Still Sore....

My arms are still killin' me... My triceps are so engorged, it's difficult to raise my arms over my head and bend at the elbow... Maybe I over-did it... Oh well... I guess no gym again today...

Dang, I'm behind the Florida team. Got to motivate myself harder...

Today's activities... NO GYM... too stiff to lift anything heavier than 5 pounds...

Here's today's meal plan:

Breakfast: 2 pieces of Multi-grain Toast

Snack: Got to love these Blue Diamond Almonds. 8 pieces = 160 calories... Rich in fiber too...

Lunch: Instead of a full portion of Indian food lamb curry, rice and na'an. I went with the lunch box - 1/2 a cup size of Tikka-Masala Chicken, 1/2 a cup size of Sa'ag (spinach and potatoes - FYI. I skipped the potatoes... too much carbs), and one full size na'an bread.

Dinner: Panera's 1/2 and 1/2: 1/2 a Smoked Turkey sandwich (they add dijon mustard. I should've asked for plain) and 1 cup of Tomato soup with croutons and 1/4 slice of French bread. Drink: Unsweetened Ice Tea with Lemon and 1 packet of RAW Sugar (brown packets... I think it's better than regular sugar, but who knows. Next time I'll pass on the sugar and just stick with Lemons).

Work-out for the day:

Stair Master... Mastering the stairs in my second floor Apartment.

I had to run several errands today, so I had to go up and down my stairs about a dozen times, half of which included carrying at least 5 to 10 pounds each hand.

I had to take 3 bags of laundry to the laundromat. (total weight of laundry = 85 lbs.) Fine... I didn't carry all 85 pounds up and down the stairs, but I did drag them down to the car. Tomorrow, I'll be carrying them up the stairs after they finish washing our clothes. (Shout out to Sarah for telling me about getting my laundry done by experts... I don't see how I can spend 3+ hours doing laundry again. Of course, all of these amenities will change once I get my own place)

After the laundry work-out, I moved on to Grocery shopping. Pushing and pulling a shopping cart full of groceries can get tiring, specially when the shopper takes crawls through every aisle looking for low calorie foods and deals.

After shopping, I had to carry the grocery up the stairs, which amounted to 6 trips. Oh what fun.

I hoping that through all the effort, I might have expended at minimum 50 calories. At least I got my heart rate up and I can feel a little sweat...

Baby steps, tomorrow brings different challenge.

See, Marge, you don't need P90X, you just need to go live on the 2nd floor and shop every day...
