Spike
Besides the chipmonk cheeks, I wanted to try to take a picture of my spikey hair. It's kind of cool to have spikey hair. Makes you feel a little badass.
I'm sore as a mofo today. I met with PTM yesterday. I didn't feel 47 yesterday as I was tested; I felt more like 147. We did some really simple stuff, but it kicked my butt. Some arm stuff, some leg stuff and a little cardio.
But it felt awesome. I felt so good. I got out to my car and cried because this was the first real workout (with sweat) since before I was diagnosed. Even though I'm all wimpy, I felt like a stud. I felt silly because I just was like proud that I did it.
Ok. Lots to do today. Just wanted to check in.
I can do this. I'm going back to the gym today to kick one out!
Your assignment today is eat healthy today. I have been watching what I eat lately. And I feel really pretty good. So have a salad. Eat your greens. Fruits are your friends. Remember the days when I couldn't eat any of that? I do. So today is going to be eating clean day.
I miss Elvis. He was here for like a split second (a day and a half). He's lovely. I can't wait for him to come back here. It's going to be like six more weeks. Bleh. But you have to do what you have to do.

It will be long and flowing and Rapunzel-like soon. But until then, keep rocking your badass self.

As for being sore. I can so relate to that. when I signed up for TNT a couple of years ago (because they say, people of any fitness level - blah blah) I was totally out of shape. I thought the team slogan was going to be "circle back guys, let's wait for Kris" Seriously. I was McCrippled the day after my first workout but I felt that studliness you speak of just for doing it. And I did go on to finish my event (which was not great feat of athleticism--believe me). I know you've been waiting to get your lines out and get strong enough to work out again. Soon you'll feeling 27!
Always thinking of and praying for you!
Kris

because you always kick ass.
Wishing you the best of the best this Christmas.
And everyone you love the same.
hey there~ I just found your blog. My hair looked like that in january of 2005! I had APL leukemia in august 2004, and it has been gone since i was released from the hospital in september 04.
The ATRA made me gain some weight too which i am now letting go of.
good vibes and health to you!
