After greatly reducing my caffeine intake over the past several weeks, I had a bit of a mini-binge yesterday without even thinking. Iced coffee from McD’s in the a.m., a bottle of diet dew mid-day and then a tall coffee light frappuccino in the afternoon. Well, I’ll be damned if I wasn’t awake until 2 fucking a.m. OMG. Yes, it’s my own fault … but it still really really sucked!!!

I worked out again today and it was the first time I remember feeling strong. I was doing all sorts of shit, mostly involving the bosu ball (I think because Kara the trainer knows I hate it!) … like kneeling on it, with my hands on the mat and doing push-ups; kneeling on it and doing bicep curls while also trying to lift my toes off the floor behind me … basically I was kneeling on that thing half of the hour I worked out. UGH. The hardest things, though, were … well, I don’t even know what they’re called. I was on the mat on my stomach and lifted up my legs behind me. Then using the palms of my hands, I pushed my upper body upwards, keeping my elbows as close to my body as possible. Totally felt that in the triceps. These weight-bearing exercises are a bitch. I was literally dripping sweat onto the mat. I thought that was gross but Kara was excited ha ha.

I decided on a title for my blogaversary post … but that’s about it. Maybe this weekend I’ll do a video post. Oooh la la!

And now I’m going to bed. 10:16 p.m. and I’m ready to drop …
