Alcoholic drinks!
So I didn't exercise the first two weeks of August-at all, and I managed to gain three pounds, but you know, it was so worth it. I had excellent food, I was able to go somewhere I'd wanted to go since I was 13 years old and read my first Anne Rice book, and I had good company. I am hoping to go back now that I know the lay out a little better. And just imagine, I gained weight-even with the walking of over 19 miles over the course of 4 days!
So moving on, after that it was my actual birthday, which I celebrated by eating cake (white white chocolate from Nothing Bundt Cakes) and pizza (Mellow Mushroom's Kosmic Karma). I had a good day. After that it was time to get back to the grind, and I was back at working both jobs, and slowly I've been building up to going to the gym three times a week again. I only managed 5 workouts last month, but every single one was a qualifying workout out (600 calories or more). One of them was even a 1000+ calorie work out. So all in all, I'm okay with that.
This month I decided to go a little crazy and go with my brother to CrossFit...
It was intense. I was walking like a duck for two days afterward. It hurt to stand. It hurt to sit. It hurt to lie down. But it was a great work out. It was qualified (600+) but it was painful. That was on the first Monday of the month. I couldn't get to the gym due to said soreness and other things, but it wouldn't have mattered, because by Thursday night I was at home with a 102 degree fever and a cold from hell...in Texas...during the summer. Who does that? Me.
Today is Tuesday. I am finally getting over the cold. I did go to the gym last night, did a qualifying workout, and slept for the first time since Thursday. So I am better.
This is my long awaited post. Oh, and no, I didn't eat the oysters, I made L1 eat them. :-)
