LEATHER STRAPS...OH MY:

The food police were out again yesterday...I think there is a conspiracy afoot to get me to lose weight! I was in the grocery store and I had three people check out what I was buying! I think the Sarge is having me followed.

Today we discarded the route march and instead we did some circuit training in the gym...fun. The Sarge was concerned about the knee problem so decided to this instead. I actually started to think Sarge had a heart after all...wrong! The circuit training almost friggin killed me ( random thought, did you know the hippopotamus has a gestation period of 8 months) every time I thought I was finished there was something else to do! We went over to this one machine that had leather straps, she then said she has the boots to match! All of a sudden she started talking like this "Ve have vays of making you vork" , she is no longer just Sarge, she's Helga she wolf of the Waffen SS! That pretty much describes the rest of the morning.

At one point she said she was going to have me do a hand stand...okay nothing like a fractured skull! Maybe she thought this would take my mind off my knee; turns out she said a ham stand.

Right now it's several hours removed from my time in the gym...oh the agony. It's all for a good cause though.

I know this is really what your waiting for..." The day after tomorrow is the third day of the rest of your life"...George Carlin.

Signing off...
