Supposedly it's for a more academic purpose, but I've always wanted to play the game competitively, so this should be a blast. Games will be Tuesday or Wednesday nights.
Coupled with my run, I should be burning a ton of calories.
I have plans to run with Anna tonight at night. I think we're gonna run by the pond. My hips are feeling 'nervy,' so we'll see how I do. I think this week I better get to a shoe store and get a GOOD pair of shoes. The assics were nice, but I just realized they're about 7 months old and have certainly gotten their use.
I don't think I can underscore enough how important it is to have a support for your health. Anna asked if we could eat tacos. I desperately want tacos, but we both have an understanding of how important eating well is. Sometimes we have to learn how not to step on each other's toes when it comes to this little project of mine (my weight loss, her utter healthfulness), but I would be at Taco Bell right now eating a cheesy bean and rice burrito thinking it has plenty of nutrients as long as I play badminton for 20 minutes twice a week* if she wasn't there to tell me what "nutrient-dense" means every once in awhile.
Hey Anna, here's one for you-- nutrient dense--adj. "when someone makes a poor decision regarding food out of ignorance or stupidity." e.g. "Nachos with extra sour cream? Don't be so nutrient dense!"
Zing? ha ha? damn that was bad... I blame Anna's father...
So tonight it's steamed veggies (we ate all the broccoli, oh noes! At least I know we eat it a lot, so there's a 'power food' that we can gobble up), brown rice, and garbonzo beans. That's a healthy-sounding dinner, so I'm pumped. That's right, I'm pumped. It may be a fallacy, but I love healthy dinners because it usually means I can eat a metric shit-ton without feeling too bad. I'm sure that's not 100% accurate, but I can eat just about anything for hours. I'm starving right now because I'm talking about it so much, I think.
We may yet get tacos. But if we eat, i'm sure we'll get less. I may have to do an impromptu inventory of my calorie consumption. Cuz if I go, man oh man, it won't be pretty lol.
Kind of tired. I felt like running in the middle of the day today but I thought I should wait to invite someone who I know I could drag along. Which is funny because 51% of the time I prefer to work out by myself. I'm wondering if I should have run anyway and then run again tonight? I don't want to kill myself/get hurt, so I think this is probably best.
Note to self--if the rec is still open when we run, I need to weigh myself.
I'm still so tired. I'm trying to get to bed before 1am. I think I may need to make it even earlier. Anna has a much later schedule than me, so I'm going to try not to bludgeon the alarm clock for a full hour from now on. This goes along with the "stepping on toes" thing, as sleep is definitely an integral part of health. I also think I'm recovering from the first day of school.
Okay, I've yakked enough, time for dinner. Stay tuned
