That was so sweet of your kids trying their hardest to make you a surprise. Do surprise cookies have calories? 
I've been warding off the carb crave all day. I can't let myself have one little pretzel without wanting to eat the whole minibag. What's up with that? |
Hey Pauline... I did finally eat one of the cookies - kinda banana-bread flavored - YUM! You would NOT be dying after my workout, as you are far from wimpy!!! I've got a LOT more pounds on my body than you do, which gives the ILLUSION of strength...
Carbs - you're like me... I'm better off eating none than a little bit of those delicious crunchy salty snacks. I can start off not-that-hungry and it leads to clearing out the cupboards if I get started

I wouldn't worry about your calories today since you mentioned that overall they end up okay......Just start tomorrow with buckling down again!  |
Buckling down today! Yes ma'am!!!

Hope your Mother's Day was happy, Byts.

How was your mother's day Sally? Seems like you survived your weekend pretty well...
I just figured out that I was supposed to do the HIIT after 3B anyway (d'oh!!!), but still... I dunno... I may do like Jane and end up cutting out early when this workout comes back in stage 5. I may also add some pushups or SOMETHING to increase it a bit for now... or at least add more reps on stuff like the 1-leg squats where I can't increase weight.

Last Thursday, the instructor was demonstrating a point about a self-defense move we were working on and he showed how the correct arm position could lead into a lot of other stuff, including a take-down that he demonstrated. Everyone in the class was in awe and I know we were all thinking I want to learn that! He said we will learn it later on. 
Your Mother's Day sounds wonderful, especially the clean-up after the cookies part! |
I couldn't believe the kids cleaned up... although we did still find some evidence of their cooking

I love self-defense. I help teach our women's self defense classes and get used (abused) by sensei. Adding a pic from this weekend's open house (the only one I have, not a great shot) of Sensei lifting me up off the ground in a "bear hug" attack. I don't have pics of the ground attacks, so this is the best I can do for now. My arms have bruises from him slamming into me... but at the end of this one, I threw him, so it's all good
