Day 17? That right?

Yesterday was my day of rest so not only did I not work out I ate whatever I wanted, which wasn't too bad with the exception of the double handful of sugar cookies at church. I promptly fell into a sugar coma on the drive home and had achy joints for the rest of the evening. You think it would be enough to deter me wouldn't you? Sadly, if I didn't think they'd make me expand like a balloon animal I'd be still be eating those darned things.  But that's in the past...

Today:
Began the day with exercise.  Half hour of step and snowball fights then a half hour run.  Today was the first day I've managed to run "5 miles" in a half hour.  I was panting and pouring down sweat and that stupid little machine only gave me 3 out of 4 stars!  Whatever. 

I then began  working on tricep extensions, but instead of the Wiimote I used a 15 pound weight.  20 reps might be a bit much at that weight for the ol' triceps.  Using the same strength training routine and weight I worked on bicep curls and then lifting the weight straight above my head (what would you call that shoulder extensions?) and the weight was about right for those exercises. 

Went about my day with full vim and vegor.  Felt good enough to run another half hour this evening, but kept it at a light pace.

Foodwise I had a weird day. It wouldn't have been so bad, but I was making pasta for Fox and the boys and I poured the sauce over the warm pasta and cooked it a bit to really get the sauce to adhere to the pasta and realized I should have kept some sauce apart to pour over my spinach.  Too lazy to do anything else I ate two low-carb ice cream bars and called it good.  Sometimes, ice cream for dinner is what you gotta do.
