Changing my weight lifting program

My roommate recently learned in his class to switch up reps. Instead of doing 10 reps of as heavy as you can, try a little less weight and do it around 20 times. He said to do it for a month to shock the muscles. After a month goes by, I can go back to my regular workout. I'm pretty excited about this. I'm going to give it a try and see if I can get better results.

Almost the weekend!

Pretty excited for the weekend. I have a little bit of homework but i'm going with my friend to sign up for a warrior dash. I have never heard of this until my friend showed me on Youtube. It seems unreal. Its a 3 mile run with all of these different obstacles you have to get through. I'm pretty excited for it!

I'm looking forward to going back home for the summer. I have a season pass to Sand Castle where i'll probably be at every Sunday. When I'm not working i'll more than likely be playing softball. We play everywhere on the east side of Pittsburgh. We probably play Mckeesport, Clariton, Irwin, Greensburg, Monroevile and Murrysville. This summer is going to be awesome.

Today was another good day! After my two classes, I headed over to Grove City to work with the kids at the YMCA. We got to play 4 five on five basketball games. The kids were running non stop. After, we played a mini football for about 30 minutes. Again the kids were running! I was thrilled to see that the mentality up here is good towards physical activity.

Getting back into the swing of things...

The past few weeks I have been slacking at the gym. I'm kind of upset with myself yet I've had so much work that I haven't found time to get there. I'm debating on waiting until I get out of school and then looking for a summer gym back home in Pittsburgh. I'm looking for something for only 3 months. Hopefully I can find a gym under a 100 dollars total. Also, I hope that I can find a gym close to my work in Jefferson Hills.

Today, I thought I was going to be completely stressed out with all the work that I  have to do this week. Luckily, our 352 projects were pushed back which gives me more time to concentrate on my Health project. I just finished with Tech Pete and now I am about to go to gymnastics. I'm worried because I was sick last Thursday that I wont have enough time to make up all my skill testing. Hopefully I can get them all done quickly and correct. Welp, see you guys in a little!

Artificial Sweeteners (ex Crystal Lite)

So I have heard conflicting reports from school, friends, and family. I have been drinking artificial sweeteners for a while now. Oddly enough, I do not like the taste of regular water. I love to have some kind of taste. I have learned recently in my health class that there are chances that it can cause permanent brain damage. At home and with my friends they seem like they don't have a problem with it. I'm not sure if I should continue drinking it or not. Maybe not as often.

Net/Wall

Today, was the last day before skill testing in Net/Wall. It was really fun and exciting until we had time to practice our serve. Although, other areas of tennis I am good at, the serve seems to be my weakest area. Every time I serve I cannot get it anywhere close to the box. It I've tried all different sorts of wind ups and follows through, but I seem to not be able to do accomplish a correct serve. Ugh, hopefully I will get it down by Wednesday!
