Cannonball

I think I might be done counting the days, frankly it just getting harder and harder to figure it out (especially when I leave 6+ days in between posts these days and apparently I am an idiot at math) - so I don't know if I'll forever give it up... when I think about it too much it feels like I should probably keep going with it for tradition-sake, but... here's to change! So for now I'll just keep going with my song-name titles.

Potluck was last night, so I refuse to weigh myself in the next couple of days... I need that time to recover from the amount of food we had. There was sushi, pasta salad, lasagna, mac n' cheese, caesar salad, potato casserole, korean noodles, cheesecake, cupcakes, beer, apple pie. It went well, but it was definitely a little nervewrecking the first little while as these are not my best friends, they are my new friends from class, so I would actually have to entertain them to a certain degree, keep the conversation going. I was really afraid that they wouldn't have a good time and wouldn't come over ever again... haha, yes, I know I am unreasonable, but that just seems to be how a woman's mind works. So it was a little quiet to begin with, but once people had some beer in them, and more food arrived, all was well. We played some boardgames, chatted and most of all... ate and ate. My cheesecake was a hit, so I am super happy with that, although the huge amount of vegetables I cut didn't get eaten, so I suppose that is what I'll be munching on for the rest of the week (which is really atonement for this past week).

So... on to a review of the past few days... exercise did go really well for a couple of days, so well in fact that I was almost too sore to go on Wednesday; my back and ass really ached, so I figured giving the muscles a little break was better than keeping on straining them. On Thursday we had a softball practice (and on the most gorgeous day ever), we played... I mostly pitched, but by the next day, from bending down to pick up balls and even from throwing and catching, my ass (still) hurts, my back (still) hurts, my shoulders and weirdly... my hands...frankly I didn't even know we had significant muscle in our hands. Oh yes.. and the burn.. I did put sunscreen on, but totally forgot about my legs, not cool. I now have this weird looking red-sock thing going because the damn burn only goes halfway up my calf (damn capris), and my chest got burnt with little spots on the back of my arms. Anyway, the pain in those has started to recede, so that's one positive.

The food was never good... I couldn't keep myself from munching. The days would go by fine, but then by the evening I would continually make trips back and forth to the kitchen. This is certainly the way I procrastinate and it's going to make me fat again if I keep it up. I don't quite know where the motivation went, I thought that being back at the gym would make me avoid the bad stuff as to not ruin all my hard work, but instead it seems to just justify it a little more. Now that the potluck is over, and I seriously need to get down to studying, I am going to make a more concerted effort to get the food in control. I just need to keep myself busy (STUDYING).

Alright.. and as for pictures... Me... dancing? I think? (obviously this is the unedited version...)
