Well, we’ve managed to drag our fat asses out of bed every day this week to do our half hour workout. It’s not much, but honestly, it’s all we can handle at this point. We do 15 minutes of treadmill and 15 minutes of core training with the ball.
It ain’t Oprah’s workout, but it’ll do for slugs such as us! I hope to work up to the Boot Camp workout in time. Really, the big thing we don’t have is a treadmill you can run on. Ours is a manual treadmill for walking. It’s even difficult to do a light jog on it because it’s short and non powered, which makes it very awkward to do anything that has a long stride.
The no alcohol and no carb thing has been going very well. We still have toast in the morning, but otherwise it’s all low carb, low fat. It’s amazing the volume of veggies you can eat when there are no carbs in your diet! Oprah’s afternoon snack of an apple with hard cheese and some almonds is amazing. It works so well that I wasn’t starved at dinner time yesterday!
We even saw Star Wars Ep 3 Revenge of the Sith with NO popcorn yesterday afternoon and it was ok! W00t! The movie was excellent, by the way. It definitely makes up for the botched Eps 1 & 2.
All in all, it’s been a busy week here at Casa Mizgala. We look forward to a quiet weekend of gardening and perhaps firing up the grill.
