What a week and it’s only Tuesday!
Yesterday I had my first driving lesson with a “driving professional”, I’m trying to get this drivers license party on the road (no pun intended). Just in case you were curious about my driving progress. I found myself terrified and on the verge of tears (stupid anxiety), but the instructor was sweet and very calm so I got myself together in the end sans the tears! Yay me!
Dietbet update: I have been stuck at 284.4 lbs for awhile and I’m hoping I can break it this week. One thing I know for sure is my water intake needs to be so much higher. When I drink water, the weight comes down, when I stop I get stuck. I’ve been aiming to drink around 140 oz of water a day and I am so tired of peeing all the time, especially at work! While I know drinking this amount of water is not only necessary but healthy, I can’t help but whine about the inconvenience of constantly running to the toilet. I’m about to set up my desk in the bathroom if you know what I mean.
Todays workout was brutal, it was hot as hell in the gym and I was sweating like I had ran a marathon just walking to put my stuff up before even warming up. I had to do 2 new exercises today, Cowboy Squats and something else I have no idea what it’s called but it involved me laying on my back, sticking my feet in stirrups and lifting my booty off the ground. It sounds dirtier than it was, but I couldn’t help but laugh because I’m immature like that (boy did it activate those Glutes though!). Cowboy Squats are an invention from Hell, like one day some guy was like “lets make squats harder!” (I’m assuming he was a cowboy?) um, lets not shall we. A Cowboy Squat unlike a regular Squat, involves holding a medicine ball over your head, squatting as low as you can with it and then jumping up. And since you’re holding a 10+ lb medicine ball over your head you can’t really use your arms to help you jump, so it’s a full body workout baby! Doing all kinds of good to get my flabby self in shape!
Step 1) Squat. Step 2) Die. I look like I’m flying in that second picture haha!
Oh and something funny happened today, I guess non-sneakiness (for lack of a better word) runs in the family because today our boxer mix Tammy got into a bag of candy from Easter and I came home to find all the incriminating evidence still all over the floor. Wrappers were everywhere! A little while later after a thorough talking too and being sent to the kennel, when she though the coast was clear, she tried to sneak a candy bar she had been hiding and got caught red handed (er, pawed?). Just like her mama she can’t get away with anything!
The guilty party. Clearly ashamed of her actions (or ashamed she got caught!)
Now it’s time for a little Netflix and then bed!
