All Jacked Up

While normally I would feel bad about not completely preparing a week in advance for a class the last week or so I have had problems focusing on my school work. I leave to go to the national wrestling tournament on the 22nd of April and it cannot get here soon enough. I am working out most of the day, and not eating the rest of the day. I am still teaching but this week (pretty much my last before the tournament) is WASL week so the kids are unfocused anyway which helps me to lose some of my motivation... well motivation in preparing lessons, not motivation in working out. That is one area where I have never had a problem finding motivation. My personal trainer (wonderful woman) is trying to kill me and I love her for it. After I see her I go to wrestle with Danny. So that I really can get some work in. Pretty much all I can say is that I am really excited. Although my truck is a mess, which I don't like. I am also looking forward to the barbecue at my house after the tournament. Most of the friends and family are going to be coming out, it will be good to see everyone. And the food, oh the food. I know exactly where my first meal after my tournament is going to be; in the New York New York Casino in Vegas. There is a steak house in there where they have the steaks hanging outside in refrigerators, they all looked thick and juicy, so very happy. Especially with an apple, 3 power bars, a Cliff bar, and some trail mix being the only sustenance that I get today. Good times. It is all worth it though. I have cut off 15 pounds of my normal body weight, and I have been fluctuating between 155 and 145 (my weight is 145.5 pounds) on tournament weeks. I get now how to drop 10 pounds in a week. I didn't realize it in college though. While not everyone could do it, I can.

Dated a vegetarian for a few months. It didn't work out. "You are not environmental enough for me. You are a great guy but I need to know that you would change (environmentally that is) because YOU want to change not because I want you to change." Oh well, it was not that great of a relationship anyway, she was nice, as was her daughter, but we were a little different if you couldn't tell.

Started seeing another girl last week and again "so far" it is going alright. She seems to be fairly funny and laid back, just not athletic. Can't have everything though. Oh well, time will tell with this one.

I just have to remember Micky's words, "Women weaken legs," adding on my own little bit, "and ruin wrestling seasons." Well remember them for the next two weeks, after that I am on my own.
