So Random

Posted by keyalus in Fitness, Fun on 02 3rd, 2010 | 2 responses
  • I have an irrational fear of my exercise ball now.  At the end of my pregnancy that was the only seat in the house I found comfortable so I spent a lot of time bouncing on it.  An exercise ball suddenly becomes a “birthing ball” when you are in labor.  When my water broke that Saturday morning, I remember sitting on the ball at the end of my couch rolling back and forth in extreme pain.  All of this to say that I am very hesitant now to do any videos using the ball.  It just takes me back to a place that I don’t want to be anytime soon.
  • I missed my long run on Sunday morning.  I really meant to get out there but Lewis slept really poorly for a stretch and that means that I slept poorly too.  I didn’t wake up until nearly 10AM after The Mister took over baby duty.  I was actually looking forward to running…which is a great thing.
  • I was randomly watching The.Brian.McKnight.Show (longtime fan of his music but comes across so phony on camera!) last weekend and Tatyana Ali was a guest.  I started reminiscing and pulled out her Kiss The Sky CD (yeah I bought it LOL).  Remember this song?
  • There is another season of High School Reunion on TVLand now.  My DVR started recording it because otherwise I’d have had no idea it was on.  I love this show.  It really goes to show that most people never change…no matter how much they think they do.  The nerd back in the day still craves validation from the popular people.  It is amazing.
  • I’m only halfway through last night’s LOST premiere.  I will cut anyone who spoils it for me.
  • CrossFit bootcamp was awesome this morning.  I gave it my all especially during the Helen workout.  Three rounds of a short 200m sprint (more like a jog LOL), 21 kettlebell swings with 25# and 12 band pullups.  My time was 8:38 and for once I was not the last one to finish!
  • My major diet struggle is wanting dessert every day.  Dessert can be a 100-calorie pack but I still want it.  Fruit alone is just not a dessert to me (unless it is floating in sugar and butter and covered in pie crust).
  • Monday I had a fruit rollup for “dessert”.  Tuesday I did not have dessert.  I didn’t really want it.  I wonder if that means I’m getting better?

    you had a busy week! I did not know Brian had a talk show! I won’t spoil the LOST premiere…I’m still trying to process it anyways. we must rehash when you’ve finished watching the episode. good for you on passing over dessert on Tuesday. it means your body is losing it’s cravings for sugars. proud of you!

    I don’t know if I’ll ever lose the craving for dessert…mentally at least!

    OMG, I am soooo clowning you…Tatiana Ali?!? How dare you have that CD??! Girl, I’m ashamed to call you my sista in training. LOL!

    I hear you on dessert, I feel the need to have it every day too. I just think the day isn’t complete without it. I’m so proud you got through with only a fruit rollup. You deserve kudos for that.

    Anyway, thanks for your post about the speed thing. I was taking it too far and as a result, my body was not well. Today I took your advice (I tried to give you credit for it but I couldn’t figure out how to add a hidden link to you site in the post. So I’m adding you on my blog roll.) It was a much better workout. THANKS FOR YOUR WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT!!!

    Hope you enjoy your next workout. And PS the little one is just TOOOOO adorable.

    LOL! Daydreamin’ was a catchy song.
