What I'm Reading This Week #14
Annnnd we're revving into Friday. source I must start with a teary goodbye to Val Kilmer. No lie, three days before he passed I got the song " How Silly Can You Get " from the movie Top Secret in my head out of nowhere. I hadn't seen a reference, heard anything about him and definitely hadn't heard that song in 20+ years. I said to the Mr "I wonder how Val is doing?" then I soon got my answer. I remember seeing Top Secret at the drive in with Mom when it came out. When Real Genius came out on HBO, it was one of the few movies my Dad and I bonded over, is in my top five movies of all time and is the Mr and I's love language after I make him king of the winter carnival. source Anyone who followed Val's career and personal life over the decades knows he got a little out of the box and didn't settle for norms which also included his approach to his throat cancer. He lived authentically himself which is something we all hope to say when o...
Ouch! {{Hugs}}
ReplyDeleteThe up bounces are irritating, but you know a down bounce is coming! Hang on for it!
The really irritating part is my calories averaged EXACTLY what they averaged the past 3 weeks when I had losses so the whole "calories in vs calories out" is BS!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe did a 'hell week' this week and I'm terribly sore and inflamed (I had to soak in an epsom salt bath this morning and I'm going to need to pop ibuprofen to function today) I think burning 5000 calories is pretty freakin' good. Grrrrrrrrr
Maybe you're up two because of the inflamed muscles? I know sore muscles will definitely retain fluid. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteSUCKS
ReplyDelete(oh, I know this is where I should write something positive but damn, that just sucks! Sorry.)
I hate that!!!!! F this week!
ReplyDeleteDISLIKE!
ReplyDeleteSorry. :(
Eff the scale! You know how hard you worked and what you ate. It won't stick around. *HUGS*
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% with all the f the weeks.
ReplyDeleteI am catching up...honestly the one with your hawaii skirt had me laughing my dh thought I'd lost my mind...and while I couldn't eat the eggs I have to admit they were adorable...and look like I could actually pull off making them myself. Have a good weekend.
Sorry.
ReplyDeleteUgh, that sucks. I'm sorry!
ReplyDeletekick that scales butt!!! sometimes it is our friend, sometimes our worst enemy.... teach it a lesson next week!!! You are rockin it and some tiny bit of metal can't take you down!!!
ReplyDeleteque Rocky music...
I'm not gonna offer any suggestions...you've been at this game longer than me and know your body better than any of us.
ReplyDeleteHope the scale reflects your hard work next week!
On Saturday mornings I always love pulling up your blog on my phone to see how things went! You're an inspiration even on tough weeks.
ReplyDeleteYou're really the pro here, but one thing that jumped in my mind when you mentioned how sore your muscles are was whether you refuel right after a workout? Chocolate milk has gotten a lot of hype recently for its ideal protein/carb ratio - I've tried it a lot in the past few months after particularly long/fast/brutal runs...and I do think it's helped my muscles recover better.
Possibly worth a shot if you don't do this already? Wouldn't necessarily be a calorie addition - just swapping something else out for an additional ~150-200 recovery calories post workout?
