Ramblings of a Samurai and his Duct Tape

So glad I'm on my weekend

This week has been brutal. The new years holiday was quite busy for me, I worked 11 hours on the eve, and 10 hours on new years day. So glad I get holiday pay for that 11. I need it since I did go out and get that shiny new Xbox. And I'm loving every bit of it. Kinect adventures is quite fun. But my money is depleted now, so no more kinect specific games for now. Once I get this week's and last's paycheck next week, I'll know how far I have to jump into my savings to pay off my bills. But considering the toke rate this week, the 39.75 hours I got, and the holiday pay, I may not even have to dip into it! Here's to hoping! (Drinks some celebratory whiskey)





Now with the new Xbox I dove back into p90 again. It was difficult to keep up with it during the holidays and my hours, so I was pretty sporadic until my old xbox died. I've now done 3 of 4 days in a row (needed to catch up on some sleep), and am going to stick with it. I even took a few liberties with it on monday. In the video he says to slow down if we can't keep up. Well I remembered reading about interval training, and while I don't remember the specifics I remember the general gist of it. I did the whole p90 sweat at high intensity, and when I couldn't keep up anymore, I stopped the video and played some kinect adventures. I made sure to do some of the games with lots of jumping around, and after I realized my heart rate had fallen to normal active gaming, I stopped kinect and resumed the p90 video at high intensity. I think I may keep doing that on my sweat days.





I'm still struggling with the sculpt portion as too many things pop. I just don't want to get injured again. I'm trying to decide if I should take another pound off my weights for some of the exercises just to be on the safe side, or if it would be worse to do those exercises with unbalanced weights. I'll ponder that one tomorrow.





All this thinking about p90 has caused me to remember a dream from the other day, and this one even weirds me out. I received a delivery of a bunch of stuff, some I wanted and some I didn't. There were supplements I wanted so I'd get more benefits from my working out. I wanted those, though I didn't know if I would use all of them as there were quite a few. Then there was some machine that I don't remember other than the fact I was ambivalent about it. And then there was the thing I really didn't want... A personal enema machine.





AN ENEMA MACHINE!





EWWWWW!!!





I argued with the delivery man that I didn't want it, but he wouldn't take no for an answer and eventually I took it. We'll just leave that at ewww.





I'm about to go to bed, and am now hoping that by writing about this so soon before bed that I don't dream about enema machines again. That would be bad. And again, eww.
