Day 24

Last night my elbow ached every so often and this morning my shoulders and back are sore and I want to be lazy. In my pre-PCP life, I always gave myself rest days. But rest days didn't mean light days, they meant completely lazy days - and I miss them.

Food

Today my food fell a bit off schedule. I didn't want to eat before my workout, and puttered around for a bit, procrastinating, before I did it - so it was 11 before I had breakfast, and I was STARVING. I still felt hungry afterwards, but went to work on a project and then wasn't hungry again until 2, at which point I was only sort of hungry. Sigh. Then I was starving again. Totally out of whack today.

Breakfast

egg with charred poblano chili

chapati

cabbage (not really breakfast material, but it was there already cooked and I was lazy)

small, only slightly burnt croissant unearthed from the depths of my freezer.

mid-morning snack

forgot and missed

Lunch

squash soup

rice

steamed tilapia

mid-afternoon snack

grilled pineapple

Dinner

chicken and broccoli soup

Evening Snack

strawberry and peach and milk shake

Exercise

Had to push myself into it this morning, grumbling because I wanted to be lazy, my toes hurt (raw skin, probably from prancing around in the snow with wrong-size boots on), and so on. I began to feel back into it at about jumprope 700. My knee felt tight and sore after the squats but a half mile of light jogging on the treadmill loosened it up and it feels fine now. We'll see how it feels tomorrow.

That plank thing is a lot tougher than it looks.
