I feel really really good right now. I am sore as shit. If I stand up straight my abs burrrn but I keep trying to cause I know that's good. Okay and here's the best part. While you're enjoying your Valentine's Day eating bar food and drinking (probably) beer, I just walked 3 miles. I didn't go to the gym today and wasn't planning to do any exercise at all but when I went to get on the subway there were no Uptown trains like the station was closed off so I was gonna walk ten blocks to the next one but just decided to pass that, then thought I'd go to the next one, but pasted that then just decided to go all the way. I think Columbia students get a Vespa included in their tuition. So I hopstopped how far it is from my work to my home and it said 2.4 miles... but I walked more than that. I walked two avenues and let me count...44 blocks. So I guess there is 20 blocks in a mile. But I had to go to a bodega so I walked an extra 4 blocks there and then I went down the wrong street like I always do for some reason so theres another...um... I REALLY can't do math... I'm taking a math pedagogy class right now and have learned that I'm barely on a kindergarten level of math...3 blocks...and then UPHILL by the by to my place another 4. So that's um........55 blocks. And two avenues. So that's 57 blocks! So that's how many miles omg I'll never be able to do that math. Just about 3 miles! You feel so bad about yourself right. Katie, how could you?
So like I said I'm sore as fuck but I feel really good. I feel smarter! Like I feel more alert it's crazy. Agh I lost the wireless signal I had been getting so I have to stand up while I type this cause my ethernet cable isn't long enough that I can sit down anyplace. Oh okay what I ate today:
Before work:
- Bag of organic brown rice
- 3 of those chicken tenders
- Dunkin Donuts (I passed it while walking to the next subway stop passed my closest one to get some kid of exercise in..... oh yea! I forgot I did that! That's more blocks! I walked...... 65 blocks!) large iced toasted almond iced coffee with skim milk and ONE sugar.... yummmmm
During work:
- Chicken burger from Better Burger (all natural lean... it's a snooty health food burger place... obviously I was on the Upper West Side)
- A salad with mixed greens, carrots, cucumbers, onions and ONE tablespoon of balsamic vinigrette! And it still felt like real food!
- Air baked french fries (they're not really fried)
I didn't have the valentine thing they gave me. It was one of those sugar packets that you dip in with this stick into the sugar. I passed on candy! You just want to die, this is killing you. I'm awesome.
About the abs burning--- tomorrow, when you're walking around, try to flex your ab muscles as often as possible for 15 secs or so. It's easier to do after you've had sore muscles bc you can feel them and flex them easier. I tried to do it the other day, but it didn't work bc I hadn't done abs in a while. It's like doing cruches w/o lying down. Sounds weird, but try it. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd great job on the walking everywhere! You're doing freaking awesome.
