[11.12.11]

sweeeet Saturday.

Got up & made oatmeal pancakes with Mom & Dad for the family. Had tons of fun doing it.

Helped Dad put a cork board up on my wall, and then spent quite a bit of time getting the TV mounted on the wall in my room. Lots of laughs while being productive. :) Thanks, Dad!

Headed to the gym here in a bit ...

My hip is really bothering me just walking around the house. Will try and get to the chiropractor on Monday, and get some new shoes early this coming week.

Plans for exercise will include the elliptical, and no running, yet. :( Kind of bummed about that.

Exercise log:

60 minutes on the elliptical - 6.1 miles - 714 calories (hip tolerated WELL)

30 chest press

24 each arm - triceps

24 each arm - biceps

Food log:

• One oatmeal pancake with pure maple syrup
• One orange
• Small serving of butternut squash (baked with coconut oil)
• Some home-roasted pumpkin & butternut squash seeds
• A few corn tortilla chips with roasted red bell pepper hummus
• Small red potato with butter & plain Greek yogurt
• One organic free-range roasted chicken leg
• Brussel sprouts - steamed & sauteed (at work)
• Raw almonds & walnuts (at work)
• Blueberry Larabar (at work)

I miss coffee today. A lot. Not because of the caffeine, but because it's rainy and dreary out, and I want some yummy coffee with cream & sugar to sip on ... end self pity party. :)

Oh, and I miss Charlie. An extra bunch today. I finally plugged the PS3 into the TV that we mounted today, only to find a Netflix DVD in it - the Dexter Season 5 disc that Charlie & I had been working on ... the night before he left. :( I miss you, handsome.

** Side note: I had horrible junk food cravings immediately following my workout. I seriously got home and wanted to eat everything in sight. But I didn't. Note to self: Eat more PRIOR to workouts. This is a must. I got a little too shaky towards the end of my workout and on the car ride home. Lesson learned.
