Squat

[clevermanka]

This morning I moved to the Second Stage Flow in the FlowFit regimen. I performed all six movements, plus the squats in between, three times. That's it. Three times. I was doing the movements of the First Stage Flow fifteen times. My legs simply wouldn't support me for more than three sets this morning. I was wobbly doing my post-workout stretches. Pathetic. It's going to be a while before I'm ready for Third Stage. I'm once again running the Wescoe stairs several times a day as a way to rebuild my leg strength.

I'm also resuming lower-carb eating for the time being. No grains or high-sugar fruit, and I'm cutting back on the alcohol to one drink a day.

*sigh*

Fucked up, slow metabolism for the win.

GO, Team You. Leveling up is an awesome thing.
::applause::

Thanks. That's a really good way to think about it. Leveling up. Thinking I'm going to be even half as good at the higher level as I was at the previous one is just silly.

Ah but can it be a big drink?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

As long as it's water, yes. =b

[jimmy-hollaman.livejournal.com]

you know i have heard if you drink to much water it can have a alcoholic effect on you....

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

In that too much water can kill you (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication) as can too much booze? Yeah, except one is called alcohol poisoning and the other is generally known as drowning.

(yes, yes, I know. "water intoxication"--but it was funnier as I stated it above)

You rock, you know. Like a Hurricane.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Hurricanes probably have stronger legs.

Not in the middle. It's peaceful in the middle.

Go you! Good for you for taking care of yourself, and for stepping things up a notch!

Meanwhile, I am maintaining my belly...for strategic shimmy purposes...right...for T. to grab onto and laugh...that's closer to the truth... ;)

Oh, dude. You tell him he keeps that up, I'm gonna give him such a smack next time I see him! You just got done carrying another human being around in your body. No grabbing and laughing allowed. Hmph!!!

[theoneinblue.livejournal.com]

OH, oh, it's not malicious...he says (without prompting) overall he thinks I've gained in attractiveness rather than lost anything...he just finds it amusing, I think, because it's so different from when he first met me...

[theoneinblue.livejournal.com]

It's just that same difference that gets to me sometimes. :P

Again, I say, go you and your work to better yourself!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Awwwww. Well, ok, I won't lay the smackdown on him then.

[theoneinblue.livejournal.com]

It was sweet of you to volunteer to, in case of maliciousness... :)

I get wobbly just reading you. Can I borrow a cup of will power?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

=D If I could bottle it, I certainly would give you some.
