (my ticket was a chip with the word industrial on it).
But I couldn't find my one blue boot.
I was still going to go, though. I think I was just going to wear different boots or something.

I dyed it blonde for my mother's christmas visit, and I was going to dye it back, but now that I'm looking for a job I'm just waiting on that for awhile.
