ALL WATER WEDNESDAY

Living in Alabama and having to be outside for work (working new student orientation) in the dead of summer is just asking for heat stroke. My boss always has us have “All Water Wednesdays” before our afternoon of being outside to keep us hydrated. He will literally throw away soda, coffee, juice if he sees it. He’ll allow Gatorade or like crystal light, but his preference is for us to drink straight H2O.

Last week I mentioned that I am instituing my own ALL WATER WEDNESDAYS and encourage you all to follow suit. Some of you said you want to, but can’t part with your morning coffee/caffiene. I’m a coffee drinker too (I plan to resist on Wednesdays), but you know what – I’d rather you start your day with caffeine if you need and then spend the rest of your Wednesday only drinking water. Don’t let your caffeine addiction keep you from hydrating well on Wednesdays.

I will put on a reminder post tomorrow AM.

Comments Question

Is there a way for nontumblr users (like my IRL friends) to comment on my tumblr posts – even if it is as anon?

UPDATE:Thanks for the quick responses. So non tumblrites you can you use Disqus – it should pop up when you click comment. You may need to register for it or I think you can comment without registering – if anon feel free to sign your message so I know who it is from.

Some ups and downs with measurements – I may redo my belly measuremenet, because I’m shocked that it jumped 3 inches, like not possible, my belly looks gooood. Regardless of numbers I feel freaking great. I am having a “skinny” day and I peeked at the scale and was quite excited by the number I saw, I hope it doesn’t get scared off for WIW tomorrow.

Puddle of sweat

I haven’t worked out on a Monday in quite sometime, I guess because Sundays were/are my “long runs” and I’ve rested Monday however due to my schedule right now Tues and Thurs have to be my rest day and my “long runs” are still only single digits right now. 

So I went to the gym and it was PACKED. I grabbed a treadmill and knocked out 2 miles before spin class, then went to spin then ran 1 more mile. Since there were so many people at the gym I was soaked BEFORE spin and then spin was packed too. My usual Wednesday class isn’t as busy. I sat in a different spot in the room, but really liked it. 

I may been sore, but I feel so alive and tomorrow I rest.
