June 5 2011, Day 1

This morning I got up at about 3:00 AM. I had gone to bed around 9:00 last night, so I didn't feel like I got enough sleep. But, my eyes were wide open. So, I went ahead a started my day. It took me a while to wake up, but by 5:00 I was off to the gym to begin my new workout plan. Note: it's always a good idea to hire a trainer…if you can. I can't. I've posted my work out on bodybuilding.com. Feel free to take a look. Like I was saying, I was doing well until my very last set which were deadlifts. That's when I felt this dull pain in my groin muscle. I knew immediately I had pulled it. I think it's called a "grade II strain" or something like that. That put an end to the rest of my workout which is walking 2.5 miles. I was to begin doing that twice a day. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

I've also spent a lot of time reading about motorcycles today--learning about all of the different parts and all. For myself, I find that looking at the websites of particular makes and models is a great place to begin. For some reason though, I tend to learn best about things when I think about the tweaking of the product. What would it cost to totally trick it out. I can spend hours doing things like that. I read about Kawasaki mostly. There really isn't that much you can do to those. They just changed the model, so it'll be several more months before the aftermarket companies really start coming out with parts. I mean you can drop a ton of cash, but I'd still like to have more options. When I look up each part I'm "dreaming" about, it helps me to learn what the part is, and why it's better than stock. Also, it helps a lot to read the online review…does everyone like it or hate it?

Oh yeah, I also had to go to the blood place to give a sample. I'm getting my Hepatitis immunizations and they need to make sure I don't actually have it or have had it, something like that. That's always a fun thing to do. I guess the feeling is sort of like when you go get tested for aids and STD's. There is this sort of feeling in the back of your head saying "what are you going to do if you have it? You know, you could have it. You've done a lot of stupid shit." So I'm also dealing with that but it's nowhere nearly as bad as an aids test. That one really made me worry. You start thinking "that bitch gave me aids!!! I'm gonna kill her!!!" and the emotions are everywhere until you get the call. When they said I was negative for HIV, I made them repeat it so I could be clear. Thank God!!! Actually, I didn't have anything. That was sort of amazing I though. Oh well. So now I'm dealing with the what if's of Hepatitis. I'm sure if I had it, it would have shown up in my STD tests. My mind just likes to fuck with me, that's all. Wish me luck.
