Challenge, Set, Match!

Busy, busy, Dodgie bee!

Today was all Derbalife and league homework! I evaluated all of the fresh meat, replied to a million emails, have a profile to do in an hour, and am TIRED AS FUCK! Yes, I said it. I am also DESPERATE for a night out. I know I'm going out tomorrow, but for the first time in God-knows-how-long, I feel like getting wasted and dancing. And, trust me, I can not, and do not, dance well. Unless it's Irish dancing. But I have to be proper drunk for that. I think I just need to get off the couch and out of my head. Blergh.

You know, it has been a really good day. I'm going to flash back to Midnight Fury's point about taking note of the positives. Everything I did today was great, and for a good purpose, I am just really drained.

Step was not really hard today, so I did some weights, too. Tomorrow is the second SSRG bout of the season, and my first day at my new job! Hooray! Up suuuuuper early, and home suuuuper late. Aw poop. But hooray!

Food Log
7:00 Shake: Herbalife Formula 1 Berry with berries and rice milk; apple
10:30 Half a carrot, small serving frozen corn
12:00 Shake: Formula 1 Berry with berries and half an apple in rice milk - fyi, not a great idea
3:00 Doritos (flavourless, snackie, my house is practically devoid of food right now, especially of the gluten and dairy free variety)
6:30 Dinner - ??? Probably a glass of wine. Might as well curb the urge, without giving in completely!

Slackar!

Oh, how busy I have been!

This week has been filled with Derbalife joy, getting people registered and ready for the first ever Skate Faster Challenge in Australia! I've also been out job hunting, and scored one back at my place, Nude Cafe, only now I'm in Cotton Tree - which means I can skate to work! BOOM!

Mumma's Back!

Oh Gracious!

Shocking!! Two days off of a whole month! Ridiculous!!!!!

So, what have I done for a month? Well, I spent the first two weeks in LA – but you knew about that. It went like this: sleep, shop, Herbalife, roller derby, drinking, after-party, star-struck, roller derby, Herbalife, Venice Beach, lion cats, Hollywood, shopping, roller derby, roller derby, swooning, roller derby, drinking, roller derby, roller derby, full-body pain, Venice Beach, airport, sadness, sleeping.

Coming home looked pretty similar. Sleeping, sickness, roller derby, sickness, Herbalife, sleeping, roller derby, sickness, roller derby, laptops, and Derbalife ass-kicking!!

With all of that Herbalife and sickness, I've been relatively slack with my own routine. I sick-ate crap, interspersed with Herbalife for sure, but I could have been a lot better behaved! And the sickness kept me out of the gym all week. But I'm feeling much better now, and what better way to celebrate than with a Spin class! My first ever! And man, was it nasty! Not as bad as I thought. Actually, I think the more I go, the more I will enjoy it. Mainly because I can be competitive there with others, and myself. Hehehe!

Today I started to advertise for the Derbalife Australia challenge. It's all happening, baybeee! I'm so excited. It's going to all come together like magic... YAAAAY!!!

Sorry I left you high and dry, blogettes. I promise to be back online from now on. It is amazing what a difference being accountable makes you – no food log = eating shit, that is a fact!

The Final Countdown!

Hiiiiiii bloggettes!

Wow. Wow wow wow. Tuesday is GET ORGANISED DAY. Lists were made and crossed off. I packed and weighed my luggage and I have THIRTEEN spare kilos! I'm a legend! Hehehe. I'm like 80% ready to go, FRAK YEAH!

I foolishly challenged Tara Armov, the red-headed Queen of the Banked Track, notoriously the loudest person in roller derby history, to a Heckle-Off at LA v GGRD. I didn't really mean it, but it's out & all over facebook now and I'm going to call Derby Deeds this arvo and have a go at sledging ;-). Honestly I only called her out because I want to meet her! Hehe!

I went to BCR scrim and had a little tantie. It wasn't really a tantie. I just jammer really badly and I did, to be fair, chuck it when I got sent to the bin for a Blocking To The Head major (on Bandsaw, totally unintentional, she leads with her head!) then upon returning to the track I got smacked in the head twice and nothing was called. And the Head Ref came over to tell me that when I asked him who I hit in the head, he would have called Insubordination if it was a bout not a scrim, because I should have got a captain to question it, even though I was alternate. Grrr. So I chucked it. But if I was a smarter girl I would be celebrating my first scrim back in four months, AND that they kept asking me to pivot because I was doing a bloody good job of it! Talking, pushing, and wailing on jammers in the back of the pack seems to be my specialty!

Food Log:
7:30 Shake
9:30 2 pieces of rye w pb
12:00 Spicy beans with chicken
3:30 Protein bar
5:30 Protein bar (I got caught out!)
10:00 Large choc sundae from Macca's with a flake - because I spat the dummy at scrim!

Workout:
1 hour Body Balance
Running around like a madwoman all day
1 hour scrim, 40ish minutes training

Four Sleeps To Go!

Wow! Great day! I went for my first outdoor skate since my accident today. I was a little shaky to start with, but I remembered Entropy telling me about how it was a freak accident, and I'm a good skater so I will be fine. And as soon as I realised it, I was hopping and jumping and skipping and squatting and soaking up the gorgeous day! Delicious!

I hung out with a friend I haven't seen in ages, too. We went and saw Gnomeo and Juliet. It was cute, but not amazeballs awesome. I liked it because I'm a big nerdy Shakespearian and dug the references.

THEN I had a good ol' chat with my mumma and got all of my 'paperwork' in order and made day-tackling lists for tomorrow. How exciting!


Food Log:
7:00 Pre-Workout: Rye toast w pb
10:00 Breakfast: Shake - Formula 1, protein, milk, half a banana, 2 apricots
11:30 Snack: Watermelon & almonds
12:30 Cinemas: Popcorn
3:30 Lunch: Shake - formula 1, protein, milk, watermelon, passionfruit, peaches
6:30 Dinner: Grilled chicken, chili beans and oven-baked wedges
9:00 Hot chocolate (made on the stove, mmmmm)

Workout:
Skate to and from gym. My absolute heaviest weights, 6-12 reps depending on fatigue
•Seated Row and 7's (21's, whatever)
•Chest Press & Flies
•Shoulder Press & Stability Ball Planks
•Tricep Cable Pull-Overs & Hanging Crunches

I'm pretty sure I did other stuff, but I can't remember now! My arms are sore from the heavy lifts. And I spent half an hour on the massage chairs. Bliss!

Off to sleep, busy day tomorrow! Starting it off right with Body Balance, calm the mind before FREAKING IT OUT!
