Lot of stuff going on, not really enough on any of it to put together a comprehensive post, so here is a random brain splattering.\u00a0 “What is up in the world of Quix” indeed.\u00a0 A numbered list, because I like numbers and lists and it’s Monday and I’m doing what I like.\u00a0 Dig?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 I went to a Zumba toning class Saturday.\u00a0 It was half limited Zumba moves with 3 lb weights, half regular Zumba.\u00a0 It didn’t seem like much at the time but the next day my quads were killing me!\u00a0 I guess I should probably work squats and lunges back into my leg exercises now that I’m not running anymore.\u00a0 However, this is a problem because I HATE squats and lunges.\u00a0 Maybe I’ll just keep going to Zumba toning so I don’t have to do them without someone prodding me.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 After Zumba and on the way to my parents house to take over their pool (hello, 100+ degree weather, how are you?), I went ahead and kicked the bag of charcoal, not only stubbing my toe, but piercing a hole through the bag, so when I went to take another step, I pulled my toe a weird way.\u00a0 Yeah, I screamed obscenities.\u00a0 It hurt like a mother bitch.\u00a0 I was worried my toe was super bruised\/sprained\/gonna fall off, and then later I sort of forgot to baby it when we played a nice long round of water volleyball in 2 foot water – I was too busy diving for the save – so I was limping by the end of the day.\u00a0 Luckily it was mostly better yesterday and better today.\u00a0 I did spend yesterday on my ass instead of Zumba-ing or Salsa-ing just to make sure though.\u00a0 Why do I keep hurting myself?\u00a0 And on Saturdays…<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Last night I finally started playing an MMO again.\u00a0 EverQuest has a new server, the 51\/50 server.\u00a0 Basically, it lets you start halfway through the game with a bunch of advantages (for those in the know, level 51, 50 AA points, and super awesome gear).\u00a0 It was a blast to make a new character and just spend half the day mindlessly playing.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Last night I also could not fall asleep for the life of me.\u00a0 Maybe it was the fact that I slept in until 10:30, maybe it was that I sat on my ass all day, maybe it was that I played a video game (for some reason, that tends to rile me up for hours lately, I don’t sleep well after gaming).\u00a0 I tried at first to sleep around 12:30 and was up until after 4am.\u00a0 I saw a rule a while ago on a runner’s forum that says to not run on less than 5 hours sleep.\u00a0 I took that as sage advice this morning and skipped my DDR session.\u00a0 I’ll either make it up after work since I’m feeling better after sleeping in a bit or put in some extra time this weekend.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 I finally got a weekend of good (mostly) eating.\u00a0 Sure, there was a good dose of absinthe on Friday.\u00a0 There were 5 fried shrimp on Saturday.\u00a0 However, my calorie counts were very sane peaking out at 1700-something on Saturday, and that was after a long active day.\u00a0 I started the week this week at 153.8, which is nice, because each week since I’ve been keeping tabs again, it’s been 155+ because of crazy weekends.\u00a0 I’m starting the report tracking today and I’m excited.\u00a0 My “pie in the sky” goal is 15 lbs by 10\/1 (so about 139), but I’ll be happy as long as I’m heading in the right direction.\u00a0 Hell, anything that starts with 14- will make me happy dance like a moron.\u00a0 I think I’ll talk more about this tomorrow, but see above – sleep deprivation and Monday a coherent post does not make.<\/p>\n

6a.\u00a0 This week is crazy sauce until Friday.\u00a0 Tonight, we salsa since we are going to miss Thursday.\u00a0 My super secret plan (which I am announcing to all the internet – so it’s super and secret) is to try and stay for the West Coast Swing 2 class and see if we can hack it, but we’ll see if I’m even up for that after an hour of salsa, let alone Zliten agreeing to it.<\/p>\n

6b.\u00a0 Tomorrow was going to be relaxing and trying out a new healthy pad thai recipe, but now we are meeting at 7pm after work at David’s Bridal to make the final choices on the bridesmaid\/my dress first.\u00a0 Expect a post about it this week as well because apparently I have become the kind of person that can’t shut up about my wedding lately.\u00a0 Good thing it’s less than 3 months away, or I might start annoying myself.<\/p>\n

6c.\u00a0 Wednesday is West Coast Swing 1 at 7pm.\u00a0 Oh yeah, in all that, I also need to find time to workout.\u00a0 I’m not sure when that will be, but I might have to make do with some weekend marathon sessions of – something.\u00a0\u00a0 There was also this really freaking cool Dos Equis<\/a> event that I really really wanted to go to, but we already had dance that night and 2 weekday days out in a row (see below) usually makes me a very tired puppy.<\/p>\n

6d.\u00a0 Thursday is the Yelp Elite <\/a>Event down at the Mowhawk for Austin’s Fashion Week.\u00a0 Free goody bags, free booze, fashion show, a rock opera, live music, trapeze acts, burlesque dancers…oh my.\u00a0 I’m looking forward to get dolled up and go take it all in.\u00a0 What I’m not looking forward to is getting off work early (so I can’t work out in the morning), sitting in traffic to get downtown, and not getting home until late on a weekday.\u00a0 Sigh…the sacrifices I must make… (sarcasm indeed, I’m actually really jazzed to go)<\/p>\n

6e.\u00a0 This weekend will be catchup for all the workouting I can’t fit in during the week, and have to make some progress on more wedding stuff and other stuff on my huge to-do last week list.\u00a0 Honestly, EVERYONE knows when it is and what’s going on, why am I sending out invites again?\u00a0 Sighweddingettiquitesigh…<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Since the race I have run 1 – 2.5 mile run and 1 – 2 mile run.\u00a0 After 3 weeks (and not sure when I am going to get a run in this week) I am not sure I remember how.\u00a0 I think this is the longest stretch of not running since I hurt myself and bruised my heel and had to take 2 weeks off.\u00a0 The problem is running on the treadmill bores me now since I spoiled myself running outside, running outside is too hot unless I’m specifically heat training like I was for the half (not sure why anyone would choose to run in 85-90 degree mornings otherwise), and there is just all this dance\/bike\/swim\/DDR\/zumba\/funactive stuff going on.\u00a0 I should probably just not question and do what feels good until I get closer to the relay and need to really start working my times.<\/p>\n

Ok, that’s enough rambling.\u00a0 What does your week look like?\u00a0 What are you looking forward to?\u00a0 What’s on your to-do list?<\/p>\n
