beauty=pain, solving for K

[thoreau]

This morning - it was "move up a level" in my realjock.com workouts. I printed out the new excercises and read through the materials, watched the video demos for form and was all set, and honestly, excited to move to the "next" thing.

NOWHERE in the materials does it say "after doing this the first day your entire body will hurt like it never has before." meh. I started aching as fast as the morning shower. Now - at work - particularly my arms and lower legs - are on FIRE.

I took some ibuprofen. and am thanking god that tomorrow is Katey Dog Adventure Wednesday^tm and Jeff's (beg1n) natal anniversary. I have visions of some gay workout writer writing and thinking to himself - "wait till these queens try the medicine ball sit-ups..muahahahahahahaha..."

When I leave for the gym every morning - I turn to Miss Kate and say "I'll be back in a bit sweetheart - Mommy is off to the gym to get beautiful." Today - beauty=pain. So - when I get on to day 2 of the new workout on Thursday - I'll be gentler on myself.

Since I've been dating a mathematician - I've been (shudder) trying to be mathematical and engage him story problems. Robert drinks five gatorades before.... His answer to most of my theoreticals is "quantify that." I was considering myself all smart when I suggested that in a relationship - we could "solve for K" (kissability) - with a variety of formulas. but first, apparently - we have to quantify "what is kissability?" I thought we could research the math behind why he and I sleep so well together (e.g. velcro) and the answer is "what is sleep?" Apparently - people who study math need absolutes and clear definitions of things - in order to engage in mathematical research. So clearly there will be no scientific math surrounding our relationship together. LOL! It is clearly UNQUANTIFIABLE! (and I'm certifiable - but that's entirely different equation)

That's why I prefer to romance a man who is ambi-hemispheric like me, all else being equal.

Of course, all things are almost never equal. Tell your beau to solve that ;)

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

define 'ambi-hemispheric'

[hereticsoul.livejournal.com]

lol...just me being wordy and tossing out something off the top of my head that substitutes for the phrase "left brain/right brain". Like ambidexterous but with the hemispheres of the brain :)

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

aactually - all my WORST dating experiences have been with other creative people (at least simliarly creative to me) - but that could just mean I'm a controlling bitch and have nothing to do with my creativity...

[gorkabear.livejournal.com]

I have 3 "creative" ex-bf's and I can assess that...

[squalidbear.livejournal.com]

You have to define your solution space in multiple dimensions, then you can easily have 'vague' answers :)

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

wha?

I felt so smart till we went and involved math.

(sobs)

[squalidbear.livejournal.com]

You could tell him that your love is like a particle in an infinitely deep potential well...

LOL

What a sweet and fun post! Thanks again for sharing your life with us.

I've lost gotten rid of eight pounds now! I wonder if there is a gym I could aford to go to around here. Golds is close, but very pricey... Hmmmmm....

You inspire me! You were the final thing to get me to start my healthy diet again!

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

Golds doesn't have to be. I'm on a $20/mth plan and I think they are running $1 to join, $30/mth right now.

try out a microbiologist some time....hehehehe!!

Postponed Due to World Peace

[bootedintexas.livejournal.com]

the normal bitchy twin comment has been postponed due to current policies of world peace. i.e. " Mommy is off to the gym to get beautiful."

[shirtlifterbear.livejournal.com]

I really must say that your Bloom County Icon made me squee!

Sadder still is that I think I know EXACTLY which strip it's from:

"What's a Liberal to do?"

Re: Postponed Due to World Peace

[bootedintexas.livejournal.com]

that would be correct SIR!

Re: Postponed Due to World Peace

[shirtlifterbear.livejournal.com]

I'm giggling with glee! Oh, dear, getting that guess right has just MADE my day!

"It's Reagan's fault!"

I want to work at the Bloom County Beacon, yes I do!

Re: Postponed Due to World Peace

[shirtlifterbear.livejournal.com]

Nabbed the Liberal icon for my journal! You've just made a grown man cry tears of joy!

Re: Postponed Due to World Peace

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

dear reader: you have no idea how much we appreciate your restraint. but then knowing you? Restrained is your preferred position in life. so - :) well... just sayin'

[balanceinchaos.livejournal.com]

This must have been the week of "adjusting workouts=pain"... I'm in a similar boat!

[cuyahogarvr.livejournal.com]

I see your Mathematician (K) and add one computer geek (B)!
What was I thinking???????????

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

(points) SADIST!

you and I can go off and soak in palmolive while the get their math on. Deal?

[cuyahogarvr.livejournal.com]

Works for me.
I also need to chime in concerning the above comment about microbiologists. My ex was a microbiologist.
The mathematician and computer geek are heavenly in comparison.
*swoon*

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

what kind of math does Kent do? David does environmental math for Palo Alto Research Center...

[cuyahogarvr.livejournal.com]

LOL, his major was Math and Theater (go figure). He taught math as a substiture for a semester, but now he's a in the legal field. So, no longer in the field, but still just as warped.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

Math AND Theater? OMG - it resulted in a brilliant decisive man who has a high appreciation for drama! Now I know why he loves you and Brian He must be such a saint!

[bukephalus.livejournal.com]

You getting in over your head with a mathematician... Excellent possibilities. Like for a Stoppardeque play.

But I'm sure it's been done.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

Coincidence that Brazil is a favorite of David's? I don't think so.

[trulygrateful.livejournal.com]

The next time he asks you to quantify... just look at him and, with a serious look on your face, say, "Think qualitative, honey. Think qualitative, not quantitative."

See what his response is.


Sadly, I *do* understand this to a degree, though I certainly don't have to live in a land of quantifications and absolutes. As a matter of fact, the only real absolute which matters is the one without the 'e' in it.

If you want to do something cute, you could pull out the gold old time-trusted distance formula d = (sqrt (x-k)^2 + (y-m)^2) but that would force you to think in a coordinate system, which is not impossible for the non-mathematical mind.

But yer still cute, anyways. :)

XOXOXO

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

he doesn't find life or romance something that has to have absolutes - but he said we couldn't research kissability factor without clearly defining it. :) It was a smart ass answer. I'll keep 'plugging' away and see if we come up with a solution for K sooner than later. :)

[brevat.livejournal.com]

As a analyst that does lots of statistics I have to agree with his logic. Though feel free to try this for size.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

what are the definition of "r", "d", "l", "t"?

[brevat.livejournal.com]

R represents you, D represents David, L represents love or feelings and t represents the time spent together.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

so why the "minus T" at the end of the equation

[brevat.livejournal.com]

Doh, that would be a boo boo on my part, it should be times T.

[althrman.livejournal.com]

After reading your entry, I think I know where you went wrong with this mornings workout…….YOU did the DADDY upgrade, NOT the MOMMY upgrade, no wonder you are sore sweetie,

*ducking*

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-H thats what I did wrong! now I get it!


*ducks*



get it? Ducks? Oregon Ducks? get it? I kill myself! LOL!
