2-21-17 Pickle-Ball.

I'm writing this entry into my fitness record a week late because that afternoon when I got home, I wasn't feeling very well.  I went to bed early and when I went to the hospital the next day, I was diagnosed with influenza.  It totally zapped my strength and I was pretty much quarantined to my room for the entire week.  Pretty much just walking a few meters to relieve internal pressure.  But it was a tough week in many ways, but also, it was a good week.  It sort of served as somewhat of a detox week for me because I didn't eat a bit of sugar or carbs or fat for the whole week.  I'm ready to get back into my workout schedule and continue with my good eating.

Anyway, back to last weeks Pickle-Ball game.
It wasn't my best to be sure.  I had woken up feeling sore and achy all over.  I really didn't feel the best, but I figured that once I got the adrenaline going, I'd feel a lot better.  So I started playing and I just couldn't get anything going.  I went down quick to a 7-8 point deficit and I just couldn't make it up.  I lost 7-15.  Then in the second game, I seriously turned it on and charged out to a 13-1 lead.  That is when the wheels all fell off,  I ended up losing the game 13-15.  SheeSHHH!!! Talk about demoralizing.  But I didn't want to get bageled so in the third game, I pushed it, but went down early again like in the first game, but I was able to not let it get out of hand and I ground out a win, coming from behind. 15-11.  The final game was much more competitive in that the score stayed within two to three points of the lead and there were multiple lead changes. But I was able to take the last game. I don't remember the actual score, but I think it was like 15-12 (or 13).  So I was able to salvage a tie for the day.

In the end, I torched 1000kcals+.  That is a lot more than the last week.

That was the last day of exercise for the next week.
