Friday fun.

So. Today makes 14 days with absolutely NO soft drinks or caffeine of any kind. No diet coke, no sweet tea, no anything but chocolate milk or water. Which I'm hoping chocolate milk doesn't have caffeine in it. Oh well.

I finally have a surgery date. May 10th at 10am. I have to be there at 8am (really? We couldn't do this at like 2pm?) I'm kinda super nervous. I mean obviously no one is a fan of surgery but I've had my fair share of them in my short 23 years. Tonsils, gallbladder, spinal fusion and ankle x2 and now this. I'm not super nervous about the procedure but I haaaate the IV start bc it hurts and I have shitty veins. Though this really isn't optional so I guess the only choice I have is to suck it up. I know I won't be sleeping Thursday night so Friday morning I have plans to at least crank out some cardio beforehand. I can't eat or drink but I can chew gum and I looooove the extra rainbow ice cream flavored kind. Speaking of Thursday night, it's a last supper kind of situation because after anesthesia it's legit like 2 days before I even begin to want anything to eat, so I'm thinking I legit may eat some poptarts and a Mountain Dew. Suggestions for an epic dinner are welcome. Dr Hawes said I would be out for 14-18 days, but I'm thinking that's code for 3-5 because I'm young and bounce back quickly. Also I would rather not waste away in my bed doing nothing for 2 weeks. I may not be the next iron woman but I've worked really hard these last 10 months for what muscles I do have and I refuse to lose what progress I have made.

Wednesdays workout was basically shoulder city and by that I mean washing my hair was basically mission impossible. I just put the shampoo in my hand and move my head around. God forbid I move a muscle that hurts. Then Thursday I went to the Y to crank out some cardio and the treadmill I ALWAYS use was "out of order" which I'm sorry what? Get that shit fixed. I have walking to do! I did 45 minutes on the craziest treadmill ever. It only went up by 1/2 mile increments. Like there was no 3.3 speed. Go big or go home I guess. Anywho, today's workout included something we hadn't done in a looooonnnngg time and lets be clear, I was fine without them. Planks. Darin said I made them look easy which they may look that way but I felt weak. Also he twxt me today and asked if I liked grape or mixed berry and refused to tell me what exactly it was for. This "post workout" shot that looked like a 5 hour energy thing but holy mother of pearl. Nasty. It smelled SO FREAKIN BAD. Neither of us actually tasted it but I feel like Taz could throw up something that would taste better. I mean I think we all know I can be the most stubborn person on the planet (still don't have an inhaler) but there's a line. Though I will say I doubt anyone else would be so patient and helpful with my weird food choices and preferences. I really do complain a lot but I really do enjoy my workouts. I got a chocolate milk after my workout and I didn't realize how tired I was. The poor boy running the register almost punched me in the face. THREE TIMES I hit "no" on the card reader when it said "is this amount correct?" When I was purchasing said chocolate milk. He finally did it for me.

Anyways. That's what's happening in the world-o-Vanessa. Not a ton other than complaining and laughing. Per my usual. If I didn't laugh, I'd cry. I think I'm trying insanity on Sunday. So if there's no post on Monday, assume I'm dead. That's all for now!
