Aside from an excellent album by New York band They Might be Giants, the title of this post is also an effective rubric to give an assorted update:
- Teeth: Despite very good adherence to my oral hygiene plan, I have intermittent, excruciating pain in one of my teeth (though it might be two–it’s tough to tell). I don’t know what this means, but I’m hoping I can get an appointment with my dentist soon. In the interests of full disclosure, I was pretty sure I had a cavity in this tooth before I started my plan, but had hoped that I could solve it without a filling. I don’t think that’s going to work
- Time: I don’t have enough of it right now. I’m falling behind on assignment marking, and it would’ve been easy to skip my run and workout this morning. In fact, at at least three points during my 5K run, I had to mentally wrestle with myself not to jump off and get to work. I need to avoid making stress an excuse!
- The Hot 100: speaking of which, below is how I did today on my Hot 100 goals. As you can see, I’m still on track despite missing a few sessions last week and obviously missing Monday’s session due to Thanksgiving/Columbus Day.
- Chin-ups: 8/7 at -35 lbs
- Dips: 8/8 at -35 lbs
- Bench presses: 8/8 at 160 lbs (88% of body weight)
- 5K Run: 7.4 mph
Hopefully I’ll have a positive update on Friday or Saturday in all these categories (especially the tooth thing–it’s incredibly painful!)

Fitfan, I know what you are talking about. My work is intense right now, and there is no sign of letting up until about a month from now. This past week it really began to wear on me more. Of course, at those times we sometimes have to pick what we are going to do and what we are going to cull. You did right though sticking to the program. You won’t regret it.
Great work on the goals, btw!
I hope your tooth gets better. Perhaps it won’t be a cavity.
