This week has been very productive and efficient, and I'm only two days in!
Yesterday I took care of most of the stuff I wanted to accomplish this week (dentist, flight surgeon, and college appointments, called transportation office about shipping my personal items, called recruiter about previous officer's package, memorized the rest of the tunes for tomorrow). All that in two hours. So I took the rest of the day off and went to the north shore to body board. It was nice. First time to the beach and in the waves since I sprained the ol' ankle. It performed well. However, I did jam my 4th toe on the left foot. Wave threw me at a rock. Hurts. It'll be okay.
Today, I called the apartment dude to confirm, and I have a place to live!
Had a great day of rehearsals for the concert tomorrow: looking forward to it. Tofa will be there, so that's cool. Easy to impress when you're on stage in a uniform. ;-)
Another girl was walking in front of me as we entered base this evening. She turned to spit, and then felt embarrassed and apologized. I thought it was awesome and said I was just about to cheer for her. She had a cute laugh.
To PT:
At lunch today, I went outside to do a pyramid. It ended up just being a simple inclined plane. Only made it up the one side and was too tired to go down. Pushups were good, situps were good, dips were okay (hard, but okay), but pullups were unreal! I did okay at 1, and 2, and 3. 4 started to feel weak, 5 was decent, 6 felt super weak. By 7, I was almost failing. At 8, I could only complete 7. My arms wouldn't work. So came back and did 2,4,4 for 9. Then for 10, I did like 3, then 3, then 2, then 1, then 1. I suck. It's been awhile. I think I've only done two pull up workouts since I got here. This was 3.
The dips were fun...did the running leg thing like Hannibal.
All in all, it was a productive workout because I felt a huge burn, I failed many times on the pullups, and I pushed through to attain my goal of at least half a pyramid.
Pullups: 55 ish
Pushups: 110
Situps: 165
Dips: 110

Yes, excellent PT.
Great work on the pull-ups. Way to not be discouraged by muscle failure and finish the set.
Who is this Tofa character? How did you meet? What's the down low?
Why are you up?
Tofa is a waitress I met at one of my favorite restaurants here. She's from Samoa, moved to HI when she was 10. Her 21st was on Sunday.
We were talking at the dinner, about b-days and such, and when asked what she was doing, she said she wanted to sky dive. Asked if I wanted to go. "Heck Yes!" I say. So we exchanged numbers.
She called on Sunday to talk. She's cool...her friends took her out for the bday, but she refused to drink. Like I did! Awesome!
She dreams of being a pilot, her friends and family wants her to be a lawyer, but she's thinking about studying therapy. I couldn't believe the similarities!
Nice PT man. Good job on the pullups...you did great on them for only the 3rd time doing them since you got there. I mean, 55 isn't anything to be ashamed of. How many people do you know (non-navy or non-body builder) can do 55 pullups in one workout? I remember my max used to be like 6 pullups. I could probably only do 13 at that time. 13 in one hour. So, you are not in as bad as shape as you think. Don't worry, you'll get it back.
I like how you did the running leg thing like Hannibal. Man, that guy is ripped!
I hope Tofa likes the concert. You should do something romantic afterwards, like go burn something down. Chop a tree down and then burn something using the wood as fuel.
