I could get used to this
Day 2 of unemployment: woo hooo! Too bad I have to go back to work tomorrow. I was just starting to enjoy being a lady of leisure…
Snowboarding yesterday kicked my ass! I did pretty well — we did mostly the blues; one blue-black (a difficulty level that they seem to have invented since the last time I was on a ski slope. That makes me sound old: “hell, back in my day we only had three levels and we were grateful for ‘em!”)
Yeah.
I only had one bad fall (along with many lesser falls). I was getting off the lift and fell backward, trapping the board underneath me. I had to release my front foot from the binding before I could get out of there and for several agonizing seconds, my knee was bent under me in a way that knees are not supposed to bend. But I iced it last night and it seems just fine today.
The rest of me is a little sore – been a while since I hit the slopes and some new muscles got tweaked yesterday that I apparently don’t use that often. But I’m pretty sure I burned about a jillion calories…and had a blast doing it.
Core/Plyo Challenge update:
Sunday: 150 crunches and 10 PBs
Today: 180 crunches and 10 more PBs.
A lot of work to do before Thursday — going to have to kick it into overdrive this week. 
Now I’m off to do lady-of-leisure things like shopping and pretending to do some light housework.
Later!

so confession time: I’m from Québec (Canada) and I have never skied, or snowboard. I know right?? Anyways hopefully this year is going to be the turning point… About the challenge, I have lots of wok to do to

HAHA! That’s okay, I’m from Texas and I never herded cattle…or something else you’re supposed to do in Texas.
Um…but you do play hockey right???

Actually, no ( I know I’m not helping my case here
) I know how to, but I’d be pretty bad… Anyhow, the CANADA team WILL win in the Olympics!!!

Nothing seems like burning calories when you are having fun. Two days after something like this is always when the soreness sets in for me.

I actually felt alright today except for some random aches like my calves, forearms and the left side of my neck. Weirdy.

Your fall sounds gloriously epic!
Good work… I would have done the same… twice.
Good luck with the Core Challenge! It’s kicking my butt this week…

Oh, it was. Especially since it happened in front of about 30 school children…SCORE!

I’ve always wanted to try snowboarding, but damn, I think I’m just too old. I hurt my back doing crunches on a ball. I can imagine what snowboarding would do to me.

you’re right – I’m less limber than I used to be. I really felt it in my knees the next day. But I’m also stubborn as hell and I refuse to quit!!

hehe, I couldn’t resist asking — and you’re probably right about the Olympics!
