Rest Day at the Ren Fair

Today was a big eating day of bad (good) fair foods. Needless to say, I went way over my daily recommended dosage of crap (and didn't even take my vitamins!) and everyone else but hell, everybody needs a cheat day (weekend) once in a while.

I picked up a sweet little "pigasus" from DragonWings and a jar of voluptuous buckwheat honey from The Bee Folks for my chamomile mint teas.

Maybe my body will take all that fried grease and use it to lubricate my poor calves, which are oranges of stiff painfulness.

Just so long as they are in working condition by tomorrow night so I can climb up the trapeze rig.

The interesting thing is that this week I ate really well, and very vegan. When I started eating meat on the weekend I noticed a difference in how my body was digesting. Not a bad difference, but a difference that suggested to me that, indeed, vegetables are easier to digest then meats. I know this isn't a revelation to anybody but me, but still its cool that my body has proved this too me. Then today, I ate (yummy) deep-fried fair-food, and WHOA I was falling asleep on my feet in the middle of the day. I was so groggy and stupefied that I fell asleep on El Mejor Pistolero's (broad, virile, sexy) shoulder three times in what must've been a half and hour weapons demonstration. Keep in mind, I was sitting on picnic-style benches. I imagine if I'd been sitting on the ground or something I'd still be lying there dead to the world.

This week is going to be another good week though... I even got the fixings for that fancy savory mushroom bake I like so much!

Day Seventeen

All I can say is umgh.

Shoulders and Arms went really well actually, so well that I'm going to get a 10lb weight for some of the things that went *too* well. Ab Ripper, on the other hand... I got about three minutes in and my leg started acting up. I'm really not willing to aggravate it any more... ignoring it only makes it worse plus there is mucho ab work in Yoga X anyway.

Damn leg.

I did put in a solid three minutes though!!!

I'm not to worried about the ab stuff, honestly, since I'll be starting pilates at school on Monday.

But I still haven't heard anything back from Sallie Mae yet.

In other news, I'm keeping my fingers and monkey toes crossed for the Notorious EMP and his interviews today!

Day Five, I hope...

The good news: I feel fairly un-sore.
The better news: I'm done with manegerial accounting! Horaaay!
The bad news: Since I dont have a pull-up bar, I'm not sure how todays work-out will go.
The worse news: unprecedented levels of inertia.

I'm going to browse through the list of videos and just pick one that looks fun I guess.

And give myself a half hour to digest the lentil/chili and tortilla I had for breakfast!

Ok I decided to do cardio today instead, and I just skipped the chair lifts and bananas because my right hip has been hurting (I think because of the chair lifts) and "clicking" with certain motions, which I definitely think is a strong sign to leave it alone. I skipped Ab Ripper too for the same reason. Sort of funny that I missed abs because of my legs.

I'll admit that I didn't "bring it" all the way, but I put in a solid medium level of "bringing it" and worked up a good sweat. I think I'm going to head out to the pool today, too, because its actually looking pretty nice and sunny out.

Tonight, if all goes according to plan I'll be on a flight to NY, and since I'm committed to doing P90X while there that means I've got to lug along this heavy, stupid laptop.

Breakfast: lentils/chili & tortilla, last little slice of pecan pie
Lunch: pasta with smart balance, parm, and basil
Dinner: Fudruckers burger, 1/2 bun, diet coke (@ airport)
Munchies at Home: piece of fresh mozzarella, quarter of a chicken parm cutlet, handful of fruit crisp, 3 table spoons worth of frozen blueberries, kashi and yogurt

I know, I know, my food intake has been sort of a joke for somebody who wants to lose a few pounds. I'll be back on track tomorrow! (Of course thats what I said yesterday...)

The pool didn't happen today, but I might go to Jones Beach tomorrow with my sister, and will definitely "bring it" tomorrow morning with Kenpo!

To be honest, I think taking it easy today with just the Cardio X was just what my body needed.
