I know that when you are working out and you don't eat you shut down your metabolism. I know that's bad, but despite (because of?) the huge increase in activity I just don't want to eat anything and I'm not sure what to do about that. This morning I've been staring and picking at a container of yogurt with no desire to eat it. Now it's time to shower and I have to throw it away.
On an unrelated note, my quest to figure out my blood type has stalled out. Apparently the reason the Red Cross didn't put my type on my donor card was that if there isn't enough blood to use, they don't test it - they just toss it. So I went through a decade of emotionally building myself up to be able to donate without passing out (although just barely) and they didn't even use my blood. This is not an encouragement to donate again considering my intense fear of needles.
I'm just going to admit that I'm going to allow my doctor to do the blood work she wants when I go in a couple weeks and ask her to also run the type test. THEN it will be over. I will know and I will stop feeling like a mad woman.

Down For the Count
I may have mentioned that I am participating in the Day Zero 101 in 1001 challenge for the second time. If you haven't heard of it, you should check out their site here. The first time I attempted one of these challenges, I fell way short of completing it. I'm hoping to be much more successful this time - and it certainly helps that they have drastically improved their website, showing you the percentage you are towards completion (10%).
One of my goals this time is to complete the 100 Push Ups challenge (which can be found here). When beginning this challenge, the participant begins with a test to see how many consecutive, good-form push ups they can complete. I managed 6, just barely passing level one and crawling into level 2. This means of a seven week program, I begin on week 2. I had hoped with all my yoga planks I would be further along, but I'll take what I can get.
Tomorrow begins the challenge!
