Workout FAIL(S)

Workout FAIL number one: Assuming that I can handle 50 minutes of cardio just because I used to be able to handle more than that in college. I'm lucky if I get to the gym twice a week these days (possibly a life FAIL? But that's a topic for a different post), but I still thought I could handle 20 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes on the elliptical last night. Not so much. I was seriously ready for bed by 9:15 I was that exhausted from the workout. And walking up stairs today was a serious issue.

Workout FAIL number two: Assuming that wine and push-ups go together. Pretty obvious, right? But apparently, after a glass or two (or three...) of wine, I feel pretty invincible. And that push-up workout that I forgot to do earlier? Totally managable, according to my inebriated state. Or so I thought. I made it through the workout just fine (maxed out at 17--my highest yet!), but I'm feeling the after effects of it now (a mere ten minutes later). Good thing I don't have to work tomorrow... I might definitely be taking advantage of the opportunity to sleep in. Although I do intend to get another gym workout in tomorrow before we head out of town... We'll see how that goes.

PS Food post tomorrow! I actually cooked tonight, and if I were feeling up to it I would upload the photo now, but there's wine that needs finishing and that's my priority for tonight :-D

Update: My camera decided not to work on Thursday so a food post was not happening (what's a food post without pictures??) It's good enough that I promise it will be coming sometime after Christmas though!
