Party in the USA

Monday was mighty rainy and I wasn't feeling so hot, Tuesday we had a difficult time waking up and ended up missing our post-work chance to run since we were both stuck at work late and had a commitment at 6pm. Alas, Wednesday AM was the answer - and hoping to pop out for a run this evening in this lovely Fall weather!

Oh No, I Got to Keep on Moving

Got back to ye ole gym again this morning. Felt (and looked) like a blimp, but at least we got it done. Today I'm looking forward to trying out a new chiropractor near work, Old Navy Stuff 'n Save, and then taking in the BROWNS vs. Bills game in the comfort of our own home. Here's hoping they can pull off a third win in a row!!

We're Baaaaaaaack

...After the back fiasco. After 7 full days of stretching, heating, cracking, and now using a TENS (first time last night and it's awesome), we are back. Still going to get a massage and most likely set something up with a chiropractor and perhaps a doctor to address it.

Toosday

Got to keep the momentum to keep the streak alive, so we hit the RAC up this evening. It may not have been pretty or overly intense (especially after not the greatest night's sleep and after a day of work) but by golly, we went. I also tried out my Lulu Groovy Run Shorts. I found I need to drop a few LBs and they will fit a little better.

After a day and a half of recommitting ourselves to a majority Paleo diet aka better and healthier lifestyle, we ended up going to Bellacino's for dinner tonight. Sure, could have gotten salad, but we ended up going with a side salad and the PIZZA special. So we caved for a good cause - to support Chuck Storm! We each purchased a t-shirt and 10% of all food sales from today are also of benefit. We can't forget about an additional side perk - the joy of seeing our friends of The Mud Freaks waiting on us :)

It's been a rough couple of days, so comfort food always helps soothe someone to a degree, but the discomfort of seeing flub in places it shouldn't be and clothes not fitting the same can certainly keep someone on track. I wore my new Lululemon Groovy Run Shorts, but was a bit miffed at how much more snug they were even since I tried them on and purchased them in Charlotte the day before Key West. I've got A LOT of WORK to do to get back to the shape I was in during LuRong last Fall and Half Marathon training this past Spring. As does Chad. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

ARManic Monday

Sore from this weekend's WODs with the Mud Freaks (mostly mid and lower back) and just plain tired. We went to a grad party last night and ate and drank things that are not necessarily conducive to weight loss. Didn't sleep well and while we were cozying with Piggy, Chad said "Let's just go to the gym tonight, if that's okay" to which I replied, "No, we're going this morning." So we did.

Man, is it hot in there. Every time we leave we're dripping sweat. Guess that's a good thing, eh? Also used the speaker on the ol' iPhone and listened to Pandora while working out this time. Proved to be pretty effective, but I'd prefer an iTunes mix. Will have to work on that for next time.
