Thursdays
are supposed to be Zumba days, but the last 3 weeks, I haven’t done
Zumba for one reason or another. Last week it was because I worked a
double
shift at work and didn’t have time to do a workout one day, so Zumba,
being my “extra” workout got bumped. This week, I didn’t do it because
when I woke up this morning, I was tired and decided to sleep in. I
figured I can just do some cardio Saturday morning
and then my strength training, as usual, Saturday evening. I’m good
with that. I may go check out that boot camp class at my new gym. It’s
at 9:30am, so I’d have more than enough time to do that, go get my
nails done, then go home and shower and still make
it to my sushi with friends at 2:30pm. We shall see how spry I feel
Saturday morning…if I feel like Zumba or boot camp. I’m kinda thinking
I’ll go ahead and do the boot camp.
So,
yea, sushi on Saturday! It’s a little get together we plan every
couple months. It’s all people from work, but most of the people work
on the morning
shift (I’m the afternoon/evening shift), so we go after they get off
work at 2pm…and of course, on a day that I’m off work. We go to a
different place each time. This time we’re going to a place called
Piranha Killer Sushi.
I took a look at their menu the other day and all I can say is yum-o!
They’ve got some specialty rolls that look absolutely delicious. And
they’re not expensive either! I usually give myself a cap of $35 to
spend (that’s with tip, of course) when we go
out for sushi. I usually get about 4 rolls with that amount. I’ll get
2 cheap ones and 2 specialty ones.
Then,
on Sunday, I’m going to the renaissance festival with some friends.
That is going to definitely be a “free” day as far as what I eat. I’m
going
to do my best to keep it at a minimum and not over-indulge, but I’m not
going to track calories on Sunday. When we get to the festival, our
first stop is always the food vendor that sells ogre toes (it’s crumbled
bacon packed in sausage with strips of bacon
wrapped around it and then it’s fried…it’s NOT healthy, but I only eat
one a year, so it’s okay). Later in the day, when I get hungry again,
I’ll either eat a funnel cake or a steak on a stick and a slice of
cheesecake. There may end up being some jalapeno
poppers in there somewhere toward the end of the day…if we’re stopping
at a restaurant on the way home for dinner. I’m so excited about the
festival because it’ll be the first time since I’ve lost 30 lbs that
I’ll be wearing my corset. I may even have to
go back to the vendor I bought it from last year and have them cinch me
up a little more in the back laces. Woohoo! Because I’ve lost some
serious inches since I wore it last spring.
