The post about an upper body fail, an exciting email and fat, lots and lots of fat...

I'm a smoothie making goddess. Last night before I went to bed my stomach was rumbling and I thought I was starving. This morning I'm force feeding myself smoothie so I'll have a good workout at the gym. I'm just tired. Saturday can't come soon enough. Maybe I just need to know I can sleep in. I probably won't but knowing I can makes all the difference. I've another busy day in store. After the gym, some computer work and a drive out to Listowel. I think it's 2 hours away. I hope it's supposed to be sunny today. I need to open the sunroof and crank some tunes for that drive. But first, HIIT and upper body...

It's #coffeetime and I'm fucking spent. Twenty minutes of HIIT followed by an hour of upper body. I hate upper body. There I said it and I won't take it back. It's because I'm weak. If I had strong arms and chest muscles, I'd be all over working those muscle groups. That's why I love leg day. It's tiring and I get an awesome workout, but I never fail on leg day. I failed a couple times today. Hate, hate, hate when I can't do something. Went flat on my face doing push-ups and my arm just gave out doing bench presses. Thank God Tony was spotting me. It just came out of the blue.

I'm not seeing him again till next Thursday because I'm going to Montreal. I'll still have to train, but alone. I'm not gonna lie. The hotel I booked at has a fitness facility. It was the deciding factor on whether to book there or somewhere else. Although I'll be on vacation, there's never a vacation from working out. I'd love to go back to bed but I've way too much stuff to do today. Like work...

Let the shitting of thy pants commence. So I received this today. I'm excited and scared shitless at the same time. Making goals for myself that I find impossible to achieve are the best ones. That's how I felt when I registered for my first 1/2 marathon. And how I felt when I registered for my first full distance of the Around the Bay. Now I'm going to be training as a charity boxer.

The training schedule is grueling. I think I'm sore now? I need to just wait til December. But every time I doubt myself, I prove myself wrong. So I'm looking forward to pushing any doubts out of my head. I've got to up my training. Since I'll be out of upper body commission for a month following my surgery, I'm doing as much as I can now. So 2 more gym days per week are on the agenda. I only have to wait 2 weeks after the liposuction on my outer thighs. Thank God. Running and legs will be my priority till I can work on my arms, chest and back again. Tony has promised me beautiful guns after my upper arm lift. Can't wait!!!!

I spent 7 hours in my car today. My left hamstring is a fecken mess. It's been aching like the devil all day. I deserved major #winetime today. So I had 2 glasses:-) I made up for my calorie deficit yesterday. Ate tons today. And check out my carb count. That's a lot for me. And I'm a lying liar who lies. I was not more mindful of my fat intake today. I had the most fat that I've ever had since I started using My Fitness Pal. I had breakfast for lunch which included a 3 egg omelet and home fries. That's where all my fat came from. I don't normally eat white potato but there was no sweet potato alternative. I figured this one time wouldn't kill me. And I could have gotten tomato slices in place, but I was fecken hungry.

I am going to attempt to go to sleep now. It could be a bit of a struggle. Uncle John is here putting in my kitchen ceiling pot lights. I may run 7k in the morning, I may rest. So pot lights be damned!!! It's definitely bedtime for me. Sweet dreams...
