Hurts and Healing

This was week 1 of the new workout plan thanks to Coach Doobz and I must ask... HOW DID I MAKE HIM MAD, AND HOW CAN I FIX IT!?!?! LOL...Just kidding. Turns out (according to him) if your trainer ISNT pushing you, then they don't like you. If they DO like you, then they push you because they want you to be successful. Well, I can tell you for sure: compass lunges are evil!! I could only do 1 set of 8! Also my abs are WEAK! I was able to do 4 workouts (2 cardio, 2 weights/abs), so i feel good about my committment... tho i may buy somore more workout pants with pockets. Anyway, his coaching is solid. He sent the workouts as well as videos of each so that I know what I'm doing (and don't have to look them up myself and wonder if I'm doing it wrong). His weekly check ins are low-key, and he doesn't berate me for not being in better shape already. After all... that's why I need him, right??? Its also kinda nice to be able to check in with him weekly since i havent seen him much since college. If you'd like to get in shape with a trainer who knows what he's doing, I highly recommend him. Just let me know and ill get you his info. 😁 I have a gym buddy who is helping to cheer me on, which is also nice. I'm gonna do this! I'm gonna be in good shape for Italy next year! I just need to get thru the awkward OUCH couple of weeks when my quads are on fire and I'm walking funny. Thankfully, I've got the weekend to recover.

J (the fella) and I had a lovely weekend. We started hanging out at his place, then went to Costco for some things (workout shoes for me, guess my old ones were just too old), and ended up wandering around a mall until his nephew was ready for lunch. We ended up in an arcade where he showed off his shooting skills (impressive) and i whooped his butt at air hockey (7-1... and he used to be a goalie 🤷🏼‍♀️). We met his nephew (this one is military, at home on leave) at Lazy Dog (a good brewhouse) and then went to movie trading company before heading back to his place to wait for the traffic to die down before heading to mine. We picked 2 more movies to see who can pick the worse one. Not sure what we'll make the loser (winner ?) do yet. Probably buy dinner. That seems to be our MO. 

I didn't buy it, but I like this hat 😁

Lunch was Korean Ribeye Bibibap.

The bestest kitty ever in his castle.

We ended up watching Harry Potter, ordering pizza (with wings and salad), and making fun of the premise of the movies. Hehe. 

Mama's pizza 😁 I ordered it wrong. Toppings on only half of the pizza. 🤦🏼‍♀️

It's been a lovely, lazy day. Tomorrow is grocery shopping... tho I may decide to live off leftovers instead of going shopping. I don't wanna!!! Hehehe.

So, that's that. Life is good. Liquor and cheesecake are better 😉 much love, friends!!!
