Day 2–Stairs Will Hurt Tomorrow!

This was a weird day.  I’m still getting over my sinus infection and I didn’t sleep very much.  So after getting my husband off to work, I went back to bed and didn’t get up till 11:30!!  So that threw off my whole schedule.  I still managed to squeeze in a workout–a real one this time.  I worked hard in my workout and that felt great–even though I hated every second of it.  I did well with my food but not so great with my water.  I drank a lot of water, just not by the “rules”.  I made a lot of food yesterday so I had leftovers today.  Here’s what I ate and what I did:

My cat thinks I’m playing with her when I exercise in the living room.  This photo was during my floor-work and stretching yesterday.  I guess this is her interpretation of sit ups.  🙂
