I'm not a duck! =)

I brought my 5” stilettos to to the gym today. We ended up practicing my posing and walking right after plyos which I was thinking should result in toppling over, but it actually improved my walk. Go figure. I don’t walk like a duck! According to my PT I’m actually doing pretty well in them, I still have loads of practice to coordinate all the elements of perfect competition posture and walking though. I was up past midnight last night and I learned quite quickly after that nasty bug (that I’m still not 100% over) that a sleep shortage quickly sets me up to slide. To be smart I made myself intentionally skip morning cardio so I could stay in bed till 7 am instead of 6 am. I didn’t sleep well the last hour, I should have gotten up, but hindsight is after all 20/20 ;)

That’s my Tom Yam soup with shrimps and spinach for dinner over there. Snag it in the freezer section at Trader Joe’s. The soup is 240 cals and I add stuff to it to bulk out the protein (like those shrimp). Yummy!
