Beach wail

Well, my first round of volleyball is done, and here are my observations.

The people are mostly nice and fun and not too competitive at all. Then, as always, there are the people who are not good enough to play in competitive, but act like they own volleyball. My team is made up of people who signed up alone, so you never know what you'll get. Luckily, most of the players I played with, including my teammates, were friendly and good sports, and not bad at all.

There's one person on my team that rubs me the wrong way. In layman's terms she is basically a bossy brat, it seems. She's not bad at volleyball, not great, but she likes to tell us where to position ourselves and has decided she's only playing at the back. She also named me captain and proceeded to tell me what I have to do as captain, like rename the team, ask about our missing players and enter our scores. I really don't mind, and in fact I usually like it, when someone else takes the lead; however, her approach was unpleasant.

On a much more positive note, I played three matches (two that actually counted) from 6:45 to 8:30, and the heat wasn't too bad. It stormed for a short while but the rain was pleasant :) It was much cooler afterward and I got a great workout. I am looking forward to next week.

Yesterday's lunch was an Asian salad wrap with tofu, dinner was eggs, toast, a half-smoothie and a couple slices of cheese. When I came home from volleyball I made Dr. Oetker lemon poppyseed muffins with added raspberries, which I ate (2 small) this morning with a smoothie. I wanted to eat a less sugary breakfast but I am also trying to use my fruit/veggies, etc. before it goes bad.

Not sure what to eat for lunch or dinner tonight, I'll be running around a lot. I still weighed in at 163.6 today after a sweaty workout at the gym. I am happy at least that my weight hasn't gone up, but I am a little (read EXTREMELY) disappointed that neither my weight nor measurements have budged for the entire month of May.

I may be in this challenge for the long haul, but a month-long plateau right before the end of my blog is a bit underwhelming... oh well!

I am off to skippity-skip my way to work. Hope y'all have a nice day and enjoy a break from 40 degree weather with a cool breeze.
