An apple a day...

My boss brought me a basket full of apples from his trees. The basket is on my table and the scent of fresh apples is delicious. I can't wait to get home to make some apple pies. One for work, some into the freezer for sad and cold days when I need loads of sugar to cheer me up. Addiction? Yes. Always remember to make enough dough so I can have some of it too.

I have missed BODYPUMP so much. I missed out only for one week and felt empty. I was so energetic in the lesson yesterday that I even surprised myself. I did every rep super clean and did all the reps to the end, even push-ups which usually kill me in the end of the hour. Also I felt how my thighs have actually gotten bigger from my week 1. Oh dear it's week 4 already! Well it was about time then. I always gain some weight when I get into my workout routine but it's mostly just muscles toning, not the apple pie. Well the more hips to check with, the better!

Today we are having off skates practice where we do checks. (EDIT 26.9.2012) So this is where I left yesterday. I had such a busy day, not one of those usual busy days, but those that require a glass of wine in the evening. I made plenty of apple pies, baked cookies with Musta Hurma #27 and hurried off to practice. It must be the cold autumn digging into me 'cause I feel ill tempered quite often. Blanket in the bed is calling for me to cuddle up under it. It's amazing how fast I learn to be dissatisfied - only just on Friday I was happier than ever about everything and now I'm again griping.

Practice was good though! As always it made me feel better. We did different checks and it was nice to notice how much we've actually improved from our previous off skates checks practice. Still a lot to do for me though, it really got clear I need to be careful when checking shorter girls. A couple of times I hit someones jaw or couldn't even reach the thigh 'cause the girl was two heads shorter than I am. And as I try going super low I still haven't learned the right way to do it. Sometimes average size would be easier, but nevertheless I'm gonna find my own nieche! Hopefully I'll then surprise everyone, mmm, another dream to caress.

We skated to improve our stamina and boy did I feel my thighs. Yes, thank you, I already knew you guys exist. Also many of us felt our backs aching which probably means we did something wrong and I have no idea what it was. Or was it just the different drill? It was tough for sure, really a good workout. I went home, drank the glass of wine I needed, some cola too and fell to laziness on the couch.

Then I dreamed about zombies all night and it was horrible. I tried to erase the dream by waking up but it came back every time. I decided to hate zombies for the rest of the day and comfort myself with apple pie. 

Apples turned into apple pie pieces
