So in an attempt to prep myself for an overnight drive, I decided to stay up last night as late as I could - and I did pretty well. I went to bed 24 hours after I woke up. Granted, I had a two hour nap in the midst of that 24, but it was still a long day. I got pretty darn hungry throughout the middle of the night, so I went for the tea.
Funny thing about tea, or caffeine really, when you never have it, it really affects you. See, I avoid caffeine because it tends to do bad things to my stomach, plus my former route to the substance was via carbonated sugary drinks which are just horrible things all the same. I had two cups of tea, with a tablespoon-ish of honey, and it kept me going as well as kept me away from the food.
I considered doing the workout at 5:30a, but figured that was a little dumb, so I went to bed. I woke around 11:30 and hit the routine. Jumps were okay, a bit trippy for a few reasons I think - a) I had literally just woken up, b) I was in a new place (sister's house) and c) in this new place I could see my reflection! I also noticed through the first set or two my feet HURT, the arches specifically.
The rest of the workout went fine. At this point we're killing a few more hours until we pick up the rental van and start the packing for real. I'm trying to sort out in my mind what food to stick near the driver's seat tonight so I'm not tempted toward terrible junk. I'm thinking raw veggies - broccoli and carrots, likely - and fruit.
Unrelated, but too sweet not to share, Olivia stayed with my mother last night and ended up watching Bambi for the first time. Despite multiple warnings about it being sad, she wanted to see it. She cried through the bad parts, but stuck it out. This morning she wanted to watch it again, this time without the tears.
Welcome to the PCP! It's great to see another couple and really great you're also able to teach little Olivia some great lessons about healthy eating and exercising. :)
ReplyDeleteThe arch pain will go away in a week. Just the muscles remembering they're there.
ReplyDelete24 hours without sleep OR caffeine? I am impressed. Your body must have no idea what is going on right now. Good idea on the veggies near the steering wheel. Hope it's all going well
ReplyDeleteBambi is still one of my favourite films! :) she has great taste in films!
ReplyDeleteAlex - there was caffeine involved, I'm not that good at sleep deprevation. The veggie snacks worked well, but likely destroyed any sort of "diet", as I ate pretty thoroughy during the drive.
