Few things to mention today that are on the forefront of my mind:
- Getting nervous about going back up north. To explain, I work for a mining company whose mine site is in the south west corner of the Northwest Territories. I use the term south loosely, it's damn cold up there! It's also beautiful. Anyway, I was here at head office in Vancouver for the last nine months, and will be going back up on August 25th. The rotation is 3 weeks in camp, then 3 weeks out of camp on days off. It's actually pretty sweet, but the nerves are kicking in about the fact that I won'tbe able to prepare my own food (though the cooks are really great about providing a lot of options), and I won't have a scale (can only bring in 25 pounds on the plane). So progress will have to be measured through tape measure only. I am bringing my laptop so I'll be able to do 30DS though, and I'll be continuing to count calories as best I can manage. Luckily, though sadly because he is awesome, my midnight chocolate devouring buddy isn't going to be returning, so that'll help matters on the calorie counting front!
- Last weekend, some acquaintances of mine were in a tour van heading to a show in San Francisco when the driver fell asleep and ran off the road. One person died. :( This morning, my boyfriend was driving home from work and also fell asleep and ran off the road. He was ok, the truck isn't. Please, everyone, be careful and please take a break if you feel like you're getting too tired to continue driving. I know it's hard when you're almost there or you dont have money for a hotel, but this week is a prime example of how important it is to be rested.
- I woke up this morning unable to move my neck and right shoulder area without a lot of pain. My neck was sore yesterday but I did a workout anyway, I hope I didn't overdo it and cause this. I have been taking muscle pain pills and applying A535 and it seems to be better than this morning. It could be a result of sleeping in a bad position. I hope that's what it is, I don't want an injury. I'm going to take it easy until I get a full range of motion back in my neck and shoulders.
- My goal for the end of August is 180. It's 6 pounds, or 2 pounds per week. I think this is doable, and would actually put me exactly where I was when I left the mine site last October. Pretty weird how that worked out.
