Hello! Today is currently day 35 of the effort and day 5 of forced active rest. My body feels alot better after the rest. My headache is going away and the aching had basically stopped. I SO want to get back in the gym, but I know it's too soon yet. It's Valentine's day today. I made myself a great brunch and still kept it reasonably healthy. I had scrambled eggs ( 1 whole egg 2 whites) with a bit of cheddar, turkey bacon and a waffle and a half. I also devoured a brownie.... It wasn't the best choice, but autie flo is in town and that's what I had to have. Lol..
Since I am cramping, I will not do my exercise until later in the day. I have been alternating pilates and yoga and today is a pilates day. I have 2 pilates Dvds, but I usually use the Mari Windsor branded one. I like that one a lot. When I actually post from the computer, I'll embed a video.
As for days 33 & 34, they were nothin spectacular. Friday, February 12, was a pilates day. Yes, it was the Mari Windsor DVD. I always feel alive after that session.. Saturday, February 13 was day 34. A yoga day. I've searching YouTube to find the right yoga video. I found a Hatha yoga video that did the trick. I'll embed a video soon. It was rather calming. Involved a lot of ground work on the mat. It was a bit too slow for me, but I felt stretched and calm afterward.
Thanks for reading today. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.

Happy Valentine's Day! Forced rest days, lol. That's my girl! So, yesterday was my cheat day, and it could have been a lot worse than it was, I suppose. Started off in the early morning hours with a 1/2 fish sandwich and some fries. That's the problem when you have an early dinner the day before, I guess, lol. Dinner would normally be considered healthy, though the sauce on the main dishes was so delicious it had to be a base of butter and oil, haha.
Day 14 meals:
Early morning and then brunch: 1/2 fish sandwich, fries. oatmeal, bacon, part of a scrambled egg, bit of hash browns
Dinner: salad, lobster ravioli, fillet of sole, a few bites of filet mignon, broccoli/ zucchini/ carrots, Italian cheesecake, a few bites of vanilla ice cream
Snack: whole wheat pita, roasted garlic hummus/ roasted red pepper hummus
Exercise Day 14:
3 sets of 8 reps each arm workout - with the cans of CCNS, basically in every direction I could think of.
ab work
10 minutes uphill brisk walking while pushing stroller while squeezing in buttocks and abs.
oops, I forgot - also a glass of red wine during dinner, and a portion of red velvet cake with brunch and another portion of it later in the evening.
