Welcome to the weekend! I decided to take yesterday (Friday) off. I worked my tuckus off every day this week (Sunday -Thursday) and even doubled up my workout on Wednesday. I earned a day off, and I think my muscles have thanked me for it. At least, I am moving a tad bit quicker today, so far.
On Thursday I met with Coach Kathleen and did another intense workout with her, and followed it up with 30 minutes on the treadmill. During the 108 minute workout I burned 742 calories, which felt really good! Later that afternoon I went for a 1.2 mile walk, hopefully burning at least another 100 calories. Finally, I finished off the night with bowling. Ahhh....the weekly Bowling League. I love it, it's so nerdy to say this, but I do.
I absolutely bowled the best 3 game series that I have ever bowled. I would say that I was able to do this due to my stronger core! I always have focused on holding in my core when I go up to bowl, but this week it felt a lot better. I have to say that I only was able to do this due to my training over the last 2 weeks. I know this may sound a little strange, but yep...that's what I chalk up my 5.38 pin increase on my averaged up to!
It's Easter weekend, and it is a little difficult to make sure that I do everything I need to do to keep on my journey...especially when I forget my freaking shorts for my workout! Seriously! I remembered everything else...digging through my bag last night as we were getting ready for bed, I was like, "Noooooooooooooo!!!". Guess that means I'll do more work tomorrow when we get back to Columbus. It's not the end of the world. I can take 2 days off in a row (and we will at least be walking around a lot today & having fish for dinner), but it was part of my plan to eat well & still workout during this trip. I won't let it derail everything though.
Was tested this afternoon when we went to Sammy's for lunch. Seriously - there were some crazy, crazy items on their menu. A bacon-wrapped hot dog, covered in chorizo, and then covered in queso. Yeah...pretty much a heart attack on a bun. So, I had to make sure I wasn't tempted by the cheese covered devil.
Back to the drawing board tomorrow...and getting back on the workouts.
Hope everyone has a very Happy Easter!
