Today I start eating properly again. Yesterday was filled with Taco Bell, ice cream and Home Maid bakery goodies in preparation for this day.
But this is not the original Whole 30 paleo diet. I still plan on having a beer. Or two. It is October and there is football, Halloween, birthday parties and various other celebrations and libations to partake of out there.
Speaking of which, I had a good time at the First Friday last week. It was fun and mellow at the same time with my fellow RFMer's. Kehau, Patty and Ikaika and I hung out. We ate and drank and just talked as we walked around Market Street. The subjects were varied and included:
- Why Rainbow Park is the scariest of all parks on Maui
- How people get down and let loose at Miki's house
- Why Friday night's workout really sucked
Yes, I was pleased to note that Ikaika and I both had the same problem with the Seventh Heaven workout, which was 7 overhead squats followed by 7 burpees for 7 rounds.
Did we mention we did back squats prior to the workout? Is anyone surprised? Of course not.
Ikaika's back was hurting so he did front squats instead of overhead squats but still, the result was the same.
We both finished the first round of overhead and did our first rep of burpees and then fell down.
Seriously. My legs just gave out. And when I mean they gave out I mean my leg muscles turned into solid lead.
Again, this was on the first rep of the first round. Only had 48 more reps to go.
I don't know about Ikaika but at the time the only thing going through my mind was, "Really?"
I'm not sure how I made it through that workout. I just gritted my teeth and squatted, then tried to do something that barely resembled a proper burpee.
So you know how a burpee is supposed to look like right? You squat, get into plank position and do a push up, then get back into squat position and jump back up.
Well mine looked like this instead:
- I had a seizure and collapsed
- After drooling on the floor I became intoxicated and attempted to stand
- Once upright (somewhat) I tried to jump over an invisible credit card and failed
Somehow I made it through, showered and came back to Wailuku and met the gang for First Friday. Walking around with my RFMers and shooting the breeze afterwards took my mind off the pain. We drank a little and ate some cheap thai food and I bought the greasiest, grossest, most disgusting bibinka I have ever eaten.
Another reason why I'm going on paleo. Whatever works to motivate you right?
Hope to see you all at the next First Friday. Maybe a Fourth Friday excursion to Paia? Anyone?
Later gang,
Rod
