I'm not the only one with questions, of course. Once, after Medical Students for Choice co-hosted a panel discussion on reducing the number of abortions by providing better education on reproductive health, some of my classmates approached close friends of mine. They were puzzled that a pro-choice group was talking about wanting to reduce abortions -- and that it viewed ending unwanted pregnancies as a tragedy. Mostly, though, they were confused about what I was doing there. "I know Roz goes to church every Sunday and that she's a good person," one classmate asked. "Why would she be involved in a group like this?"(Emphasis mine.) Someone who actually put thought into it rather than having the typical gut reaction.
I know my answer to that question. Someday I hope my classmates will understand, too.
Ugh.
I screwed up and fed Buzz Friday morning before his appointment. Again. Oops. Took him Saturday morning instead. His blood sugar was off the chart again, and the dosage upped to 7 units. We did discuss how a bottle of insulin could be compromised if dropped or shaken too much. There was an incident where I dropped it onto the bathroom counter, but otherwise I'm very careful. I'm wondering if we may have to drop back when I get a new bottle. I've got a little over half of this one left. Of course, if we switch insulin type/brand, who knows?
Worked out with Stacey Friday afternoon, but no walking later. She didn't mention it, and neither did I. I was still in my workout clothes due to errands and chores again, but she didn't text me.
Went to both classes Saturday morning, after having not been in...almost a month? Tough. I was still sore from ground work on Thursday (shoulders, chest, arms), and my legs were sore from Friday afternoon's workout. I think I did ok as far as cardiovascular, but I was so sore that I could barely manage the required energy to hit as hard as we are supposed to.
They've added another class on Wednesday nights, and I might try to go. I'll have to alter the dinner schedule again, but it's worth a shot. I often end up not doing anything on Wednesday nights due to chores or whatever, and Sandra has yet to call me about walking trails, as we've discussed. We'll see how it goes.
So my schedule is Monday - Krav; Tuesday - treadmill (walk w/ jogging or incline intervals), sometimes some weights; Wednesday - ???; Thursday - Krav; Friday - weights with Stacey (whatever we feel like doing), possibly walking; Saturday - Krav + HIT class.
Wait, now I may meet Stacey at the new gym on Wednesday. Hmm. She announced her weight last night, which is 15 more than she was when she fought. She wanted to get down another 10 to a lower weight class, but now that number is 25! I had no idea. I've stayed about the same weight since then, and I figured she had, too. We weighed close to the same amount, except I'm about 2 inches taller. (Someone asked us again Monday night if we're sisters. Ha. I'll take her over my actual sister any day.) Anyway. I'm terrible at telling weights and sizes of people. Maybe that's a good thing. Perhaps I should apply that to myself.
So I had a sweet potato sort of explode in the oven on Wednesday. I knew I couldn't cook in there again until it was cleaned, so I wiped up what I could, and used the self-cleaning function on Sunday. Damn. It must be a hot temperature, because it turns anything left in there to ash, and made it about 85 degrees in the kitchen for four hours and 20 minutes. Probably not a good idea to do it during the day, I guess.
I sent the $159 money order for my ticket yesterday. I could have paid online and had confirmation, but I didn't want to pay them another $6+. Could have been worse.
Went to class Monday night, didn't do as badly as Saturday. Luckily two new females are in class now, after testing. This gives me more options when Kay and Stacey aren't there (as they tend to be).
I did three miles on the treadmill last night! It's been a while since I've went that distance, mostly due to short attention span. True, I watch DVR recordings while I'm on there, but it gets boring just the same. I did jogging intervals, pushing myself harder than I have in a while. Got to be careful of those shin splints.
I am either going to the new Krav class tonight, or meeting Stacey at the new gym this afternoon. Hopefully no jogging or leg work.
I'm hanging out with Leigh again this Friday for Christy Day. That's right. I have to take Buzz to the vet in the morning, then head out to her place. We're going to Cafe Sunflower, where cake will be consumed, I'm sure. I think we'll hit P&D to look at sparkly things, then back to her place to change, then we're hitting the Kennes@w Mt. trails. Woo! Of course, now I'm sure there will be a downpour.
