Weird isn't it - seems like a lot of us had 'za! Next time we all should get together and have a party
Despite the 'za and wings, I was within my cals for the day - again, since I hardly ate all day, it wasn't THAT hard. Although I coulda had 3 more slices and been "happy" - but weighing helps, since I can't rationalize that it was a small piece or that one more won't REALLY matter... I stopped after my 1 slice and my 4 wings. Evening snack was tuna and an apple to bring my macros and nutrients back into acceptable range.

I love watching her play... I don't make every game, but I try. I just want her to be fit and strong and healthy and happy. She was scared of being cut this year, but now that she's had a taste of being varsity and accepted by those girls, she REALLY wants to make varsity for the year. I want her to make it too. She's good enough, but not gonna be a starter (I try to be as objective as possible). The problem is that there are about 25 girls who are good enough, and coach won't roster more than 18-20 on varsity. So 5 "good enough" kids will still be on jv. Nothing I can do but watch and try to support her... But it'd sure be nice NOT to start the season with tears and drama...
I wasn't real athletic, but I was very into horses and riding... I had to muck stalls and work in the barn in exchange for a discount on board for my horse (it was always on a shoestring, but I loved it) - kept me in great shape all through hs. Explains part of my college weight gain - bad nutrition and no more riding and mucking...

The bugg (check out bodybugg.com) is specifically designed to measure calories burned. It has 4 or 5 different sensors and measures movement, heat, sweat, etc... It's 92% accurate compared to lab metabolic tests, according to the website. Not waterproof so you can't swim or shower with it, but designed to be worn 24/7 except in the water (I take it off to sleep too). It gives cool graphs of cals burned every minute of the day, so you REALLY see how NEAT and exercise and sitting on the couch affect your total burn.

Congrats to DD, I'm sure she was thrilled by the day and that you were there to see it. Very cool! |
Thanks Jes!
I had pictures of not only losing the Bugg to a muddy puddle (costly problem if I did), but of Sensei KILLING me for wearing it and making a spectacle of myself in front of a crowd of potential students. We're supposed to remove ALL jewelry, etc etc... I still want to wear it to class (dying to see what my burn is!), but now I know to REALLY tighten that strap!
Today: plan is to do 5A workout 4 (puts me on track to start stage 6 next week - WHOOOT!)... karate later, unless I'm stuck with DD cuz the car she drives is in the shop and I have to go argue with them about who is responsible for the cost of the repairs... long story but I think they (dealer) should cover the cost. We'll see.
Forgot my lunch today - brought snacks, but no main "entree". I think I can make do with my snacks and stashed food - maybe tuna, crackers and an apple for lunch, snack on almonds and string cheese?
