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!!
