Well, the weekend started off great. Had dinner with the fantastic crew on Friday night. Had to work on Saturday morning, and Saturday night (for those of you that don't know, I have two jobs, might currently be looking for a third :-(...), but after the second job I got to go to the Improv and watch a fan-freaking-tastic comedy show with Ali Sidiq and Sydney Castillo. I cleaned my house Sunday, Monday went and saw Transformers 3, which was good, but a tad bit too long in my opinion. And so we come to Tuesday....
See the thing is that I am a competitor, and, like I've said many times before, the easiest ways to get me to do something are A) tell me I can't do it, or B) shame me into doing it. So, Tuesday, as I was saying. I got up to do some errands, since I know V was going to be busy for a couple of hours, I thought I'd get the most mundane errands out of the way. I ended up meeting up with ME1 at HP Books so that she could sell some books and we ended up hanging out for a while. She showed off her looser pants, and then very meticulously kept track of her points (she is currently on Weight Watchers), and I felt like a slacker. SO, when I got home I got V to go with me to the trails, where I rode from the entrance on University to the endpoint on Bryant Irvin and back. In a heat index of 104. My water was already hot halfway through. Needless to say almost to the end of my ride I was dehydrated, and I was developing a migraine, I had to stop for a bit and cool off before finishing the ride. It took about an hour, so not my best time. The distance was 8.96 miles, so longer than my ride to work. Still, I got up off my lazy ass and did it, which should count for something. :-D
Also, I've given up the calorie counting, since it was too time consuming and I'm eating more than I should "normally" eat anyways. I tried eating the recommended 2000 calories a day, which amounted to a bowl of cereal and a hot pocket, and I was constantly hungry. So, no restricted eating for me. V tried to make me feel better by saying I have a high metabolism. LOL.
Anyways, any advice is welcome.
No stats for today or this weekend...it was a HOLIDAY.
Cheers!!
Dude, it was HOT. I think you did fan-freaking-tastic and I'm really proud of you for getting out there and doing it. This time of year it's so freaking difficult working out outside because the intense heat is just draining. So the fact that you actually did it makes you mighty. :D
