Laurenji Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 One is fitness related, one isn't, but both of them combined made my day yesterday. First, I managed 5 assisted pullups. I call them assisted because I'm not doing them on a pullup bar, I'm doing them on the edge of my entertainment center, and my feet never quite leave the floor, so I don't think I'm pulling up all my own weight. BUT a couple months ago I could barely manage 1, so I gave up and started doing dumbell rows and stuff to make my back stronger. So now I'm stronger! W00t!Second one is, I finally got a job! Okay, so it's only a paid internship for 12 weeks, but it's a start! And I'll be getting money again! Also w00t!Anyways, just thought I'd share my happiness with everyone...
