Why do you have a hamster in your pocket?

Why do you have a hamster in your pocket?

I am back-dating this, because it is nearly a week later. Last week was... well, not awful but not awesome. My wife was sick with the flu that is going around, and I had just enough of it to give me a headache and not want to risk working out too much. On this day I did fifty push-ups and staggered through an hour on the treadmill, while watching a fairly mediocre episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures. After the weakness of the previous episode, I hope this isn't a long-term trend.

Another day I slept in instead of working out at 6am, but I got it done later in the day. Today was a sit-ups day (82!), and theoretically tomorrow is the day I get back up to 100+ push-ups in a day. We'll see how that goes. In the meantime, today was Maria's last episode as a series regular on The Sarah Jane Adventures. I gather the actress decided she needed to focus on school instead of acting, so she was written gracefully out of the show while still leaving the door open (and she pops up in person at least one more time this season). As exits go, it was pretty well done...

Save your breath. You'll need it when the screaming starts.

Weird day today, workout-wise. I just couldn't drag myself out of bed early enough to get it done in the morning, so I put it off until after work. Even so, I manged over 90 push-ups today which is awesome. I expect I should be back up to 100 by next week sometime. I also wrapped up the first season of The Sarah Jane Adventures today, and it was freakin' awesome.

I know nobody is reading these besides me, and possibly sometimes my wife, but even so I have to say how much I appreciate you, my dear Imaginary Readers, for keeping me on track. I had another day of great forward progress today. This past year has been a bit of a wash, with a tiny bit of backsliding, but I really feel like I am back on the right track. I dunno, maybe it's just holiday cheer creeping in, but I am really enjoying my treadmill time these days. Of course, it helps that I am also thoroughly enjoying The Sarah Jane Adventures, especially after the dreary mediocrity of Torchwood: Miracle Day.
