Hey there!
I'm back! Phew! I totally had to laugh when I saw that poor Kate's Sunday entry didn't even get a response! What's going on this weekend?! The post only got 8 views! That's shameful!! x(
D)
Well, my trip went smoothly. And I was able to do very well with my eating - it was a near miracle. One day I was walking down the street and of all the wacky things being handed out for a promotional stint - free ice cream bars! I turned them down. I actually turned them down ! Something must be wrong with me.
Anyway, I've read up on the posts I missed and feel better now . I still have to do my workout today...I've just checked - it's Bootcamp again.
Dana - Yes, of course I did eat the sticky rice that came as a dessert with my cheat meal before my trip! Thank goodness it was a designated cheat meal or I would have had to pass. The cheat meal was Chinese food - except this particular restaurant is sort of like organic healthy Chinese food, so it was a relatively healthy cheat (so sorry to disappoint ;-)). Nevertheless, it was yu-hu-hummy! Hey, did you start up on your BFL? I'm interested to hear how the program goes! I wonder if it is similar at all to BFFM?
Michele - Yeah, I thought about skipping the weekly measurements, but oh, what the heck. I'm going to take them tomorrow morning and just not hope for anything too pretty. I'm having a really bad TTOM, too, I'm not sure why. Too much bloating sticky rice x( ?
Oh and you know, the real word for this sticky rice thing I keep eating is actually called "mochi." Come to think of it, it's probably widely available in the States now, so I should just have said "mochi" from the start. There is such a thing as sticky rice, but it's a bit different from mochi. I think sticky rice is made with coconut milk. Mochi is just smushed up white rice (like the kind of grain of rice that would be in sushi, but without the vinegar). You smush smush smush this rice until it becomes a smooth ball, and then you add toppings (like the sweet bean paste I had mine with). But with the toppings it's goopy and sweet.
Ahh, more mind-boggling, inspirational fodder from August. :-(
Anyway, Michele - according to BFFM, losing a pound or so a week is just right. Much more and you're likely losing muscle or water weight. So it sounds like you're doing great!
Janjan - 3 months of no lower body weights, eh? Well, that sucks. But just think how awesome you can get your upper body! What with summer coming up, you'll be able to flash your sexy biceps!
MJ - Bleacher cardio. That sounds like something you'd need good coordination for.
All right, I guess I'll unpack and clean up and do BC before I lose my gumption.
Be ready to comfort me after I post my next weekly body fat reading.
