Remember how I said I didn't think I was ready for 10 pound dumbbells after I spent nearly a week unable to fully straighten my arms after using them? Well, things change because when I did my second weights workout of the week last Thursday, I felt that maybe it was getting too easy. So yesterday, on my first set of bicep curls and hammer curls, I used 10 pound dumbbells instead 8 pound ones. Today I am sore, but not in any way crippled as I was before. I must be getting stronger!********************This working later thing is, as my grandmother would say, for the birds. There were NO calls or e-mails after 5 on Monday night and after 6, the lights went off! Now I know that there is some code you can dial into your phone to have them turned back on, and I can find out what it is, but I didn't know it then, and so I was sitting in the dark. There were some lights on elsewhere on the floor and there were a few other coworkers there so it wasn't scary or anything. If it had gone completely dark and no one was there, I would have just gone home. Instead I chatted with the other people who all seemed to agree with me how ridiculous it was for me to stay late.I talked to my boss about it, and he said why don't I just do it again Wednesday (today) and then not anymore. As I had mentioned before no one (except him) had seemed to notice that I hadn't been working the later schedule, and he doesn't care so hopefully, I can just bag it all together.********************Tomorrow, March 8, is my dad's birthday. Had he lived he would be turning 78. Boy, that really makes him sound like a grandpa, but then of course, he was a grandpa. Although he officially died January 1, 2006, I truly feel he died long before that because he had Alzheimer's. We did battle over the years, but I do still have good memories of him, and I try to hold on to those. He had a good sense of humor and we used to get really silly together (something my sister and I still do).Labels: family, fitness, work posted by Miss Rachel 3/07/2007 07:55:00 AM . . .
