Spicy Ahi Part Deux, The Hill, BM@$$ and...The Gym???

Okay, so I didn't get up to do Gilad. I did get up however, after reading a high-school friend's Facebook message (thanks Denise, I'll reply after dinner :).

When I first started this challenge, I'll be honest, I said, "I'm doing this for strictly for the money." After I read my friend's message saying she likes my blog and also mentioned her wanting to also get on a healthier life path for her son, I dunno what came over me. I got up. I put on my workout gear and walked out the door! I don't have any significant other or kiddies, so I need to do it for me. One of my favorite quotes is an old Latin adage (hey Denise, remember that afterschool class??) that states:

Si vis pacem, para bellum: "If you wish for peace, prepare for war". This is usually interpreted as meaning peace through strength. I like to think of it as, "if I'm going to win this war on FAT and be a more beautiful, sexy me, then i'm going to have to have to BUST MY @$$!
Hehehehe...that's what I'll call my plan from now on...the BM@$$ program. Bust My @$$ and whip it into shape!

With that being said, I walked up the Bus Stop mini-hill, down The Hill, around to Blockbuster, past the church, then...back up The Hill! Man it was hot. My feet hurt too! I'm wondering if these new gel insoles arch supports/Nikes are causing my arch to feel funny? Hmmm...




By the time I realized it, I had walked 2.94 miles in an hour. Yeah, seems kinda slow, but you gotta keep in mind that most of the path consists of the ridiculous incline of the infamous Hill.

Went to some garage sales with Mom, didn't buy anything though. Oh wait, I did buy a Woodstock (of Peanuts/Snoopy fame) statue for $3. :) Then...ummm...I had a craving for spicy ahi AGAIN!!! Don't worry, I didn't have sushi! :) Went to Tanioka's Seafood, and much to my dismay there was actually a LINE to get in the place!

You know the grinds are good when there's a SECURITY GUARD at the door!

Hurry up people! I need my spicy ahi and marlin!

The YUMMY but fried goodies case

Mmmmmmmusubi! Bentos too!

Ahhh...1/2 lb spicy ahi and 1 lb of Marlin!

Lunch! 5 oz. marlin, quinoa and veggies!

After lunch, we dropped off Mom to dialysis and went to...Coast Guard Gym! Wow, I haven't been there in at least a year I think, maybe more. The last time I lost weight, it was because of walking and going to this gym (not 24 Hour Fitness). I was a little nervous at first (remember, last time I went to the gym at 24 Hr. Fitness Pearlridge I had a panic attack), but I was able to do most of the circuit machines and did some free weights. Also shot some hoops (not sure if I'm saying it the right way...hoops? baskets?) for about 5 mins. afterwards.

OMG I'm at the gym!

Hip adductor machine...looks naughty! I like it!

Glutes machine! Work dem buns!

workin' da triceps

New kicks on the seated cable row machine

Picked up Mom at dialysis and went to Down to Earth for quinoa...thank God they finally had the bulk quinoa, much cheaper than the pre-packaged ones. :) I'm still debating on what to eat for dinner. I ate an apple, and at 8:00 I ate Mom's leftover 1/2 egg salad/1/2 chicken salad sandwich. Hmmm...spicy marlin maybe? :D Nah...turkey sandwich instead!
Time to go rest my shins! Not bad for a usually "sleep in bed all day" Saturday! Maybe I'll sleep in tomorrow?
