We went out to a local tapas place for dinner last night (coincidentally called Barcelona) as I was craving some red wine sangria. While the food and drink was good, it's not quite like being in Spain. That and I think having the kids there who didn't like the food (sauces) as much was rather difficult. We tell our kids they can't live on mac and cheese forever and constantly work on expanding their palate. They did try everything we asked them to even if it wasn't to their liking. I do have hope though as my oldest didn't like any fish or non cheese sauce at all and suddenly started gobbling down salmon and pesto pasta. I did follow this up with some tasty gelato that was around the corner because we enjoyed those on the many hot days/nights of trekking across Europe.
I digress... either the sangria or just still trying to adjust to the time zone difference made me very sleepy. Pretty sure I was fully out by 9:30pm. This led to waking up at 4:30am. My norm would be to read in bed and then fall back asleep. This is not really a good idea as I hit another sleep cycle and wake up even groggier when it was time to wake up (alarms were set for 5:45, 6:15, and 6:30 as my son had to be ready for camp by 7am).
This morning I got my butt out of bed and went in my disaster of an office and cleaned my desk a bit. It felt really good! I also got my to-do list written down and then went and got in my workout.
Day 6 of the combat / pump hybrid = Pump Challenge. I increased my weights from 2.5lbs to 5lbs each side for the final arm / shoulder workout. I can see and feel my arms still shaking while blending my shakeology so I think it was a good challenge to my muscle.
1 child off to camp and now time to get my 'work' day started although I may need to squeeze in a quick rest later to function.
