Well, it's been an eventful week. For one, I lasted 1 day without coffee. This is funny. But not. But it is. I saw it coming because I gave my password and birthdate to what I thought was an email from Microsoft Network. I received a similar one about six months ago and ignored it because I smelled a scam. However a week later my msn email was canceled, like the email said would happen if I didn't supply personal information. I eventually got it back up and running again, but it sure was a pain without it because it was connected to all of my accounts. So On Sunday I get another of these emails and this time I follow instructions. Oops. On Monday morning I'm getting swamped with phone calls and Facebook emails either saying I got scammed, or if I'm okay. This is what they received, friends and family, via email or Facebook message:
Hi, I'm sorry to disturb you with this. I am in London,England now due to urgent matter. I'm in a terrible situation. I really need your help with a loan of US$2,000. I'll explain the situation better once i get back this weekend. If you can help out with the money or whatever funds you can come up with will be greatly appreciated. I really need you to get back to me as soon as you get this email. Please keep this between us.
Thanks,

It wasn't spam for Viagra, it was a personal email with my name on it. Creepy. But does this look realistic to you? Didn't think so. On top of that I was on the internet live that day. I immediately cancelled my credit cards. My msn email was hijacked, with the password and security question changed. Doubly creepy. I was so distraught I gave in and...got a large iced coffee. I'm still not off of it. Plus my time of month hit that day, so I craved that and sugar even more. The sorry sad thing is that if I wasn't on Antabuse, I might had drank. However I really didn't care how I felt on coffee, but the weird thing was that I'd only drink about 3-4 ounces then stop. The beauty of this hacking though was that I had a lot of junkmail in there anyway. I also changed all of my accounts except for itunes, which I'll get around to. Also, a lot of friends, even an ex-boyfriend, came out of the woodwork, so I got to keep up with them! Hey if it takes that to catch up with them...It's funny, a Friend from France almost had her friend vacationing in London rescue me. Can you believe it.
On a different note, I started Insanity on Tuesday, and it's kicking my calves to the curb. I'm finishing each DVD though, if barely. The first one is a fit test and I did take about a 5 minute break instead of 30 seconds halfway through. Each workout is 30-55 minutes and the first month ones are no longer than 40. Today, day 4, was cardio recovery, but don't be fooled by 'recovery'. There was no sweating buckets involved like the other three days, but a lot of squats, balances, lunges, and power yoga. It was more burn than sweat. The program is 60 days, 6 workouts a week. If I don't get soccer calves by October I'll be thoroughly disappointed.
My friend took my "before" photos and it was a riot. I decided to be 'creative' and make muscle man and cheeseball faces. I wonder how the Beachbody folks will take those. You have to send them in, and after your "after" photo, they'll send you a free t-shirt. Bonus. The only drawback was that I had trouble falling asleep, and last night I got about 2-3hours! I expected instead to sleep like a baby. Or was it subconscious trauma from the email hacker? The PMS perhaps? OR...too much caffeine? Hmmm?
