Was very hung over from Madonna concert night before.


hahahah, M2 is a big madonna fan apparently. Now were you getting drunk because you were so happy you were at the concert. Or getting drunk because you had to sit through a  madonna concert.

Well - since last writing I played golf saturday (horrible, FCC maybe a 115)
Then ate bad fish and was terribly sick for my best friend's wedding.
Haven't eaten much in the last three days.

Monday night had zone dinner, steak, asparagus, peanuts, smoothie for carbs.

Workout: 1/2 hour of trees, handstands - not enough energy for the WOD but did some double unders

breakfast: eggs, bacon, apple about 4/4/4
Snack: turkey, apple, peanuts, about 3/2/3

Morning workout - "Playground" walk 1.5 miles 30 pullups (10 10 10) 30 hs pushups ( 3 10's) 30 one legged bench hop ups (in 10's alternating) 30 monkey vaults

12:30 Golf. East potomac shot 49 (par 34) played with retired Army Colonel (holy shit!!!) "Rocky". This reminds me that one of my greatest frustrations in life is my limited capacity to absorb the greatness which I am constantly fortunate enough to be surrounded by. I learned a tremendous amount in 9 holes, but wish it was videotaped, if I watched it 100 times I'd learn something else every time.

Lunch:

What kind of yoga?

M2: All kinds really, I just have a rotation of DVD's I use from very easy to pretty strenuous. Some days I do my own mix with Tai chi mixed in to keep it fluid :)

turns out my "spasming muscle" on 8-13 was a little worse than I thought. Seems to be a strained spinal erector on the right side. I've been to a chiropractor and to the emergency room. Now taking Flexoril to keep it from spasming too much. Have been laid up icing for the past week and haven't done any movement or exercise apart form some stupid stuff last week.

Still eating fairly zone, have to work to not snack when sitting around doing nothing.

If I had gone back to my old school I would have been a certified kundalini yoga teacher.

M2: Cool. So as is are you qualified but not certified?
