TBT: Day 1

The boring stuff

Sleep: 9.5 hours.  I slept in.

Food:  Peanut butter and whole wheat bread for breakfast
mushrooms and spinach, mandarin oranges, and a kashi granola bar for lunch
muscle milk and kashi granola bar after practice for dinner
water, milk and ice tea to drink

Workout: Nona practice!  I did my 50 laps kindof slow, but I held my form pretty well for it.  Bounced my head on the ground, and strangely I feel it most in my neck.

The fun stuff

(And by fun I mean it took me 5 minutes of "relax, don't suck it in, just be" to take even one of these photos.  This here is the very example of bravery.)

 
Waist: 41 in
Hips: 50 in
Bust: 46 in

General notes: I don't think I ate enough today, cause I was noticeably hungry before practice.  Now I'm about ready to crash, and normally I'm not tired till close to midnight.  But hey, I went grocery shopping and now have a fridge full of fresh veggies to make wonderful things out of.

I think I'll do photos and measurements every 30 days (so Feb 2, Mar 2, Apr 2) to have a few more data points to how this is going.  And I will NOT step on a scale.  Screw that infernal contraption.

And the word was "WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING?"

So here's the start of my 90 day Total Body Transformation (well I guess it's tomorrow since tonight I'm writing this and enjoying some Baileys).

One of the things I learned from work is being S.M.A.R.T. with goal writing (yes, my job can actually be applicable to the rest of my life).  Specific Measurable Attainable Relevant Time-bound.  So going forward with that:

Goal: I want to be able to juke past blockers on my third and fourth hard fought pass through the pack when I'm jamming.
Current state: I'm normally so spent by this point all I have is "don't stop skating" and "keep moving forward".
Action plan: Increase agility, strength, and endurance.  Use UFC Trainer, Your Shape Fitness Evolved, and Biggest Loser Extreme Workout on my Xbox (yes, I'm a nerd), as well as Monday/Wednesday/Thursday practices.

Goal: Be more productive throughout the afternoon at work.
Current state: After lunch, I'm in a slump.  I lack the energy to stay well focused.
Action plan: Eat well and eat correctly.  Focus on food that will fuel and nourish my body through the day.  Feed myself for better mental performance.  Join a CSA.

I'm hoping I can trick myself into sticking with this by tying the big picture things (work out consistently, eat healthier) to the nitty gritty shit that impacts my daily life.  So here's to 2013 and starting it off with a new adventure.

Frida's post (http://90daytbt.wordpress.com/2011/02/21/so-you-want-a-total-body-transformation/) has all the rules and corresponding links if the crazy is contagious.

Beginnings are just weird

Unfortunately, I don't have anything better to say.

I'm Eve. I skate for Assassination City Roller Derby. I work as a software engineer at Raytheon. There will be more later.

For now, trust is an interesting concept, especially when you break it down.
