The mad dash on Day 1

Alrighty... day 1 of this trek and I'm already behind! I just got off the plane from LA after a 5 hour red eye, and now I have to run off to the grocery store and get what I need to follow the diet. Thankfully I don't have to worry about throwing stuff away since I don't have anything in the fridge. On the flip side, I'm friggin' starving and can't eat until I go shopping.

So now my body is screaming at me because I'm on two hours sleep, and I'm just hoping I can stay awake to teach my 5:30pm class and then come home and workout. Hmmm, that sounds a bit like I'm complaining. Oh well, that's what this blog is for, right? Well, that and throwing jabs at my "Huttesque" brother. For those of you that don't know, that was a Star Wars reference (yes, we are geeks. A pictorial reference has been included for the uninitiated). Personally I would say he's more like Lee Adama after the fleet makes camp at New Caprica, but that's just me ;)

On a separate note, I had a quick conversation with Muddy yesterday about the equipment that we've purchased for the workouts. He's going to be using resistance bands while I have selectorized dumbbells, but the real contention was with the yoga equipment. Muddy pointed out that at Dick's you could buy a yoga mat and yoga block separately for about $45, but if you bought the package it was less than $30. On my yoga equipment shopping trip to Dick's I noticed this as well, but my immediate comment was, "I'm not working out on a pink yoga mat." Yes, the package deal only came with a pink yoga mat, and my overwhelming (and slightly threatened) male ego screamed NO PINK YOGA MATS. I figured I need to be able to do some yoga with a little male pride. Please note for the record though, Muddy will be doing his yoga on a pink mat. And with a purple yoga block. If I remember correctly the yoga strap looked something like a rainbow. I think it also came with a sticker for the car... add to del.icio.us saved by 0 users
