First day of fall? Uh huh.
I noticed the humidity when I stepped outside to head out to Adventure Boot Camp this morning at 5. I thought, well, we had one week of awesome fall-like weather, it had to end sometime. It did not occur to me, however, that with humidity comes EXTREME MOSQUITOS until I was already outside and warming up on the grass.
I forgot just how much I hate humidity. I now have at least 800 mosquito bites. And Google is telling me it’s the first day of fall. Apparently Texas missed that memo.
Other than the humidity and the fact that I ate pizza last night, I noticed a major improvement between today and my first day of exercising last Monday. I kept up with other people so much better today, which makes me all the more annoyed that I won’t be able to attend the rest of the week because I’ll be out of town. Sure, I could exercise while I’m gone, but I honestly don’t think I’m even near a point where I know how to push myself to do the right things on my own.
Anyway, I brought up the fact that I ate pizza last night because at one point this morning I had to stop because I thought I was going to puke. We just finished doing these things called “burpees,” where in you put your hands on the ground in a squat, pop out your legs straight behind you, jump them back in, then jump up–and repeat. Ugh. I didn’t feel it until it was over. We were doing them in partners, which always makes me feel obligated to do more (maybe that’s the point). I did not recover well.
I’m quite sure the pizza dinner did not help. Pizza always makes me feel like ass crackers; I honestly don’t know why I eat it. I think it’s like Lewis Black and candy corn.
I love candy corn. Though it usually makes me sick. I think I just eat too much of it.
Good luck trying to work out while you’re out of town. I know how hard it is to motivate yourself. Heck, I wish we had one of those Adventure Boot Camp things around here.
First off, good for you! It’s hard to change your routine and commit to exercising, I know for sure first hand. I rescently went to a Holistic Nursing Retreat. I swear it changed my life for the better. It was more about how we as nurses deny caring for ourselves because we spend so much energy on everyone else. They also showed us the amazing things we could do to help our patients in order to avoid the drugs.. I know how resistant most will be to this, but hey, if you start with a few, it’s bound to catch on. I actually had a MASSAGE! I had never had one, and it was awesome. I also did the accupuncture and some lady did a reading on me while deciding which aromatherapy oils to give me to try… I was so shocked that she was so dead on with my personal (and I mean PRIVATE!) issues that I got a little emotional, lol. I learned some Tai Chi – who knew you could be sore and sweaty from such little movement?!?!?! I have committed to tryign to do that at least as much as possible, it doesn’t require a DVD or me getting dressed in unflattering clothing and going to a gym or running to get some exercise, so I love it!
It’s so relaxing, ahhh – just had to burst all that out to ya, I have been so excited and your topic tied in so nicely haha.
I get sick off the candy pumpkins… I <3 FALL! It’s my alltime fav season, I’m so glad it is here – BTW we had like 40 degree weather for the reatreat and I had packed tank tops.. lol
Thanks, gals!
Deb–you might check the main boot camp site to see if they have one near you! I kept linking to the College Station TX one, but here’s the main site: http://www.bootcampfinder.com
Actually, what you said about candy corn more accurately describes my stance on pizza. I like the taste, but it makes me want to die a little bit a few hours later. Candy corn, however, never appealed to me. I’ve always had issues with non-chocolate candy though, I think. XD
Ash–you know my first thought when you mentioned Tai Chi is SIMS. Haha. Oh, man.
That’s sounds fun though! Is it anything like when Sims do it? Hehe, I don’t know anything about it otherwise.
And I’m curious what on earth that lady could have asked!! XD
40 degree weather? Ooooo nice. Well, actually, that’s winter weather here, and I would freeze my ass off in anything short of a heavy winter clothes, but the idea of something other than 85-90 sounds awesome. Which we had last week (70s), but it already went away. :[
Haha, luckily I had brought pants insteead of capris – which was my first thought on what to take with me… luckily I had brought one sweater but I had to wear it both days…lol
Yeah actually it looks alot like when the sims do it and theoretically it’s supposed to regain energy – just like it does for them – but I didn’t feel very energetic afterwards.
Hah, probably because I am so out of shape
Our cool weather has gone as well – but it should be back soon.
Oh she didn’t ask, she told me what “the oils were choosing for me and why” which was as close to a psychic reading as I had ever had. She kept “seeing” a house – later on to explain that I wanted it but something was making me run from the house I wanted and desired, and I needed to distance myself from whatever that was. It made me freaked out a bit cause me and my husband keep talking about building a house (modular) and we are going thru a very rough time in our marriage. Partly d/t us spending so much time with PCs and video games.. LOL
During my time away up there I had decided to focus on deciding where I was in that and if I really wanted to stay with him if we tend to fight 90% of time. SoOOoo
You can see now why I got emotional >). I told my husband about it and we had a long heart to heart about things and we have been MUCH better off since.
Wow, that’s pretty creepy with that lady. O.o That would freak me out too. But I’m glad to hear things have gotten better with your husband!!
