I had a really good week this last week. I feel like I focused at work and at home; I was able to get most of my catching up at work done and I had some really good workouts.
My workout on Tuesday was difficult- Rachel had me doing some stuff I hadn't done in awhile and I felt humbled. I think I was starting to get a little cocky... Nothing that 30 second planks and bike crunches won't fix!
Thursday's workout was fun- Scott joined me after I did a run around the block. I made up a little circuit of weights and ab exercises for us to do. It was nice to have a partner and I think he had a good time. He increased the number of reps so we didn't have to change the weights on the barbell and he used a higher weight for the dumbbells. It really made the workout fly by!
Saturday's workout was the best! My lady friends got together for yoga and brunch. Rachel was our instructor and we were all crowded in the big front room at our hostess' house. It was really relaxing but of course she pushed us and I actually worked up a pretty decent sweat for yoga. The most exciting part was that I was able to hold Crow Pose for 5 seconds with absolutely no shaking. It was totally rad.
Eats were ok. I met up with some old school buddies on Wednesday and I had to fight my mind against a third drink. Alcohol is definitely one of my triggers- once I get going and I'm having a good time chatting it's really difficult for me to put a cap on it. And then I get snacky... But I stuck to my two beers and we split several apps so I didn't feel overly full.
This week will be a full one. I'm going to my last building to play catch up tomorrow and the rest of the week will be packed with finishing touches and cooking for my friend's co-ed wedding shower I'm co-hosting on Saturday. I'm also getting started on one of my 2012 goals on Thursday. Austin Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics kicks off their meetings on Thursday and one of my goals was to be more active this year.
