Another day, another dollar (WooT PAYDAY!!!), another Challenges Update…
HUNDRED PUSHUPS / TWO HUNDRED SITUPS / TWO HUNDRED SQUATS
Abort, Retry, FAIL!
I never got to Week 2, mainly because I never finished Week 1. Last week into early this week was a bonafide UGH, and once I started getting back on track it seemed really too late to try to get a full week in (and I’d rather do this by calender weeks to keep track of it easier).
No matter, I’m restarting next week, and I WILL FINISH.

PERFECT 10 CHALLENGE
And here is my Perfect 10 update for the week. Oy, coming down to the wire with this one…
Steve is also asking we post something that noone knows about us, so here goes: I didn’t get my drivers license until I was 20. At first I really wanted it ASAP, I even got my learners permit at 15. But eventually I just got used to walking or getting rides, and at that time if I wanted drivers ed classes I’d have to pay for them myself (300ish dollars, ugh). I finally took drivers ed at 18, but failed the driving test first time around, and got used to walking (or getting rides) again. Finally, my supervisor let me practice in his truck, and I tried again, two years later, and passed. I bought my first car a month later (2004 Scion xA), and wrecked it a month and day after that. WooT (that was a sarcastic one…)
HABIT.A.WEEK CHALLENGE
Lyn from Escape from Obesity is hosting a Habit.A.Week Challenge. The goal is easy enough, to make a small change each work in order to live a healthier lifestyle. The “habit” this week is to PORTION CONTROL!!!
As I said before, I started calorie counting this week, which is about as portion controlled as you can get I’m sticking with it so far, as well as sticking with my Blacklist, so I think I’ll wait until my next weigh in to see how well I’m doing with this goal…

IN OTHER NEWS…
I got my glasses! How do I look? The frames cost almost 300 dollars (Armani Exchange, STYLIN’) so hopefully I don’t look like a total doofus. I need another haircut though. Ugh.
AND, AND…
I’m trying my hand at Curling this weekend. The Potomac Curling Club is having an open house for people to come in and try things out, so my friend signed us up. We’ll see how well I do…
What are YOUR weekend plans? Hope you all have a good one!!
Cool specs, Steve!
Good luck with the curling! That sounds so fun!

Look how cute you are! I do like the new specs. And that’s your cube, huh? I think we should all pick a day and do a post where we do pictures. You know, stuff like where we sit, hanng out, work, write, whatev. Or maybe I’m the only one who thinks that would be cool, who knows. Either way, here’s to a new week, right?

I like the new specs! I need to go with my BF the next time he goes in for glasses- he keeps getting the lenses replaced in his current frames! That’s no fun! lol I also prefer him in contacts…but a stylin pair of glasses would be nice!
Curling!! wow…interesting- cant wait to hear how that goes!
Look @ dem stunna specs!!! You are gonna rock it next week. Fo sho!
Nice glasses 4-eyes! Oh wait, I wear glasses too, guess I can’t really poke fun…
Don’t sweat it with the pushups/situps/squats challenges – you had a bit of a hiccup there, but I know you’ll give back on that horse this week and start rockin’ it!
Curling would be interesting, I can’t wait to hear how it goes. I’m pretty sure there is actually a curling club here in Anchorage too…

Love the glasses. Oh and remind me to never ride with you
I had to “haha!” at your Abort, Retry, FAIL! Not that it’s funny, but your brutal honesty made me laught. Atta boy on NOT sugar coating it! Keep it real! We can all identify with that.
I didn’t get my license till I was 27 although I’d been driving since I was 16.

Loving the glasses! =] Can I get your number? lol!
Good luck with curling! I had never heard about it until the Olympics – looks interesting!! However, I don’t know I could associate a broom with fun! :/ Let us know how it goes, por favor!
I didn’t get my driver’s license until I was 23, so I win! (Or lose, as may be the case in this situation).
I actually still have one more road test to take, which I’m on the hook for near the end of March…..yes, I hope the instructor takes pity on someone as old as me having to take their driving test.
Dude, I love the new glasses! Sylin’!
I can relate to your driving experience. I didn’t get my license till I was almost 19, but didn’t really get to drive much till I was 21 because I didn’t have my own ride. I became VERY familiar with the county bus line…LOL
