How many hours are in a week?

You tell me ... I seem to have lost count. It just seems though that I ran out of them a few days ago, I've been so busy. That 5-day headache didn't help either.

I was told not to train. None whatsoever. Nada. It's absolutely killing me. It's one thing when I feel like a sloth because I am only training a few times per week (unlike the 15-20-something hours I was last summer), totally another thing when I am forced to move even less than a sloth.

Sigh.

It makes it worse that I have a sit-down job and have also been coaching at night (coaching what, you ask?) so I haven't even had time to take a walk. Buddha belly is getting rounder ...

This sedentary lifestyle just sucks. I want to train for another marathon, a faster one, and a sprint tri this autumn! Haven't raced much and haven't done any triathlons this season ... ugh. I am way off my mark.

Just have to wait for the doctor's okay next week ... I am sooo tempted to cheat. I am supposed to go dancing tomorrow night - would that be considered cheating? If I go for a walk right now towards Dairy Queen, would that nullify the positive effect of taking a walk?

I have lots of pics to post from my sons' birthday party ... It was a total blast! Stay posted ...

My Buddha Belly is very happy

Been on vacation with the kids for the last week and a half and it's quite apparent in the food that we're eating.

For example, check out these chocolate lava cakes, just like the ones you'd order in a fancy restaurant ...

Of course, every night is movie night ...

And we've been drinking lots of sugar-filled "juice", but it's oh soooo tasty! Our favourite!

On the up side (well, maybe down side 'cause it's against doctor's orders), we've been cycling and swimming, some kind of activity everyday ... have to, to fight the Buddha Belly which is gaining ground at a tremendous speed.

We are going to the beach today. Bikini or not? Oh, I shudder!
