Day 91/11

Hey! How cute! Day 91, or 11, is also 1/1/11. Awesome.

Happy new year! Mine was supremely uneventful. I watched Singin' In The Rain for the first time and was in bed by 10:30. Today I'm feeling completely wasted, like written off. I'm getting a bit over the whole business. I ate a lot today and didn't work out. I think I'm a little disillusioned at the moment. It could also just be my body trying to heal that's exhausting me. But tomorrow's a new day so I will throw myself right back in to it. Phone calls will be made to the fabulous Fury should I sink any further. My parents will be home tomorrow. And the derby wives are coming round. There'll be drinking but I'll try and eat smart, plus the work out. I'm getting a little impatient about taking off my boot. It would make cycling so much easier, and walking, and I could start physio.

"Slipping" seems to be a bit of a theme this week. The Roller Derby Workout Challenge starts in a few days. I would like to utilise it to find friends in LA, and possibly having others on the same quest will help. I've been eating fairly well, just a little snack-heavy, or dessert-heavy the past few days. All of it's involved having friends here, so of course I'm going to relax, it's celebratory.

That being said! I watched an incredible Nike clip on fb this week that carried the theme "No More Excuses". I think it's a wonderful idea for a new years resolution. My friend thinks it carries negative connotations instead of positive ones, which I think is an important point. I've not locked on to the full commitment of, say, Queen Elizabitch and Frida Beater, which I attribute to my injury. It is around that time of the month when I slack off every month, y'know, so I am not beating myself up about it. Again, my focus should be on strength. And to find strength, sometimes I must embrace my weaknesses.

This is what I've eaten:
•Museli
•Pb + rye
•Apple
•Quinoa tabouli
•Falafel
•Cheese + crackers
•Pb + rye
•Quinoa from the other day w a tin of tuna
•Diet coke

So, really, it's not been bad food, just a lot of it. I took the dog for a walk, so that was exercise-ie, and I think is also why I'm so beat the past two days. A work out at home is quite different to a real walk outdoors!

I just want to be better now. It's that home stretch thing I said I wouldn't get. Hehe, I should really know myself better by now.
