oh yeah, there was a meteor shower last night. my brother messages me at 2am and tells me there's a meteor shower going on right now. if i had known before hand, i would have planned something. maybe put on the rollerblades and skate around doyle. its been so long that i probably am very shakey on them, but i do have a lot more core balance so maybe i'll finally be able to learn how to stop for a change without using the brakes. anyway, i walked out of the apartment, stared at the sky for about 2 minutes, saw nothing and went back. and then it was geting noisy outside. so i decided to go outside again, and this time my roommate was out there. i saw 2, and i decided to call it a night because i was getting cold and i had seen some kickass shooting stars a few years back when there was another meteor shower going on. this one meteor was so bright, it lit up the grass on the park that i was lying in.



had my wellness re-evaluation today. i made small improvements across the board with a few exceptions.

i did 33 pushups (28 originally)

measured 10.5% body fat with the calipers (11% originally)

blood pressure down (only diastolic though, systolic still kinda high)

stretch test i got 21 inches (20 originally)



sit up test scored 60, the same as last time. i really think i did more than that. i started off doing at least 1.5 every second, and finished doing about 1 every second. i think i deserve a recount. if i really had done 60, i could have done a lot more....probably around 75.



one thing that i did worse on is the step test. from a 106, i got a 118 instead. but 106 that i got before was because i had changed the dominant feet during the middle of my original test. and also, i was taking ephedra at the time of the original test, so that could have really messed with my heart bpm.



when i'm fully rested i should be able to do a few more pushups in a minute. i had done a very heavy chest workout the day before and it probably hurt my push up score. i was pretty dead after the 33rd push up.



oh yeah, the thing with body fat. my body fat scale reads low 15%. but the calipers measure mid 10%. if i set my scale to athlete mode i measure low 7%. i really don't know which one is accurate. jonna, wellness trainer, says the body fat calipers are the best, and the scales meausers always high. maybe i should consider myself partial athlete. so i'll account 60% of the athelete's readings, and the 40% of the adult's readings, and add up the two to get a number that is more on the same level as the calipers. if this is true, i really don't need to lose any more body fat before bulking up. what to do, what to do....
