Day 32 of the effort, day 2 of forced rest and yoga. I find the best yoga videos on YouTube. Instead of buying a bunch of DVDs, I can get something new everyday with a simple Google search. I still have the headache.. And pills aren't helping yet. My back and neck are starting to feel a little better.. Somewhat. I'm trying to take in the adequate amount of calories for my size and activity level. Since I'm less active, I'm not dealing with the constant hunger... Well, yes I am. But I am hitting my 1800-1900 calorie requirement each day. The problem comes when i'm trying to get enough protein in each meal. I love my oatmeal, which is carb heavy, so I've taken to adding a few spoons of soy protein powder to it. It made it a bit creamier, so I'll add more water (not more milk).
Starting tomorrow, I'll be able to give a full account of what I'm eating. I figured out how to get my e-food journal emailed to me. So, each morning, I'll post the food from the day before. I welcome all critiques and comments.
Also, congrats to Harlem Red! I'm so proud of her acheivement and commitment to the effort! Luv and hugs, lady!

Hey Sinnamon - glad you're feeling better and restructuring your routine. Some oatmeal hints passed to me: Quick method: add milk to dry oats and let 'em soak in the fridge 1/2 hour, cook. Involved method: put fine oats in food processor until as fine as they can be, cook in water for awhile until they are so creamy there is no granular feeling. Add milk and stuff. TJ's still out of the quick-cook steel-cuts, so I brought home the Irish steel-cut and the hubby kindly woke 1/2 hour earlier to make 'em! Not bad, but I hope to get the regular quick-cook steel cuts soon. So, btw, the hubby originally brings me the giant-sized cans of Campbells chunky soups, but since I'm just starting with the "weights" I wanted to start small, which was why on Day 9 I started with the legs, but now I have the proper "mmm mmm good" soups! Plus the classic can of CCNS gives a happy feeling, integral to my overall well-being and workout.
Day 10 (Taco Night)
Breakfast: oatmeal
Lunch: lean TJ's pastrami on whole wheat w/low fat cheese, salad
Dinner: TJ's taco shells with seasoned meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar. Small sweet potato.
Snack: nuts, orange, leftover chocolate cake (via Sinnamon, lol)
Day 10 Exercise
3 sets of 8 reps of each arm movement, accompanied by my Campbells's Chicken Noodle Soups (CCNS)-
pumping, pressing up, pressing forward, pushing out, alternating pushing down, mini-circles forward, mini-circles backward, pulling back, flexing outward (basically every direction I could think of)
Mommy's Baby baby lifts
3 sets of 8 ab crunches
Oops, I realized that what I had for Day 10 (Taco Night) is actually Day 11. Not that it's a big deal, but I don't want any confusion. Like, wow, she had a lot that day, lol.
