Wed 11 Oct 2006
Considering how exhausted I was yesterday, I was surprised that, as I yawned my way home late after work yesterday (I left an hour and a half later than I usually do, too), I managed to make it to jujitsu, and then when I was done there, I went to the gym. At the gym, I increased my treadmill running pace to 6mph, and did 30 minutes of hills on level 4. And then I hit the weights. It was not a good day to forget my gym towel. I was just wet during and afterwards. It was disgusting. I had to take a shower (I had my bath towel) afterwards even tho it was close to midnight when I got done, and the clothes I peeled off myself weighed probably a few pounds due to the sweat absorption. It was like, someone poured a gallon of salt on me, and I’m a snail. The small reward after the workout is that I caved and had an In-N-Out cheeseburger, animal-style. I’ve all but weeded fast food out of my life, and sodas as well, but I’ve always made an exception for In-N-Out in my head because their food is more natural and less processed than other fast food burger joints. However, the last time I had In-N-Out, it was stupidly 2 days before a gym weigh-in, and I bloated 6 lbs for the next 4-5 days and I refused to get weighed in for another week because of that.
Speaking of not drinking sodas, here’s an article about a study that links cola consumption to osteoperosis in women, courtesy James.
Today: gym at lunch and bellydancing. I’d made the commitment to my gym trainee about 45 minutes ago, and then the judge announces on the bench that if we’re not at a certain point in our trial, he’s going to keep going right into lunch to get it done. =P Oh well, we’ll both by gymming anyway, even if we’re not doing it at the same time. I’d called Dwaine yesterday to let him know about a Beverages and More sale, buy 1 bottle of wine, get the 2nd same bottle of wine for $0.05. He invited me to go wine-shopping with him today, and I’d agreed, not realizing it’s bellydancing Wednesday (the Monday holiday threw me off). Well, if we can make it back by 8 for my class, I won’t have to cancel on him.
By the way, did I mention it took me a full year to lose the stupid 10 lbs I gained last September/October? I still have to lose the 5 lbs I gained after February. Stupid metabolism. Stupid high school anorexia.
Anything that can take the rust off a bumper can’t be good to consume/digest. I cut way back on sodas nearly ten years ago… I switched to lemonade/iced tea. Once in awhile, I’ll have a ginger ale or root beer, rarely do I drink a cola beverage.
Age has a lot to do with the metabolism thing too.. supposed to slow way down after the age of 30, BUT… 30 is the new 20, so maybe that’s going to change.
I know for me, I could maintain 110 lbs easy.. no matter what I ate. I can’t do that now. I actually have to work at it. I still can’t get back there (7 lbs away)… screw it!!
I don’t think I’ve ever hit 110 except in 7th grade on the way up.
You have been so good with your routine! I on the other hand sucked majorly! Tomorrow marks 3 weeks! 3 WEEKS!!!! YIKES!!!! I lack motivation in the biggest way! 🙁
Isn’t Coke the soda that disintegrates battery acid? Anything that does that it definitely not good for consumption
Yeah, there was this email going around about all the household stuff you can use Coke for, like bleaching out the inside of your toilets or dissolving your neighborhood pets. I’m not sure how true those things are, could be urban legends. But anything made of that high acid content and chemicals is probably not something I want coursing through my body.
Have you had people ask you why you’re aiming to be bikini ready in October? I have. Plenty.
I didn’t ask.. because I already know.
You want to get lei’d.
No one has asked me why, they are more like trying to tempt me w/ food. Isn’t that awful!
I DO! I *DO* want to get lei’d!!
Tempting with food is NOT being supportive. Friends don’t tempt friends with food. That’d just make me more stubborn about not eating whatever they’re eating. “Thanks, but I don’t wanna look like you. You go right ahead, tho. It’s nice that you have a healthy self-image.”
Doesn’t everyone get lei’d in Hawaii?
I’m drinking a gigantic extra large diet coke right now too… hmmn. good thing the bone thing doesn’t apply to us.
It’s Jordan’s play on words for “get laid.” But that aside, I think you only get a lei if you buy a special travel package. Or if your hotel does it or something. This reminds me of going to Cancun and our resort hotel brought up our luggage with a martini for me and Diana.
Dang, you have to PAY to get lei’d now?? Dang I thought there were laws against that kind of thing.
You got a free martini when you got to Cancun?? Geeze. We got..let’s see.. Oh. Nothing. It was interesting getting from the airport to our resort … no free martinis. But once we got to the hotel, they offered us free water and some other concoction. It took us 2.5 hours to actually get IN the room… we walked around the premises during that time, so it wasn’t too bad.
