As long as I own my red coat, I will be there year after year after year...

A new site for a new year. So fresh and so clean.

Oh, that's bad.

I'm a pretty visual person. (duh.) So when I hear "severe left lateral recess stenosis," my eyes glaze over. However, show me this and I get it.

Now, in case you're still lost, here's the MRI again with commentary.

I highly recommend

The Death Star on Thanksgiving and Photoshop Photo Merge.

So much for boot camp

So it turns out I have a herniated disk so severe that if I sneeze I could lose bladder function.

Not kidding.

Needless-to-say Boot Camp is out.

Dear SNL,

I just finished watching Saturday's episode.
EPIC FAIL.
Not even Jon Bovi could save this one.
Love, Carolyn

P.S. Black Eyed Peas three times? Really?

Bloodwork and Boot Camp

Frisco ISD has this great program where a teacher can fill out some paperwork, have blood drawn, and then a couple of weeks later get a fitness profile in the mail. It's offered every year and it's free.

I got my profile in the mail yesterday and everything looks great. Everything except for the fact that I don't exercise. Like, AT ALL. And that puts me into all these fun categories like being more at risk for cancer and back injury. I already have chronic back pain. So...

Welcome Boot Camp.

For the next 6 weeks, three times a week, I will be waking up at 4am to work out at 5am. That's right, FOUR AM. I have never woken up that early for anything, EVER. I mean, not even to pee.

So wish me luck. And from now on, if you call me after 8pm on a school night prepare to be defriended.
