Workout report
Elliptical: 25 minutes at incline 1 and resistance 1, slow to moderate pace, and I STILL managed to pull a muscle in my left calf. 200 calories burned - I quit 5 minutes before the 30-min mark to avoid really screwing myself up.
Arm/Torso machine: 10 minutes on medium-high resistance. 50 calories burned.
Treadmill: 10 minutes at brisk walk (2.5 on the monitor), which actually helped my calf to feel better. 50 calories burned.
After the workout, I went and washed my car, which of course is upper body workout when handling the soap brush and keeping the power wash hose nozzle depressed. Wheeee!
I really need to clean the inside of my car - not that it’s too messy - it’s just that the upholstery hasn’t ever been cleaned and so it kinda smells like old lady in the car.
But first, I’m recharging with breakfast. I ran out of strawberries, apples, walnuts and almonds, so instead of my usual fruit salad, I blended up yogurt, flax seeds and flax oil, honey, cinnamon, a splash of vanilla extract, a splash of orange juice, and a splash of vanilla almond milk. I’m eating 2 fried eggs on top of two gluten-free waffles for protein.
Note to self: pay attention to how you feel after eating the eggs, as they are suspects in a plot to murder you, along with other known killers; caffeine, wheat, yeast, corn syrup, beans and cow milk.
January 6, 2009 Edit: Sorry it took so long to get back to myself regarding the eggs…what happens is I get racing heart, itchy and anxiety/panic attacks within an hour of eating straight up eggs. I can eat eggs mixed into stuff, like in gluten-free baked goods. But eggs by themselves cause a reaction. I stopped eating eggs on their own permanently sometime around November, 2008.
