Dave was out late operating a new to him model railroad last night so I didn’t make it to bed by midnight. Which means I slept this morning until 10 am. When I got up my body immediately announced its displeasure with yesterday’s exercises. Today will obviously be a recovery day.
But, I must say I am so proud of Dave. About 3/4 of the way into last night’s op session he discovered they were serving Oreos and M&Ms, two of his favorite foods. He didn’t eat any! He didn’t stop on the way home to get treats either! He waited until he got home then ate half a leftover meatloaf burger. Yay, Dave! Until then I didn’t know how committed he was to this program. I’ve been trying hard not to push him so I am thrilled to see him push himself.
At breakfast time today I didn’t feel like expending a lot of energy so settled for a leftover meatloaf burger and a banana. Still healthful and tasty.
For lunch we had chicken thighs we had baked previously, leftover roasted squash, and more salad with dressing. Still easy, healthful, and tasty.
For supper I had another chicken thigh, olives, grape tomatoes, and ranch dressing to dip the tomatoes into. Finished off that batch of ranch dressing so have to decide whether or not to make more tomorrow.
I also spent some time putting carrots and zucchini through the food processor for later comsumption then needed a rest before cleaning up the kitchen. My poor body does not know what to make of these demands on it. It is used to spending most of its time sitting at the computer or in my recliner. I had planned to start a walking program now, too, but apparently that was a little too ambitious.
But the program guidelines saying most people feel like they are hungover on day two so I guess I’m glad to have just a few muscle aches.
TTYL,

A few muscle aches now = Great results later.
It’s always good to have a partner when you decide to do something like this. Good for Dave. Well, good for you too!
Those meatloaf burgers sound good. I like the idea of the water chestnuts in them. 🙂
