Yesterday was a good day. My friend never called to go for that walk...I'm assuming because the weather in the afternoon was cold and blustery...but that's fine because I couldn't have skipped out of work anyway. Instead I worked until 5:30 then headed off to the gym for just after 6:00. I had a FABULOUS cardio workout.
I did 20 minutes on the good elliptical, 20 minutes on the recumbent bike, and 20 minutes power walk on the treadmill with an incline. After each machine I stopped and did a set of 15 crunches, 15 step-ups with weights, and 15 squats with the 3kg medicine ball. Felt good. (Well, my screwed up shoulder/neck/arm/muscle/whatever still doesn't like it but it doesn't like anything!)
Also stayed easily OP. In fact, I had to talk myself into my muffin treat last night since I'd eaten dinner so late. But with the workout I didn't want to undereat, so I crammed it in. :) I also crammed in my last glass of water to make my full 3 litres for the day.
My cold is subsiding but now I have that lovely flemmy throat and I'm constantly clearing it. I hate that. Glad I'm home alone and no one has to listen to me. I'm a wreck, eh? Sore shoulder, stupid cold, meh. haha.
I'll be doing the gym at lunchtime today if I can manage to get my work done. Should be interesting. I'll probably have to cut my cardio time in half and maybe only 2 sets of strength training instead of 3. I should have gone this morning, but I was pooped and managed to shut my alarm off and slept in. I can't go tonight because of a poorly timed chiropractor appointment and meeting. Oh well, I'll do my best.
Today's goals: 3 litres of water, some form of gym time, stay OP

- Red River cereal with 1/2 banana & 1 tsp natural PB

Glad to hear you're feeling better, minus the phlegmy throat!
Your meals always sound so delish. I need to spend more time planning or something. Also, which gym do you go to? I have decided that I want a membership for Christmas, but I am trying to pick a place that has classes (step and spin) that will fit around my work schedule and so far I haven't had any luck.
We must be neighbours! That's where I live too! Between the co-ed one there, and the one in Park Vic downtown (on my lunch breaks), I think I could have a pretty good schedule.
MMMM Phlegmy throat!!! Sounds lovely!!!
I think that's awesome that you went to the gym!! Usually when my plans fall through I have issues talking myself into doing something constructive!!!!
Glad you're feeling better!
I have to have warm breakfasts in the winter...things like cold cereal or yogurt just don't cut it when it's freezing outside.
Glad you are feeling at least a little better anyway.
I agree with KAren, your meals do sound super yummy. What is the red river cereal? I have to get my carbs lower at breakfast.
Glad you had a great workout!
i love red river cereal. glad to hear you are feeling better!
Good luck with the chiropractor...Hope you can get your neck/shoulder issue fixed up.
