FOR ONCE!! And I worry, as I always do, that by saying anything I will jinx myself, but last week and this week my upper body workout showed some improvements. Last week I remember feeling a little stronger, doing a little more. Today was a holiday, and I stayed home, never left the apartment, and didn't even eat brunch for once! Cooked up all my veggies and very trimmed pork... bacony-things (pork is the main meat here in Korea), and looked at my unopened bottle of Absolut Korea. It was a total last-minute buy when I stopped for some grapefruit juice at the convenience store across the street, and they had it. The flavors are almond, coffee, and chili. And I have to say, I love it. Tried it first with (too much) lemon juice and pepper, then just tried it plain, and I like it that way best.
Oh! but anyway, this afternoon I thought, just be lazy, don't workout, only 4 days/week is enough (except Friday's wine and yoga pants night so no, not 4 days), and then went ahead and did the tortuous tabata workout. I held 2 sets of the halfway down push-up for all 20 secs, did a better job of bringing my chest to the floor first in burpees, and then did tricep crab thingies (sorry, I know, not helpful), whereas I usually didn't bother dipping.
Didn't even make it to the doctor because when I set the alarm Saturday I'd set it for weekdays instead of Saturday, and got up too late to get to the clinic. So another week (still have 3 weeks' of pills), but hoping that the small improvements will continue. Yay!
