totally fried on that one

This is Sara.

Damn! Annie, I should just give you my camera the next time we work out. Here I am all comfy on the couch and my camera is at work...again. I'll give it to you so that I don't keep sapping your motivation! Sorry for being a bum about it!!

As far as the rest, keep your spirits up. We are not even through the 2nd week yet and you are doing great with the goals. Your intake is good and you are busting your butt! That is exactly what we are supposed to be doing. You are totally on the mark. You are paying attention to your posture, your diet, your mind state, and your health. The rest will come.

For me, I completely crashed at RPM today! I've been waiting all week for that class and there I was all low-blood sugar and kicking myself. I thought I was going to pass out in mid stride...which would have been pretty dangerous given that my feet were strapped in so I could pull from the bend. All that momentum...I probably would have broken my leg. I never thought I would have problems eating enough and it is actually a pretty serious thing.

Once I settled down I went ahead and did my usual free weights, planks, abs, and lunges. I am also working on stretching more, as Annie and I found out the other day, she is twice as flexible as I am. I barely touch my toes without a burn. Then I promptly went home and filled my belly with some spinach-ricotta and chicken ravioli. Garlic, Herb, and Parmesan cheese with garlic oil for a sauce. And a glass of wine.

Today I ate a banana and an organic cheddar vege pot pie. 4 cups of coffee with Stevia for sweetness and organic half and half.

-oh yeah, the dreams. I forgot that I would talk about them. For the most part I sleep hard and sprawled out, spread eagle, and face down. (Sometimes I wake up on my belly with a pillow on my back...no clue how that happens.) But the dreams i remember are vivid and have been more positive than remember them being. In the way that the word "dreams" always makes me think of its meaning. That's a nice thing. My dreams are very sensitive to the things in my daily life, my emotions, my desires, anything I feel is missing, things I fear, etc. So when they are good, I take it as a nod.
