SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! June 11th

yoginimary

Heat index - 105 today - near 100 temps as far as the forecast can see. It's like living in V's Bikram class. I really appreciate AC. I'm jealous of MM's rain though.

I'm up early today, so I might make it to spin class. Hopefully, it won't be one of the full ones (where people give you dirty looks for sitting on "their" bike). I can always do the treadmill though. Hope to make it to yoga tonight. There's a class at 4:30 that's hard and one at 6:00 that's easy.

I found a pizza place in California that's vegetarian - excited - not that it's difficult to get veggie pizza - but if I was to create a restaurant - it would be veggie Italian.

Almost weekend boogaloo!

I'm up early today, so I might make it to spin class. Hopefully, it won't be one of the full ones (where people give you dirty looks for sitting on "their" bike).

That is the number one reason I quit my old gym. Too "clique-y", and heaven help your if you were on someone else's bike. I like the purely democratic thing of: get here first, first pick.

Had my first full nights sleep in over a week last night, thanks to finally getting answers to questions, and venting my concerns. I used the phrase "the lack of transparency here is both unnecessary and unfair." in one of my meetings, which was a lot better than the string of profanities raging through my head. The counselor said "well, you have every right to see your contract, numbers, blah, blah, blah." and I replied: "the point is, I shouldn't have to have to ask for the answers, they should be presented to me. Before I have to start working. And, I shouldn't be given a vague assignment on the first day of teaching. What would parents of undergraduate students think if they knew this?" (veiled threat boogaloo.) It was then that more scholarship money magically materialized for me. Go figure.

Today I have a barter session with my trainer, and a "myofascial release" session. It's sort of like a massage, but it just feels like someone's putting a lot of weight in one place and just sitting there. It's part of my "use every penny of my insurance coverage" plan of getting my money. Also, it really helps with my muscle pain, a lot of which is caused by my muscles essentially getting stuck in the contracted position. I should be crazy buff from that, at least.

Yikes! Novel! (I even edited out a bunch. I'm wordy.)

Oh, Wandering, I caught the first five minutes of the premiere before my DVR got all screwed up. (grr.) I taped it again later, so hopefully that one was OK. I have to say, the first five minutes were powerful. I'm glad your ratings were so high! Number one on cable seems really impressive.

Take care of yourselves boogaloo! :flowerforyou:

It has not stopped raining since 6:45pm yesterday! I'm not kidding you. It stormed all night. And it's still storming this morning. They canceled Bible study this morning because the pastor's house hasn't had electricity since the storms started yesterday and their backyard is also flooded. I am thankful for the rain, but a little irritated I didn't get my run in this morning. :laugh:
If the inlaws leave later this morning, then will try to get taebo in this afternoon. If not then I don't think I will get any exercise.
I didn't log yesterday but I'm pretty sure I stayed in my calories. I couldn't really eat lunch because I was nervous about my appointment. lol. I left a third of my dinner last night. Usually I would have eaten all of it, but I actually stopped! :happy: So I think yesterday was pretty good. My clothes are fitting better so that's a big motivation.
I'm not sure what to do with myself. Alex is sleeping in, the inlaws are here. I feel like I should be cleaning since my inlaws are here. Ha ha.
Rainy day boogaloo!

Oh, and Mary. . .1967. Definitely 1967. Definitely. I actually have the idea that the ten+ years of my life that I haven't owned a car entitles me to the emissions from it if I ever have the money to get it.

"veiled threat boogaloo"...LOL

Good for you for getting answers!

I'm off to the gym right NOW before I lose momentum and the day gets crazy. I've taken on an apartment renovation (painting, putting in wood floors, buying new furniture) during the next two weeks before I go back to work as a splurge to myself. Figured I want to make my place as wonderful as it can be.

Okay, today:
~ VITAMINS. WHY is this so hard??
~ Cardio intervals -- 10 minutes on 5 different machines with weightlifting in between
~ Gentle yoga tonight?

Alright I think the rain is almost through. I may go for a jog in a while since it's only going to get up to 82. It will just be super humid! Or I may do nothing. I've been feeling a nothing kind of day today. Except staying within cals.
Oh, I just remembered that there's food at the dance performance I am attending tonight. Hmmm. I may need to work out a little in case there's some good desserts!

I hope I have learned my lesson. I am tired today because of the weather and all the storms through the night. So for some reason I decide to overeat at lunch. I feel absolutely horrible. I have not really over eaten in about two weeks, and I have felt so much better. I'm starting to see why I was grouchy all the time and didn't want to play with the kids - or my DH for that matter. I don't like this. Can we rewind the day? I need to start over. I went for a half hearted walk/jog and now I just want to sleep.
I hope I remember this feeling and don't do it again.

Hi folks! I was all set to go to Zumba after work - until I looked in my gym bag and realized that I had no pants. :embarassed: I'm wearing jeans today (size 8 boogaloooooo!) so there wasn't much hope of that working out. And then I got a call from work... so the short story is that I've only done cardio once so far this week. Arrggh. I think I am stressed about getting ready for my trip, and everything going on at work (I have to work on Sunday, and we leave on Monday - boo). My eating hasn't been terrible, but it's not exactly fabulous. I am really tempted to go out and grab some ice cream.

BTW - does anyone else love So You Think You Can Dance? If I could have any body I wanted, it would definitely be a dancer's body. Last night one couple did a dance to Jai Ho (the final song from Slumdog Millionaire), which made me really happy. I would so like to learn how to dance Bollywood or Bhangra style - it just looks like so much fun!

Getting through this week boogaloo...
