Week two of the me project. I went out and played ball again. This time is was an epic fail. I dropped more balls than I caught. I could not get open. I could hardly stay on my feet. The reason behind this epic nightmare really boils down a very sick three year old and a sleepover.
My eldest had a friend staying over, which meant the youngest was in my room. To make matters worse, he was sick all night long, crying, vomiting, and carrying on. I probably slept 2 hours total last night. I woke up after 8 for an 8:30 game and hustled out of the house without eating or drinking anything. At least I brought a water bottle.
Take it from a 37 yr old with the body of a 49 yr old; you cannot hope to be successful going at it cold like that. Although I didn’t cramp or pull anything, my right knee feels swollen and my legs ache like I replaced all my blood with lactic acid. It is clear that I am out of shape and need to do much more in order to be ready for sundays. I need to be in the gym twice a week at least. I will try to hit the gym on wednesday and, in a few weeks, add friday to the routine. If I can do that, bringing in all of the extra workouts, and do some more on the side with the kids, I will be legitimately game ready in a month.
That is when the pounds will be ready to come off.
