But I feel like I’m in a rut for some unknown reason.
My weekends are filled with activities at least 2 weeks in advance if not more; I’m playing on two volleyball teams this summer, one competitive, one rec beach; I’m sorta seeing someone, but it’s kinda tricky since she works out of town; my guild is doing amazing things and all the people that follow are constantly improving, and yet I feel like something different has to occur.
Since last post: Both volleyball teams won, so 2-0 in each league to start, but I really felt it on Wednesday. Guess I’m not as in shape as I thought. And I also agreed to sub for a friend’s team tonight who is playing 3 games before I play my standard 2 for my team. Should be a nice long warm-up. Only problem with that is that I’m still feeling drained from the weekend.
Weekend recap: Friend’s birthday on Friday night, was out and up until about 2. Bi-monthly blood donation the next morning followed by dim sum breakfast with some friends. A 1/2 afternoon of video games followed by an hour and a half of Frisbee. Pectoral, bicep, and tricep muscles are sore and right leg as well for some unknown reason. After Frisbee it was the 1st game of the hockey playoffs followed by a decent game of SCBG. Sunday was pretty much spent recovering from Frisbee and just lounging around, was pretty lazy and still feeling the effects today. Volleyball is going to be really interesting tonight.
Also, I’ve decided to give up casual drinking except for special occassions. The reason is behind my attempt at weight loss. Every time I go out it’s almost always 4-8 drinks if I still want to be able to drive home at the end of the night, well those drinks contain essentially useless calories and it’s always mixed with non-diet pop, which adds more to what I have to lose. Since I’ve seemed to have plateaued between 216-219 according to Wiifit (214-217 according to my bathroom scale) I need to figure out what else more I can do to get a lower weight. Cutting out parts of my diet will help. I know that I need to exercise more, but finding the right time to do it is tricky because I like to have more than one day off in between. Playing back to back this season is a test to see if I can do it. It’s only for 10 weeks, so it’s a good sample size 🙂 Here’s my weekly break down:
Sunday: AM raid, afternoon/evenings free.
Monday: volleyball.
Tuesday: volleyball.
Wednesday: Off-night
Thursday: raid night.
Friday: Off-night/going out to be social.
Saturday: Off-day, but usually out at night.
As you can see, my weeks are pretty much booked solid, what I think I need to do is find something to do Friday night or Saturday morning/afternoon which will work great. I think I’m going to add rollerblading to my Friday night’s after work before going out. That’s a good idea 🙂 Then find something to do Saturday, a friend and I were talking about taking up tennis, would require a new pair of court shoes since I’d be using my old volleyball shoes for tennis. Maybe we’ll start this week….
See, I don’t get it, by all accounts I should feel like I’m in a rut, but somehow I do.
Current Track: Ferry Corsten feat Maria Nayler – We Belong (Official Video) The video is kinda cheesy but I like the song.
