Breakfast was four sausage balls and a glass of water. Total: 3 points
Lunch was leftover channa masala, a smidge of rice, some raita, a half piece of roti, and a half an apple. Then a glass of milk. Total: 10 points
Snack was two glasses of water and a tangerine. Total: 0 points
Exercise was 15 minutes of wii fit yoga, then 20 minutes of some seriously intense EA Active 2. (By seriously intense, I mean heart rate of 165.) So, as promised, let's discuss what's in my home gym.
1) A wii with wii fit and EA Active 2 - My friends The Canadians recommended this, and as we know, Canadians are never wrong. (Okay, really only one of them is Canadian, but still.) I generally need to be entertained/distracted while I exercise, and EA Active and wii fit do a pretty good job of it.
2) Resistance bands - I have started using these more with physical therapy, but I like 'em because I can use them while watching House Hunters or Love It or List It at the same time. (Attention Love It or List It producers: we're not fooled by the 'unexpected costs' storyline, so you can stop beating that dead horse.)
3) Yoga for Stress Relief - This is a good dvd... but! I really recommend taking a yoga class first. DVD instructors don't usually tell you what a pose should feel like, or what not to do, or a modification. With that foundation, you'll get much more out of it.
4) Yoga blocks and mat - Durr. Helpful if you're going to do yoga.
5) Hand weights - Again, you can use these while you watch Property Virgins ("I want a two car garage and a swimming pool and granite counter tops and my budget is $175k...") or Income Property.
6) A foam roller - It's like giving yourself a massage! But if you need a really good massage, go see Margie at Adagio Therapeutic Massage.
In fact, since my muscles were majorly hurting after two days of EA Active, I took some Advil, did some foam rolling, and iced them. Much better.
Dinner was two tostadas with Chris' homemade guacamole, and a red cabbage and cilantro salad with lime an lemon olive oil dressing. Plus two glasses of water, and four tootsie rolls for dessert. Total: 10 points
Snack was a fiber one brownie and a glass of milk. Total: 4 points
Liquids: 7/6
