Ms. Basketball that is!

So, I finally got to play a 1 on 1 basketball game yesterday. I don’t even remember how long it’s been, maybe years.  It was against this really tall giant guy (about 6′3″) so I had my work cut out for me.  Enrique, if you are reading this… thank you for your time kind sir! :) 

Well, I have good news & bad news.  Which one should I tell you 1st? Hmmmm…. let’s start with the bad news. 

I lost.

The good news is that I lost by 1 point and I still have my shot!

:-)  I still have a LONG ways to go until I’m in enough shape that I can last an entire game but that will come with time.  I burned a total of 1200 something calories in just 45 minutes, so I know that I was working it! I’m just happy that I have something that I enjoy doing enough to where I feel that it’s not work, you know?  

I definitely need to start hitting the weights consistantly though.  They will help me in my strength & overall body composition.  Right now i’ve just been Mrs. running lady in the mornings & a Mrs. basketball lady in the evenings.  I will probably have to drop the running in the mornings and just lift weights and do a short HIIT sesssion and reserve b-ball for the evenings.  

There is a womans’ b-ball league starting up in September that I want to participate in, so that will be my mini goal for now. 

Let’s see how much I can do in  54 days!

Peace,
