Dang, I'm behind! I had a busy weekend and not too much fitness to post about so I guess 4 days in one isn't so bad.
Friday found me completely wiped out. I got home, waited for a cupcake pick up (an hour late...), got some dinner with Hubs (awesome Cajun scallops! I took half home), and then crashed. It was supposed to be a "nap". I woke up at 11pm to take out my contacts and set my alarm for the morning. No workout for me. But that's OK because I knew I'd be gone all day Saturday so first thing in the morning was my only workout option. I didn't want to do back to back workouts with only some sleep separating them.
Cue 5am Saturday morning. Dragged my butt out of bed, ran a mile outside before the heat kicked in, did my own version of Body Rock, and hit the shower. I was set to leave at 7am to head up to Milwaukee with some girl friends. We geocached the whole way there and back. Our mission in Milwaukee was to hit the Safe House restaurant, which is a super cool spy themed place. All the walls are covered in spy stuff and there are secret passageways and all that. It was so fun! I have to go back with my nieces and Hubs. They will love it! So I packed dried fruit, water, and my friend brought along some fresh fruit. But the Pringles she brought were my downfall. We munched on those leading into town. I got a salad at the restaurant that cost double what the greasy burgers did. Grrrr. But I was happy I made a healthy choice. We walked around a bit and found some more caches. It was HOT though. Then we cached our way home and didn't get back till after 2. In the morning. It was a long day but it was fun. I have NO idea how many calories I ate but I can't imagine it was too horrible. Even if I ate the whole can of chips by myself, it would be 900 calories. Couple that with my 250 cal protein shake, the fruit, and my salad, I can't have surpassed my daily burn. Right?
Sunday I slept in after being out so late. I was hurting. I need consistent sleep to function. But it was weigh in day! I was down another 5 pounds, putting me at 11 pounds gone! YAY! I had my shake and Hubs wanted to grab some sushi for lunch. We lounged around for a bit and then headed out. We got a TON of food for the 6 rolls we thought we ordered. Some were huge. But amazingly delicious. We then attempted to go to Whole Foods (I've never been there) but it was crowded so we picked up our 2 necessary things and got out of there. I took another nap and then cleaned up the house. Sunday nights are True Blood nights so at 8 my friends came over for that. No workout again. Argh!
Yesterday was TKD day. It was fun! Did some basic kicks while walking the dojang and hitting targets. My master was really pushing the height of my axe kicks (over my 5'8" head!) and something tweaked in my hip. OW! But I kept going... We then moved on to the heavy bag. This time there were no flying kicks so I didn't feel like an idiot and got to use my power. Afterwards, we practiced our testing techniques, which I really need to work on my balance for! We lined up and did some partner workouts. We had to link legs and do sit ups at the same time, punching at the top. Not too bad except I can't tell you the last time I did 50 sit ups IN A ROW. Of course I was slacking at the end but my master wanted me to go all the way up. Amazing how hard you can push when you have a Korean ready to kick your butt if you don't finish! We did squats and squats with kicks with our partners and then reverse sit ups. Let me tell you, 50 reverse sit ups in a row equals a booty on fire! But I didn't quit to rest once. I was so proud! Then I was told to stay after class. I got to learn my nun-chuck techniques! I have never tested with them and haven't even picked them up in 2 years. It was interesting and I look forward to learning more!
Tonight the plan is to grocery shop and run/Body Rock. I hope my hips feel ok!
I'm feeling on the brink of saying who cares to all this. Which is what I normally do 2 weeks in. I'm fighting hard to push past it but its rough. Especially when I weighed in this morning and was up SEVEN POUNDS since Sunday. WHAT?!? How does that happen? No way did I eat 24,500 calories!! I'm hoping its water retention from the salty sushi and that in a day or two it goes bye bye and takes some friends with it. How discouraging! But I'm pressing on. And NOT going to buy some delicious Dairy Queen down the street like I want to to drown my sorrows.
Eat Clean, Train Dirty,
