Day 23

Workout- Kenpo X
Bible Reading- 2 Samuel 12:13 - 22:51

Basic math escapes. It's rather sad really. Very basic monetary transactions throughout my work day are routinely done on my calculator. It's just the way that I am. I've come to accept it. However, there is one exception to this general rule. I am a mathematical wizard when it comes to calculating exactly how many times I can hit the snooze button on my alarm clock and still get up in time to not be late in the morning. Early this morning I was woken from a dead sleep with the alarm going off. Drearily I slam down on the top of it to stop it. Without a moments hesitation I cracked one eye open to glance at the clock to see what time it was. 5:45 AM. Knowing that my snooze lasts for exactly 9 minutes, I know that I can snooze twice and wake up at 6:03. This would give me enough time to pull myself out of bed and still get a work out in. And this is how my morning began. Today was a little unusual, as I was meeting a friend to work out with, so I actually had to get out of bed this morning. On other days my ability to multiply by 9 can be mind boggling.

But alas, today I did get out of bed within an acceptable number of snoozes. My routine was a little different today as I met John Wentz at Southwest Campus to work out with me this morning. It's really helpful to workout with a friend. You have someone to push you and motivate you. I had a really good time. After I showered and got ready for work, I noticed that my size 36 jeans were a little loose on me today! It's the first glimmer of actual progress! Hopefully this is a good sign of things to come.
