Tuesday Fail. Enter Wednesday.

My apologies to any faithful Three Tangent Tuesday readers.  Admit it, you all are.  I don't know where my mind was.  It's like Tuesday came and went in a big hazy blur and I just realized I failed to do my weekly Tuesday post that gives you too much insight into our lives.  Honestly, how could this happen?  I am going to blame it on the headache I have had for 3 days.  Okay, now that I have officially passed on the blame, let's get to it - a day late!

1.  Water.  I am blaming my days in a row headache on dehydration.  They say an athlete should drink half their body weight in water everyday.  Although I am not an NBA player athlete, I will put myself in the need-to-be-hydrated-category and for me that's 960oz.  That's 30 of these babies a DAY!
Suffice it to say that 30 is not happening.  I usually drink only 4 - 5 during a work day. Thank goodness Emily got it for me at the hospital - it makes drinking water way better than regular cups! Then, I also drink 3 - 4 of these during a workout....
That's about 260oz a day, which is about 700 less than "they" say I should have, but it seems to suite me just fine. The problem is the weekends!  I drink way too much diet coke, I am not sitting at my desk all day remembering to drink water. Although I cart my adidias bottle around everywhere we go (Remember, since I am a soccer players wife) it seems the diet coke always wins the more appealing option award.  I need to work on my weekend water intake.



2.  Last Friday I got on the treadmill to run 10 miles.  I made it one mile and the weight of my heavy tired legs and the soreness of my back told me - HECK NO, we are NOT doing this.  Point taken.  So I got on a spin bike and lasted 30 mins. My mind just wasn't in it.  I was bored, watching the clock and thinking of all the million things I would rather be doing.  I got off, tried the treadmill again - again the answer was a resounding - we are NOT running today NO.  I stood there and looked around wondering what I was going to do - There was no WAY I was getting on the eliptical I would rather scratch my eyes out.  I saw out of the corner of my eye the punching bags.  I walked over to see if there were gloves.  There were!  So I decided a boxing workout it was.
Blurry pictures are awesome, btw!
It was really fun running around the aerobics room punching all the bags with my music on full blast.  I punched and dodged and ran around like a maniac for 45 mins before the stinging in my hand started.
Yeah... that's my sweat.  Pretty gross, right?
Weird I thought - I kept going.  When an hour hit I washed my hands and noticed a serious stinging.  Ah man, my hands were missing skin all over!  Now my right hand looks like this...
I keep splitting this one open... it's in a very a vulnerable spot.
Lady like, right?  You better watch yourself, I am a boxing fool!  Maybe I will tape my hands on the next round!



3.  Did you watch the Apprentice on Sunday?  What did you think?  I have to say that they displayed the video phone well, although I would have chosen the other commercial.  I am AMAZED that the men keep knocking it out of the park every week and I am SO GLAD Dion is gone! She is so ornery!

If you are wondering a little more about ACN, I would love to talk.  You should be aware, however, that if you liked the video phone or if you are looking for a new satellite TV, home phone, cell phone, home security or internet package, we can get you awesome prices!  And just a little bit more of this salesy stuff.... here is our website... check it out! http://benwalunas.acnrep.com/

I promise I will get back on my regular Tuesday game, but enjoy this fabulous Wednesday and be prepared for an amazing hair surprise from me this week!!

Yikes! Your hands look so painful. Have your war wounds gotten you any sympathy from your hubby...like getting out of doing dishes?

Did Ben tell you I have kick boxing gloves you can have if they fit you?? They are almost brand new from back in the day when I tried kick boxing. I bought them because I didn't want the stinky-germy ones at the gym. They are in my car so next time I see you, remind me to get them for you. You go girl!! I need to do something soon too... getting the post baby blues body (yuck)!!
