Today we did our PEB testing for physical fitness. I'm happy to say that I've lost another 10 pounds and scored well on the flexibility and body composition. I came in 5th in the 1.5 mile run and out of 26 students, and I'll take that. 2 kids here are cross country freaks. For my age group I scored a time in the 83rd percentile for all students in the Law Enforcement Academies in the United States. I also scored decent on my benchpress, lifting 110% of my body weight. I could lift more if the machine they used was more "tall" friendly. It makes you start the lift from too low and my shoulder hurt after doing it. Oh well, I have 3 months to work out and bump that percentage up. We had a guy lift 380 pounds, but he's fat and ran slow and sucked at everything else. I also did well on my Illinois Agility run. I had a time of 16.75 seconds and that was on wet pavement so when I do it in May, I know that will be much faster.
Overall I think I'm very high in the class as far as fitness goes. I'm continuing to lose a lot of weight, partly due to my turkey sandwich and banana for lunch diet. I haven't had pop since my dad left and don't see myself drinking it while I'm here at all. I enjoy being in good shape and realize how not in shape I was before coming here, haha and I'm only 3 days in! I may actually reach my weight goal of 190-195 pounds.
The amount of information that I am receiving is ridiculous. My brain is so tired from 8 hour lectures. Today was only 4 hours of lecture and 4 hours of Physical Training. Tomorrow is another full 8 hour lecture day. So draining for me since I can't use pop to wake myself back up.
I like everyone in the class except one girl. She sits right in front of me and shakes her head yes if she agrees with the instructor, or no if she doesn't. But her head NEVER stops moving. She is a living bobble-head. She does this constantly. Constantly sucking up to our instructors. Such a stupid Know-it-all. Everyone in class feels the same way too, we've all talked about it. She claimed yesterday that she runs 8-10 miles, and I beat her 1.5 mile time by over a minute and a half. Cocky idiot. Yes I am tired and cranky tonight but she sucks and you all should know she does. She can take her masters degree and shove it.
I try to be perfect here, since that's what they want anyways, not that it doesn't come with consequences. My roommate told me to not get burnt out and that he thinks I'm trying too hard. I know I am, but I just don't want to be noticed for anything that isn't perfect, since that is met with physical demands such as pushups or running. Everything that does happen in class that isn't perfect, we do physical things as a group. So if one person continues to screw up, they will soon know about it. We can't hit him or anything, just yell at him when he messes up. I already see one guy making us do a ton of stuff by how sloppy he is in general. I shouldn't complain since I want to get in great shape.
Oh well.
Sorry for the cranky blog.
