Wow! I'm already one third of the way through my personal 30 day challenge! And I just completed Day 2 of Zuzka's 30 Day Fitness Challenge! Holy shit. Three days of intense Zuzka work outs in a row. I'm kicking ass and taking names! Tomorrow is my active rest day, so I'll be walking on the treadmill and stretching or something.
Today I worked out in just a sports bra and shorts for the first time. I usually wear a tank top, but my bra strap came undone and I had to take off my tank top so I could fix it. Then I was like "fuck it, let's do this." It's cool to see fat giggling, but also to be able to see muscles underneath just getting ready to reveal themselves. My upper body looks amazing already. I'm looking forward to having a ripped up core. My legs are stellar.
So my goal, I've decided, is to lose 20 lbs of body fat. I want to weigh around 135, and tonight I weighed in at 157.8 I seem to hover around there, so I'm looking forward to trimming my diet down and watching the fat melt away. I can already feel my body getting stronger. Just imagine what a month of doing this Zuzka routine will bring about! An amazing, strong, athletic body that kicks ass and takes names!
Today was good. I thought it was going to suck, because I didn't get much sleep, and the morning felt so slow. But we got a nice lunch rush, and I made good tips. I got some things delivered to me that I needed, which saved me a trip across town through the snow and slush. I had a delicious Kevita drink (mango coconut is my favorite flavor). I got to taste the special today (Beer & Buckwheat Crepes with roasted beets and sweet potatoes, carmelized onion, wilted spinach, and balsamic-sherry reduction), which was delicious! Then I wasn't all that hungry for lunch, so I made a very petite salad. So cute! One of my co-worker's birthday is tomorrow, so we got to share a piece of really yummy cake that had raspberries, lychee, and was topped with a rose meringue. Wow, so tasty! The dish washer brought in Hershey's kisses for all of us, which were delicious. I sliced meat and listened to music in the morning. I listened to more good music as we cleaned up. Fed the fishies and wiped down tables. Made it to the bank, divvied up my dollars appropriately. I got home and immediately took Ollie out to the park, which was funny because whoever shoveled the sidewalks that go through the park piled up the snow so that Ollie couldn't get through to where the grass would be... and the snow was so thick that when he did make it through, he was basically swimming! It was hilarious to watch him just plow through it, face-planting at first (god, why is it so funny to see animals face-plant or slip or stumble?). Sweet thing, by the time we got home his paws were all muddy, so I had to put him in his crate so he could dry off. I took a nap. Woke up around 9. Watched my Zuzka video and ate some cottage cheese with half a peach. Balanced my check book. Let Ollie have a little play-date with my upstairs neighbor, who is in love with him. Got ready for the gym, Ollie came back just in time, and I took off! Had a great work out! Paused the video in-between sets (once to fix my bra, the second time to catch my breath and drink some water). Made it home, took a hot shower, and had a great dinner (2 eggs over easy, rosemary-garlic roasted red skinned potatoes, kidney beans, spring mix, Newman's Own creamy balsamic). Connected with an old friend, possibly making plans for next weekend. Now I'm feeling sleepy, ready to cuddle up with my puppy and drift away.
Love,
Adrienne
