Day 62
Since my latest health dilemma, I've done something crazy to my neck/beck. I've waken up plenty times with a crooked neck but this time the pain has stuck around for about a week now. I've been stretching and massaging and frankly nothing seems to be helping but driving (with my left arm) definitely made it worse. For this reason I've been reluctant to lift weights and I certainly do not need too much cardio. I'm not even certain stretching is a good idea but I am doing so with great care and minimal effort. I've noticed almost every day this new year I've been banged up. This is totally my year and so i guess the universe is getting it all out of the way early :-)

I've found a self-defense place in DC giving away a weeks work of classes...for FREE. Check out GT TV's calendar for details. I really wish I could get some in-home training. Not that I am embarrassed by my recent health issues, but since then I've noticed a huge difference in my ability and attitude towards working out. I mean yes I was bed-ridden for 5 days and in that time I left my apt once to go to urgent care and so my muscles were pissed at me at day 4. By the time I was able to walk around and stretch, omg you should've heard it. Yes. You should've heard my tissue ripping in my legs as I stretched. I could not understand this because I made sure to drink plenty of fluids but when you're in the fetal position for days what do you expect? I'm feeling much better and ready to get back into it but I think I need some professional attention especially since this sharp neck pain is killing me.

I must admit my diet has been off, off, off. My roommate came back and in doing so we began to compete for food. You see I have a special roommate. She eats EVERYTHING. She wants to try what's on your plate (even if it is a very small amount) and then eat what's on her plate. If I don't eat when she eats then when I come back the chances of it being there is very slim. I cannot blame her. I eat no more than 3 meals a day. Normally 2 and a snack. However, she on the other hand doubles that because she participates in activities that increase her want for food...yeah...

...as I turn my head to notice the sunrise omg it hurts...

I'm not even going to lie but I never really understood why we circumcise our men. Everyone I knew thought it was disgusting for a man not to be cut but I (the woman who swears she's having a natural, home birth) still thought it was unnatural to cut the "excess" skin. I mean sure, I understand the act under religious purposes but what if your religion does not require it? "What is wrong with our society", I thought to myself . It wasn't until I was an older woman, I met a man who was clearly uncircumcised . The embarrassing part? It took me months to realize something was different about his penis. I just couldn't put my finger on it. Maybe it has something to do with his size. Then one day, after some great sex, I said:

"Babe. Random question. You're not circumcised?"
He laughed hysterically!
"I knew it! I knew it!...I just didn't know it!"
He continued to laugh...hysterically.
"Okay babe. Stop laughing."
...he continued...to laugh...hysterically...

Then I really didn't get it. This man was a very clean man. When I say clean I mean clean! His hygiene was superb and his knack for tidiness was also a 10. If it's all about hygiene then shucks men wash your d*&$ extra good. Pull the skin back and handle business. Big deal. Is it just that yall don't feel like it? And plus, it was soo cute. I'm not even going to try and lie (but revealing too much is my middle name). It was soo cute...like he was trying to hide from me....awwws...

Anyhow, I would never, never, ever do this to my son. I think I will love him with his "extra" skin...and Mommy and Daddy will show you how to properly wash yourself.

Any other confused women out there? Does it have something to do with STD's? Religion? Hygiene? Aesthetics?
