Anyways, I played a lot of tennis this week. I actually took a lesson on Tuesday night which turned out to be really good. The instructor corrected my form and I was able to hit better almost immediately. Of course I still need LOTS of practice! But I think I will make it a weekly lesson thing so I can get better. It's a frustrating game for me right now, and it makes me mad when I can't do something well. I'm pretty sure there is a tennis etiquette against cursing every time you miss a ball...
Monday 7/30
What I did: Weight lifting, I worked on chest and it was such a hard one, I was hurting for days!
What I wore: Lululemon Hot Class tank in coal/faded zap, and black Astro Crop with Adidas adizero adios 2 shoes. Whiskey is my accessory!
Tuesday 7/31
What I did: Tennis lesson
What I wore: Lululemon Energy SL in angel blue, and Run A Marathon Crop, and Adidas shoes again which are the only shoes I will wear for tennis now.
For work on Tuesday, I wore my Calvin Klein Scoop Neck dress with my Nordstroms BP woven belt and Nine West Ambitious Pumps. I didn't think this was the most professional outfit, but whatever. Somebody actually told me that I looked very dressed up for work though, so that works for me.
Wednesday 8/1 - I did not workout since it was my birthday and I didn't feel like spending it at the gym. Plus it was time for a rest day anyways. But I did take a picture of my work outfit. It's funny, I gave myself a pass to wear a casual dress to work. I figured that if I had to be at work on my birthday, I might as well wear whatever I felt like! So I wore my new Splendid Knit Tie Sleeve dress, but I put my Calvin Klein suit jacket over it. So it wasn't too bad.
Thursday 8/2
What I did: Went to practice tennis again. I probably over-did it a bit, because I really hurt my shoulder. It hurt so bad that I couldn't even move it in the middle of the night. I literally woke up from this sharp pain in my shoulder when I tried to turn. All day on Friday it was hurting too and I couldn't really lift my arm. But I think it pretty much went away now, phew! I was afraid it might have been something more serious.
What I wore: Lululemon Power Y tank in discovery stripe, and bright blue Passion Crop, with Adidas shoes again.
Friday 8/3
What I did: Went back to the gym to lift. It was supposed to be shoulder day but since my shoulder was hurting, I didn't want to irritate it more. So I worked on legs.
What I wore: Under Armour Twisty tank with new Lululemon Free To Be Bra in pow pink under. It didn't bleed. But then again I did not sweat that much. I wore my white denim Dhanurasana crop with it, and New Balance Minimus Road shoes.
I went out to dinner on Friday night, and I wanted to share my kind of comical outfit. People kept looking at me so maybe I looked somewhat ridiculous, but I didn't really care. I've been playing with doing my hair like two high pigtails on each side. Basically the same hair style I had when I was 10! And same as in my current blogger profile picture. So I will share it here. Hey this might be the first time I'm posting a picture with my face in it. =)
I wore my latest hot pink Express tank, with Express Oversized Drape Neck sweater over. And Abercrombie Neve shorts, with Naughty Monkey Jump Start boots (which are awesome!)
Saturday 8/4 - Rest day
Sunday 8/5
What I did: I went to play tennis again! Maybe from now on I should shoot for 2 days a week of tennis.
What I wore: Lululemon pearl luxtreme cool racerback in pigeon, with 50 Rep bra in very violet, and potion purple Run: Energy skirt. I wore my New Balance shoes for tennis today, but decided that I really should just stick with Adidas shoes from now on. They are way more supportive and comfortable.
And that's all for this week! My husband got me the new ipad for my birthday, so I have been losing a lot of sleep this week playing with it! I think I was operating on 4 hours of sleep a night the whole week. So I'm going to hit the sacks early tonight, and get ready for another long week at work... bleh!
You have a beautiful face!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky, an ipad is a cool gift, your husband is great!
Looks like you no longer gym but instead of tennis?
Thanks! And yes the ipad is great. =)
DeleteWell I have been weight lifting at the gym, and then tennis. But I do want to continue doing my interval training at least once a week... it's just hard to find the time! I also want to do yoga once a week too. Seriously, there's not enough days in the week...
Yes it's true!
DeleteI do yoga at home with blogilate: http://blogilates.com/
Do you know?
No I haven't tried that. I don't think I could do yoga at home. Whiskey would bother the hell out of me! Hahaha
DeleteI actually love your Fri night dinner outfit! Totally my style! Hope you had a great b-day! I'm having my 2 daughters' bday party the same day you're having your party! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope your daughters have a blast at their party too!
DeleteHope you had a happy birthday! I'm turning 29 at the end of this year so I know what you mean about reflecting on your life and your goals. Did you decide where you are going for your party? I live in the LA area and have been reading your blog for about a year or so based on your Lululemon reviews, but now I don't buy Lulu that much but still read the blog :P It might be fun (or funny) to stop by and say hello to you!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!!! That will be so fun! I am having it at The Next Door Lounge in Hollywood (on Highland) which is a very cool place with great drinks and good looking people (lol!). You need a password to get in (DAME), and it will probably be under the name Josh (my hubby, who made the reservation). The doorman will escort you to the group (they are serious like that). Looking forward to meeting you!!!
