I'm at war with the full justify trend - fight the ignorance! Left!

Yesterday's workout was good but weird. I drove the hell out of myself, but everywhere I turned I saw flaws. Strength is my goal for the weights I did yesterday, but every time I checked form in the mirror I saw my flub. I wore out after only about an hour or an hour point 5, but kept going. Now on non-workout days I'll be running a couple or a few miles just to keep cardio going. I also have found that my back, which has a curve ugh, is bending backwards on my ball abs workout - so I'm trying to redesign my abs workout and really watch to make sure I'm working the front and not the back.

So no, I don't just look this way because of genetics. It really does take work, discipline, planning, and sacrifice. I would love to eat curry and ice-cream and play video games all day, but if I did I wouldn't look like this or have the abilities I do.

I wonder if not studying all the time has a caloric impact - was I getting a strange brain-eating-calorie workout when I studied and went to class? Or is my theory that eating at the India Curry House can be balanced out by skipping dinner a crock?

VJ was/is always saying core training is key. It seems that is getting a far wider audience - lots of very fit people are doing weird exercises shaking skis, balancing on balls, doing push-ups on chains, throwing cowbells around, and otherwise doing stamina and core training. I get a good amount of that from the boxing workout, but I have my eye on that area.

EDIT - job stuff: just got a call from my old boss, who is now in homeland security and loving, loving, loving life. They have flexitime, an hour for lunch, don't yell, don't constantly demand immediate responses on piddly personal projects, and in short - treat her like an adult. I have heard a very similar report from a coworker who went there. I may not be a fan of the homeland security group, but working there might be a dream. Yes, i'm keeping my eyes open and maintaining those connections (which is easy to do - I like both of them).

This just in from the headlines - nothing. Nothing happened. Someday W won't be the president, and it won't matter. Many congresspeople, governors, state legislators, local delegates, judges, and lobbyists will remain the same. The voting population will continue to bite at chum.

A figurehead is just a symptom of a larger problem. Remove it, and another will take it's place.

EDIT - holy shit! I was just at lunch talking about our degrading mgt official, and the word just came out that the new secretary is leaving. This is a new record - 5 weeks! She has had black, white, young, old, educated, not, experienced, not...all walks of life, and she has driven them all off. Now, I don't expect her managers to actually do anything...even though her boss can't get her own secretary to interact with her anymore (and she's the sweetest person ever). It's sad that this asswipe is being allowed to continue a pattern and practice of abuse which is costing the Agency a fortune in turnover, but funny that this is a new record for driving off a secretary. Her "handlers" are that much more guilty for being aware of, yet feeling to deal with, the situation.
