So improvement in all areas for me. Huge improvements for Damm-yay! But I have a confession to make. Yesterday was Mother's Day. And remember how last Wednesday I wrote "goodbye, lovely Bacon Cheeseburger"? It just didn't seem like Mother's Day without celebrating, and the chicken salad that was the only healthy thing on that dangblasted menu did not look appetizing. So I had gorditas. And the bro-in-law decided we should all forgo dessert at the restaurant, pick up icecream and a movie, and retreat to the mother-in-law's house. I don't have enough willpower to resist Ben & Jerry's when everyone else also wants icecream. Well, on holidays and special occasions I can't resist.

And all that's ok. Holidays and birthdays have never been under the same rules as my weekly indulgence meals. What actually has me feeling bad is that I knew I had a Fit Test the next day. Way back when I played competitive soccer I never would've consumed gorditas the night before a soccer match. And I've been treating INSANITY like sports training. So it was upsetting when me, myself, and I blithely threw all that to the wind. But unlike years past I immediately took my own advice and put last night into a lifetime perspective. Ok, maybe not immediately. I had a few visions of whales. But I'm getting faster at stopping self-recrimination. And hopefully better at learning from gordita mistakes. Doing Switchkicks is not fun with gorditas on the tum-tum (hehe that rhymed).

So once again, congrats to both our selves for improving over the last fit test. Measurements to come this Friday. I didn't want to take them today because Mexican food=salt=bloating and I want an accurate idea of progress.

Wulfa the Workout Maven out.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

So I won't forget ..

"I'm a little hunter short and cute. Here is my bow, Here is my boot. When I get all worked up then I shoot!" And I can't come up with the last line. Needs to rhyme with the little teacup song.

A tanking guide.

Here is the situation: Your guild has been busy all day long while your at work. You finally get home and log in and are informed that the GM(and main tank) is about to leave and you are now assigned tanking duty. You start to panic. You don't know what to do. And agro is already spiralling out of control. Ever been in that situation? I have. So I decided I would write a guide for this very situation. Step 1) Are the appropraite debuffs up? Step 2) Do you have the tools? Step 3) Are you practicing the fundamentals? Step 4) Are you prepared for the long haul? And Step 5) How to finish with a resounding silence. Are the appropriate debuffs up? You absolutely MUST have these debuffs up to start and you need to keep them up. There are only two of them and here they are in the order of priority: a) Clean Diaper. If Orclette's Diaper isn't clean you won't be able to contain the agro. I don't care how good your other fundamentals are. This is a MUST HAVE and should be chec...

Two, and three.
