I bought packets of dried seaweed so they're thin sheets made for snacking.

No walking today. I'm pretty wiped out from yesterday (30 minute walk and went to work for an hour session). I also didn't sleep too well because I tried sleeping without my garment and it felt good in some respects and not good in others.

Breakfast: egg scramble, cherries

Snack: protein shake

Lunch: peanut butter and maybe jelly on a tortilla, protein pudding

Snack: cheese and fruit

Dinner: chicken satay w/peanut sauce, salad, chocolate milk

It was really good to get out of the house and see my friends at work. Also felt good to do my job again. My session lasted a little under an hour and I was absolutely pooped while I was driving home.

i agree you should call and ask the doctor. i'm guessing it means no whole corn kernals. not to get gross, but tomatos and corn are both things that sometimes go through the works whole - maybe sometimes those chunks get stuck in the works while making their way through? maybe on the colonoscopy they are hard to distinguish from the things they are looking for, like growths?


hope no one is eating their breakfast while reading this!

i'm really excited about my new balance-based workout. it's much more fun than lifting weights and it is like a cardio interval workout at the same time. i'm sore today, so it must be effective. plus, i have the bosu and the reebok core trainer all to myself - i don't think anyone else uses them!


i'm going to go to yoga tonight, maybe skate before class. i didn't make it outside yesterday. i don't think i'm going to go to the gym today. i've been so headachey lately - i think it's the weather.


i really have

What are you doing for the balance based workout?

damn you, I was eating! :P

This morning I have an appointment with the psychiatrist, then I am going to get some groceries, drop of a resume at a gym (http://exclusivelywomensfitness.com/ - Burlington location), have lunch with bf. This gym is convenient because I will probably be getting a job at a music school that's in the same strip mall! too bad it's women's only which is fine for working at but I won't "join" there b/c I want to work out with my bf when we move in together. After lunch, I have a job interview at another music school.

Breakfast: blueberry yogurt
Snack: wrap sammich, olives
Lunch: greek salad, bbq chicken pizza
Dinner: cold WW spaghetti w/veggies and peanut sauce, viet cold rolls w/shrimp

i did:


(mostly everything in sets of 12 reps)


1. high jumps on the BOSU (trying to get my feet as high up in the air as possible - training for learning to ollie. this gets my heartrate up very high too)


2. squats to side leg lift with standing leg on BOSU


3. lunge with front leg on BOSU to knee up, 12 on one leg and then 12 on the other (this gets very hard to balance as you get tired - it's great!)


4. simultaneous squats and shoulder press while standing on reebok core trainer


5. weighted lunges off back of reebok core trainer


6. tricep dips with hands on reebok core trainer, feet on floor


7. bicep hammer curls and bent-arm lateral shoulder raises while standing on BOSU (too easy, want to try on flat surface of BOSU)


8. pushups with hands on flat surface of BOSU


9. hamstring bridges with feet on bosu, first both feet and then alternating one foot at a time


10. balance on stability ball on knees


11. pushups with knees on stability ball, hands on floor


12. crunches and isometric abs on stability ball


13. practice pop ups


then a couple of minutes of stretching


wow. i didn't realize i had done that much. it doesn't really take much time to do it - each exercise only takes like one minute. the only equipment i used was a BOSU, a reebok core trainer, a stability ball, a floor mat, and a pair of 10lb handweights.
