brrrrr....

So the cold, nasty, snowy weather didn't stop me from heading to the gym today, but it didn't stop me from having two pieces of chocolate cake tonight either!!
Do you ever have those weekends that you just can't remember? Like, you can't remember where you went or what you did, and the harder you try to remember, the more of your life you forget, and soon enough, you're like, "Man, what's my birthday?" or "What's my middle name?" or "Where am I?" Ok, so not so much the latter.
This has been an issue for as long as I can remember. Someone will ask me, "What'd you do this weekend, Kem?" and with a puzzled, dazed and confused look on my face, I rack my brain to remember any minute detail of the previous two days and nights. All the while, the inquirer is thinking, "Yep, she totally got wasted!" Reading their mind, I blurt out, "NO! I didn't get drunk this weekend!"
I was reliving this all-too-familiar problem before I wrote that story, but now I remember exactly what I did this weekend, so bam.
Anyway, my workout went really well today. That is, after I switched it up a little. Derick and I began with the WOD from the crossfit Memphis website, but I started feeling extremely sick. Not the workout fatigue that comes and goes sometimes, but I seriously thought I was going to lose my stomach right there in the middle of the gym, and we'd only just begun (to live, white lace and promises). Ok, so if you know that song, 10 points to you. I think there is a huge difference between working out hard and feeling a little queezy. Derick does that sometimes because he really pushes himself, and I guess it's just one of those things that happens, but today's sickness was not because of physical exertion.
I left Derick to the WOD and worked on arms and abs, which I was really pleased with. But I realized that I had started to feel sick after running a few laps, so I began to wonder if it has something to do with my cardio. I jumped rope, too, and got the same feeling. I don't think I'm extremely under-conditioned, so it may have just been the day. Hope so, anyway! We swam a few laps, and I felt a lot better, so it was probably just a brief sickness. I have been sick off and on lately.
OK, enough about my illnesses! I wanted to brag and say that I looked in the mirror today and saw, what I like to think of as, some kind of results! My weight is still the same, which is fine! I really like seeing what a little bit of dedication can do! Just think what a lot of dedication could do!
So, the roads were getting pretty terrible as we were on our way home! Everyone be safe, please!
