I can haz energy nao?

My decision (and mckitterick's counsel) not to set my alarm for Crossfit on Monday morning: Very Wise. By 1:30 I was nearly falling asleep at my desk. So, apparently I am Still Not Healthy. Suxxor. This morning I woke up at 6:00 and did some yoga. It's not quite 10:00am and I am already tired.

I'd like to make it to Crossfit on Wednesday, but I've given up the idea of making it to the Crossfit Lawrence party on Saturday night. I don't have it in me to fast all day Friday so I can perform at a Smoker Promo in KC, fast all day Saturday, perform at Smoker, and then go to a party. Ain't happening.

Fashion PSA for women who wear menswear: When considering the purchase of tie bars, make sure the motif does not have an orientation. Lady blouses button opposite of men's shirts and your tie bar's design will be upside down. Make sure it reads well from the bottom-up.

Holy shit Neil deGrasse Tyson was a hot young man. How funny that even a smarty-pants science guy succumbed to the pushed-biceps pose in high school.

I really want some coffee today. Really really really want some coffee.

Y U fast tired lady?

*shrug*

My body is tired. I don't always know the reason.

(She fasts on days she dances because OMG SWELLING if she eats.)

Seconding anomali:

Why are you planning on fasting on Friday/Saturday? Or does that go with the food regimen? Or do you just not eat on days when you perform?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I never know when I'm going to swell up like a balloon from eating--which happens (with some regularity) even when I'm eating 100% clean. So I fast on days I perform.

[carmy-w.livejournal.com]

Ah, now it makes sense. And I agree with your thinking, but that's gotta be pretty hard on your system, what with everything else going on. No food, no energy....

Luckily, insulin resistance is one thing I've never had to battle. I don't get mood or physical swings from low blood sugar, and fasting for 24 hours isn't a big deal for me. Kinda sucks having to do it two days in a row, but I'll survive with a good dose of protein and maybe a sweet potato when I get home on Friday night.

[carmy-w.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is lucky-I can maybe skip one meal, but that's it.
And I'm finding that if I overload on crap carbs, I get a sugar drop later on in the day (example-someone brought chicken & noodles to work, which I ate with a couple of slices of wheat bread with no butter, and some saltines. By the time I got home and started fixing supper, I could feel a sugar drop coming on-that weak, sort of feverish feeling-yuck!).

I can ENTIRELY UNDERSTAND why you don't want to go to a party afterwards, though! You're going to be seriously low on energy, and drinking on an empty stomach is never a good thing (assuming you were planning on drinking, of course!).

Party = Drinking for me. Yes. *g*

I'm sorry about the tired.

I'm glad you say that about the tie-bars. Either that, or wear a men's shirt.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

That's an option, but I don't like the way I look in men's shirts--unless it's the weekend and I'm curled up in one of mckitterick's oversize flannel or corduroy numbers. Which...sounds really great right now.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Mmmm.. flannel shirt. I don't think Jbird owns one.
Must fix that.

The shirt is another of our fitting opposites. I like me in mens shirts better than blouses, they are never wide enough in the shoulders.

For all our similar health problems, we have polar opposite body shapes.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

At least when it comes to the parts,
and yet, we are both spectacular!

That rear end just cracks me up.

Wow, I wouldn't have guessed NdGT would have looked like that as a young'un....
