Today I tried curling 25 pounds and I swear, I think my arms almost fell off. I couldn't do 15 reps either; I had to stop at ten. I also had to take last week off because for the first time since I went vegan, I got sick. I'm pretty sure it's because I went and partied my flabby ass off over the weekend and smoked about eighty-four unfiltered cigarettes. I only smoke when I drink, and I roll my own because I can't stand the taste of those chemicals and crap they add to packaged smokes. Plus it's cheaper and less damaging to the planet. But with no filter I take easy drags rather than sucking the shit down like it's oxygen.
The running is getting easier. I've found that it's mostly a positive attitude that makes it that way. On days when I'm feeling really good and totally digging the music, it's much easier to run. On days when I'm not mentally with it, the run is murder. Oh, and now I'm running fast enough to hop over to the U.S. Army PT standards and find my run score. And my run score for this week is (wait for it!) SIX!!! Yes, six. Out of one hundred.
*shoots self in face*
Okay, there's work to be done still, obviously. Baby steps, folks. Baby steps.
