What happened to the weekend?

Got up about this morning, weight = 143.5, and pretty much started doing "stuff".  I didn't feel like swimming so I didn't.  Maybe it was the weather.  Maybe it was because I wasn't quite ready to go at 6:45.  But I was determined that I wasn't going to end up wasting the day away.  So about 7:45am Clancy and I headed out for a 3.5 mile run.  Then I did my kettlebell burn workout (and burn it did - see below).  Then to the farmers market.  Then some breakfast and cooking.  Then mani/pedi.  Then lunch.  Then rug shopping and grocery shopping.  Then mowing the lawn.  Then finally dinner.  The laundry is still going.  Ugh.  How does anyone ever get everything done?

I had a bit of a revelation this morning while Clancy and I were out for our run.  I was feeling pretty good about being 143.5 when I got up this morning.  I ate well yesterday, exercised alot and drank lots and lots of water.  So I felt like it was a good 143.5 - not dehydrated or in huge food debt.  But while we were running, something in my head kept repeating "but 143.5 is soooo far from the 137 you want to be".  And it made me wonder whether I felt so good last spring because I was losing weight or whether I was losing weight because I felt so good.  Why the focus on the negative?  Why not just say "yes, you are doing the right stuff and it's working slowly but surely"?

I also realised during my run that running is my meditation.  So I guess if you call Josue my "psychological help" and call Tracy's workouts "entertainment", maybe I am doing the real kettlebell burn afterall.

And I realized I need to use my roller stick more often, particularly on my calves....

So hears how the KB Burn workout (B) went today:

• Presses - 11 ladders of 1-2-3 R/L plus 4 extra presses.  #1 and #6 were with the 16kg, others were with the 12kg.  The 4 extra presses were where ladder #11 would have been but I didn't have the full ladder in me (did 1-1-1-1 instead). 
• Getup situps and reverse lunges - 6 or 7 rounds with the 12 kg. 
• Swings - 10 minutes of :30/:30 with the 16kg.

Meals:

• M1 = berry shake
• M2 = brussel sprouts and cauliflower omelette, 4 strawberries
• M3 = cabbage stir-fry with beans and asparagus, root veggies, 1/2 apple, "mostly oatmeal cookie"
• M4 = munchies while shopping at Whole Foods, part of a Myoplex bar
• M5 = salad with chicken/bs&c/snap peas, 1/2 apple

Non-meals - a few "tastes" of almond butter and peanut butter, a few (4) butterscotch candies.
