I could barely get through those leg lifts today and actually welcomed the first plank when they were over. The second and third planks were as painful as all the leg lifts! I’m really looking forward to just jumps tomorrow.
My night away was fine. I had prepared all meals and snacks except Saturday’s supper and I just ate what was available at the bridal shower... sushi, shrimp, raw veggies, quinoa salad, and a whole wheat pita. Definitely low on protein but it was only one meal so I wasn’t too stressed (although my stomach was a little off the next day). I abstained from alcohol and nobody cared, although I will say I didn’t really have a good time. I felt a little uptight and socially anxious in a room full of strangers. I don’t drink a lot but in that scenario (off PCP) I for sure would have used a glass of wine or two as social lubricant! What does that say about me?
I bowed out early – around 8:30 when everyone was headed to the bar. I went back to my best friend’s house and they had company so I made some herbal tea and we all sat up and talked until 1:30. It was after 2 before I got to sleep and even though I slept in until 9:15 I felt completely hung over the next day, like I’d been on a bender. I am usually in bed by 10 and I hate late nights. I was back on schedule last night though.
Looking forward to what’s in store for the upcoming week!
That's the thing you'll find at parties, everyone's too busy to worry about the fact you're not drinking or eating like usual. Dinner parties are much harder.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very successful - and mindful - trip. Amazing how sleep plays such a role in this training, isn't it? I'm so much more aware now of the repercussions of not getting enough sleep.
