vacation + bbq = indulgence

Today is technically the start of Golden Week in Japan; a series of national holidays that combine to be a good week or two of vacation time.
Thursday today is a holiday as are Monday - Wednesday next week. So back to work tomorrow, but TODAY, the crappy rain is cleared up, it is sunny and 21C and my friend Miri will be BBQing up a storm at my house. And of course I will partake of Indulgence #2 in a big way.
To keep a good rhythm, I got up at 5:30 like I always do, did my jumps and killer legs/shoulders/abs workout, had breakfast, and cleaned up getting ready for a house full of guests and kids.
To maximize the love-handle area, I do 8MA and try not to let my feet ever touch the floor. I extend and retract my legs as much as I can during all the different sets, keeping some serious pain in the lower abs. Thankfully failed a few times, which means it is working. Getting a burn on shoulder work is easy; basically flame on from the first set through the whole workout. Several weeks to go, and still need to bulk up my upper body and carve out the abs and chest and arms and back...but today, I indulge!

  1. Enjoy your indulgence.

    I have also found that I like being in the kitchen and shopping for new things.

    Today I got two new types of fish. The fish man comes on Wednesday from the beach. I am now a regular. That should get me through a week, instead of two meals. What a revaluation.

    I hope you have a nice party.

  2. I have to try this 8MA no-touch-floor technique today.
