Undoing all my hard work

[pegkerr]

I came home and did a FIRM workout, Body Sculpt, which works both the lower and upper body with weights. I worked hard and sweated a lot.

Then I made fresh pesto with a whole lot of olive oil and put much too much of it on pasta for dinner. Now I am finishing up a bowl of ice cream.

Go FIRM! I live here in the home of the real thing--one of the instructors just cut my hair yesterday.

Sorry for popping in like this--just saw you in a friend's friends list and was struck by the coincidence. I've loved the Firm for years.

It's not quite that glamorous in real life--mostly we're a bit older and fatter and very sweaty, and we wear tees and shorts. But there are some great instructors, and we get much better music.

But olive oil is good for you! And garlic! And there's nothing wrong with basil. Go pesto!

The ice cream, you can feel guilty about if you want. I say you deserve it.

On the other hand, if you were going to eat that anyway, at least you did the pre-emptive strike by working it off in advance. :D Better than just having pesto (okay, now I really want some) and ice cream without the workout.

And at least you know how to blow calories on *quality* things.

Nah, nah. Peg's a slender woman, she needs all the dairy she can get.

Feel good! You're taking care of yourself! Go team you!

Or to put it another way, you just revved up your metabolism and sent your body the message that you'd like to build some more muscle, please, and then fueled the metabolism and gave your body the building blocks it needed to make the muscle.

I know the feeling. My undoing today was cookie dough.

But why else do we put ourselves through the torture that is Jen Carmen if not to eat ice cream?

*Laughs* Exactly.

I was talking back to her a lot last night: "Jen, you're a sadist Nazi!"
