Thanks. I used to be alright at it. I sucked tonight, but I could tell that it's still in there. Just need to find it. I still beat ipreferpi though :) barely. Best part was the beer after. There is nothing like earning your beer.
By MyFitnessPal's calculations, I earn roughly 21 amstels a day. Not that it does me any good. Today, for whatever reason, was rough. Took three 20oz bottles of water and 2 18oz bottles of gatorade (which I never drink) to feel normal again. Wasn't even that hot. I'm concerned that my beer-and-a-half was enough to dehydrate the hell out of me, which doesn't really jive with the fact that according to BMI, I need to lose 23 lbs to not be "overweight." Of course, by BMI I was only 3 lbs underweight when I was full-on shitting-blood concentration-camp-victim thin. Learned today that BMI calcs were developed by a statistician in 1832 based on the measurements of 900 Belgians. He determined that the average man weighs 47kg.
I find coconut water, even though it tastes horrible, has helped me recover very quickly from a variety of things one of which being binge drinking far more than a beer and a half. The trick is just not throwing it back up but it might help you out a bit.
There's a big disadvantage to coconut water in that it isn't here. There's a big advantage to gatorade in that there are literally pallets full of it. I actually add electrolytes to my water but yesterday and today were just kicking my ass. I feel as if my performance is actually degrading over time, and the more I focus on nutrition the harder my ass gets kicked. It's frustrating.
Ah ya, truth be told the only reason I tried coconut water the first time was because it was right in front of me while I was getting coffee. I had been up all night finishing my portion of a project only to have to go in early to school and write another girls portion of a project which I would then have to present. I was already shaking by like 5 am when I tried to take a nap but couldn't and it fixed everything. I know that frustration, I've got a hernia that's common among the elderly and obese or in other words not common for me at all which means I can't exercise much outside of work. It's so annoying to want to be in better shape and be held back. Or think you can do something only to have your body remind you that you can't. I'm not even sure what I did today to deserve the acid reflux ffs. I figure sometimes our bodies need a break, hopefully once you go back home you can take a much needed break.
