Tonight I found out I am not as out of shape as I once was. I ran two block laps during Kickboxing class and ran each lap the entire way without stopping to catch my breath or slowing down. Also did 10 sets of stairs during that class then 8 during Krav Maga class as punishment for forgetting my KM t-shirt. And I'm not entirely sore either. Yay!

Barry is not short on punishments today.

Thanks Enishi! I love kettle bells. Our instructor makes us use them a lot in our cross-training and kickboxing classes. I have two at home, a 15lb/20lb. Just get a 20lb.

Lifted weights today at the gym. The diet is going well. I've lost 7lbs so far. I'm happy with that. I am going to KB/Krav tonight. Might do a weapons class but we did some gun defenses in class last night. I don't know what it is but I get nervous doing the techniques and end up fucking it up. It's slightly frustrating.

Yes, well it's one thing to be dancing and accidently bump into someone but slamming into someone intentionally is another and if that shit keeps happening to me everytime I am there, my foot or knee will hit someone in the groin before they can blink.

I don't know what it is with some of the dudes at City. Some dude said "hi" to me, I said hello back then continued to walk. He approached me twice later on. I was not at all interested in talking to him. Kinda tired and not in the mood to deal with most people. Then the morons on the dance floor of which Raev spoke. One wearing white baggy pants slammed into me and laughed and I had to tell the fucker not to do it again. I swear some people are intent upon ruining other peoples' good time.

Happy Birthday!!!!!

I'm in favor of police/firefighter unions. Compared to my job, their job is by far the hardest. Plus, the cops need their union in case some dumbfuck brings up a non-legit IA complaint against them. I bring this up because I didn't realize how bad a IA investigation on a cop was even if the case is proven unfounded.

That's how I feel about most unions right now, specifically the auto unions. Sometimes I feel like they never want to compromise. They want something without having to give up or compromise on something else. And yes, they are political bombs.That's just how I feel.

I don't think unions are bad as long as they are used for their intended purpose: to improve work conditions and to make sure employees are being compensated appropriately and fairly. I do not work at a hospital where the nurses are unionized. I can't say that I regret that because although I work in the inner-city, the conditions are quite good and patient-nurse ratios in the ICU are what they should be (2 patients-1 nurse). I have not received a raise since I started working at that particular hospital (3 years ago), but I cannot say that I am mad about that. I still have a job. My co-workers still have a job. We still have benefits and a pension. I cannot complain. Luckily, where I work they do listen to their employees, the last hospital I worked at not so much. And the last hospital I worked at ended up laying off nurses about a year after I started at the new employer.

Obviously.

Harassed SK most of the time. Danced a lot. Saw quite a few DGN people. The night was okay.

I doubt any woman here is going to share that experience with you. It's not a pleasurable experience.

Okay, where is everyone? Since the start of my diet, I've lost about 4.5 lbs. I ran another 5k on Saturday morning in Dearborn called the Martian Marathon and then I went to City. Might go to the gym today and lift weights then it's my usual Krav Maga and ground-fighting schedule the rest of the week.

I haz headache.

She died of a drug overdose.

I've never been there but I guess they don't play our kind of music because some people from work have been hanging out there and I know they don't listen to anything I listen to. I still want to go to Necto, at least just once. I just haven't had the time.

People are getting jumped at City? Uh, oh. Well, I'll be a little more alert then when I show up.

Totally fucking agree.

Day 3 of diet is going well. Haven't worked out since Wednesday night's ground-fighting class. My back and shoulders and pretty much my entire body hurt from Wednesday night's class. The school got an 18ft UFC-like cage so we practiced inside of it. We did a lot of throws and take-downs plus we grappled. Let me say that having fence digging into one's back is not the best feeling in the world. I haz bruises everywhere.

This morning I went to the gym. I started the Couch 2 5k running program (30 minutes) then lifted weights. I'm going to Krav maga class tonight as well.

Congrats and best wishes.
