Good Morning DU!
How is everyone this Wednesday morning? Two more days until Friday! One more day until I leave (I know, you're sad. NOT). :donut: So how is everyone this morning?

This good morning thread caught me off guard because I didn't realize how late... I mean early it is. :)

10. I know
Edited on Wed Jun-23-04 05:56 AM by Champ
I'm sore too, I went to Riverview Park yesturday to play basketball and all I ask myself is why??? Everytime I go there I realize how good I am compared to these superstars in the NBA. I think I'm pretty good but everytime I go there like last night I got dunked out about 6 times(it was embarrasing :)). Over there I'm playing against people who are 6,7 inches taller then me (I'm 5'10) who are just as athletic as I am, except in a bigger body and have much better skill. It can be very hard at times, but I did alright scored 11 points. :bounce: Did you go bowling?

20. 4 days, 3 nights.
I'm very excited. If anything, I'll get a massage for this soreness. You should (if you're going to see your dad). Just give it a chance.

21. Glad your excited
I miss that feeling you get everytime you see a certain person

I hope it works out.

I don't know, I've told myself that everytime but I regret it everytime. If I'm still really undecided when he comes... I'll stay here. Atleast here I have stuff going on for me and based on past experience I don't want to make that mistake.

But you need help from him and you don't have to be afraid to admit that. What are you going to lose by going for ONE weekend? It can't be the end of the world can it?

And thanks. I really hope it works too. I just can't describe the way I feel when I'm with him. :shrug:

23. One weekend?
Edited on Wed Jun-23-04 06:27 AM by Champ
I don't have that kind of option, it will likely be an entire month. It's always ok at first but it always gets worse trust me on this. But I don't know it could be fine but I always tell myself to give it a chance, and always regretting it you know I mean? I also don't need his help that bad, I've done fine without him for 13 years.

Trust me, I know exactly what you mean by the way you feel.

24. It's your choice.
And no one's forcing you to go, that's for sure. I'm just saying, who knows if he will help with the car, etc. He owes it to you, you don't owe him so I see why you wouldn't want to go. Good luck with whatever you decide.

It's great isn't it? At the same time, very difficult.

27. I know it is
I'm just telling you what I'm contemplating. I want to go for those reasons but at the sametime I don't want to based on past experience.

It really is a special feeling, if you two can maintain your feelings for each other the relationship has no choice but to work out. I'd give anything to go back to that time and do things differently, but all I can do is move foward.

Work. Sleep for a few hours. Come back down to work for us to take a picture of the department. Sleep a few more hours. Work out (oh god). Finish my laundry and pack. That's it. You?

What kind of workouts will you be doing?

My day: GET SOME SLEEP, wake up and do some workouts as well, then go swimming. Look for something to do, hopefully I met a friend. Give me a reason to stay down here for the summer :)

41. These.
10 minutes of stretching and warming up. 15 minutes on the bike. 4 sets of 15 reps of me putting the tips of my feet on the stairs and doing painful up/downs. 100 crunches. 1.5 miles on the treadmill. 2 sets of 15 pushups (ha, now that really hurt). Stairstepper for 2 minutes (yep, dying by this point). Let's not forget wonderful lunges. The other two things are hard to describe. Both lying on back. One is my grabbing his ankles while my legs are extended off the floor in front of me, using my abs to kick my feet up while he pushes them back down (and not allowing my lets to hit the ground). I attempted 2 sets of 15. That hurt. The last thing was me lying on my back, legs extended towards the celing, my butt off of the floor. He holds my ankles while I tighten my abs and lift up and down off the floor. (not sure if this makes sense).

43. Sounds like alot
But you will be rewarded by how you feel overall and you'll notice results. I usually do about 200-300 situps at a time and sometimes more and all I got is a flat stomach, no 6-pack :evilfrown: Besides being sore overall how do you feel after the workouts?

45. Um, I feel decent.
But I'm really sore otherwise. Hopefully the workouts I do today will help solve that. I'm tired of being sore. 200-300 situps? That's awesome!

47. Eh it's not that impressive
I know people who can do 500-600 and many of those NFL players do up to 800-1000 (that is extremely hard, I tried doing that one time) I feel good and healthy from working out, running, playing basketball that's why I do it.

33. Sorry,
I had to go to watch several presentations yesterday. We're getting a couple of new staff & everyone had to watch their (the prospective new guys) lectures. They were ok, but a bit of a waste of time (no (pretty) girls).

Did you get your ticket sorted out?

I'm so happy you're going to see your man!!! You must be uber-excited!! :hug: :hug: :hug:

Yeah, things have been really nuts since the b-day. I've had shit to do every night, friends to catch up with, work functions to go to (and I've been busy at work to boot), and I even took a weekend trip to meet my girlfriend's family. I'm really sorry I haven't been around so much!! :cry: What've you been up to darlin? How's the job treating you?

So I take it that things with the girlfriend are good? :) That's really great to hear! How did the parents like ya? (Not that I have to ask that considering how awesome you are). Sorry to hear that you're been pretty busy lately. Glad you took the time to come by this morning though.

Uber-excited? YES. DEFINITELY. I'm going crazy and not really sure how I'm going to make it for the next 31 hours (yes, I've even got it down to when my plane touches down). Sad, huh? Work is going good, get my raise on the 28th so I'm excited. That's pretty much all that is going on really. Just been super busy. Thanks for asking!

34. Aww!
You're so cute!! :hug: Your boyfriend is VERY lucky to have you! Congrats on your raise! That's fantastic and well deserved!! Sounds like life is going pretty well over there, and it couldn't happen to a better person!! :hug:

Yeah, things are going very well with the girlfriend. The family did seem to like me, and from what I understand, they've had a violent distaste for all of her other boyfriends, so that's a good thing I guess. It hasn't been a horrible busy though - it's been mostly fun things, but I'm starting to need a little time alone. I'm not used to CONSTANTLY being around other people (girlfriend or otherwise), so I think I need to take a night and hide soon (not to mention, my writing is getting completely ignored, which is NOT good.) But I can't complain. It's been a great ride, other than my shitty roommates who are driving me to move out in either August or September (as soon as my folks can provide me with some extra cash for the security deposit). I've needed to move out on my own for a while now, but they're just being total dicks now. Time to move on.

Anyway darlin, the shower calls! I'll be back shortly though!

36. Awww, thanks!
I appreciate it. I'm pretty lucky to have him as well. There are things that he's taught me that I'll never be able to explain to anyone. But since he's been in my life, I've learned to appreciate life a little more each day.

She's so lucky to have you. I'm glad to hear that things went well with her parents, especially given the history. It's nice to know when your family approves of whom you're dating. (Not that it's the ultimate say, but still). I understand about the moving situation. I'm in the same predicament. :( Hope that it works out for you! And yeah, get some time for just you. That way, you can have more time with her later and you'll appreciate it more. :D hehe.

Shower. That sounds nice. I need one of those as well.

46. Worked out Monday.
Now today. :( I'm hoping that it's going to get rid of some of the soreness. I can barely stretch out my right leg as it is. (I know, this sounds wimpy compared to you).

And I have a feeling I'll be ready to put up with anything just to get there tomorrow! :D

At least it's every other day. The workout will help with the soreness, but you won't have the endurance you had on monday. Hopefully this will be a shorter workout.

at work, cloudy and overcast, it may rain again. Should be a quiet day, reading about TCP/IP and related protocols. I'll workout at lunch.

BTW, since you're working out, no doughnut for you! :P
