Since I was "injured" and couldn't lift weights I did something else instead and use my treadmill. I used the "Fat Loss 1" setting and after 10 minutes realized how out of shape I was. In the past, it'd take me half way to break a sweat, not so this time. I started feeling the burn in my legs within 10 minutes. This program keeps changing speeds on you and will constantly change the incline from 1 to 6. I think 6 means 6", but i'm not sure. I wasn't even running and it was a pretty good workout. I'll get better each day for sure. The arm pain is a big set-back.
I ate well today again. Had a few temptations. The worst thing I had was a Smoothie at Barnes and Nobles. It had 260 calories, 5g of fat and 30g of sugar. Zero High Fructose Corn Syrup though and 15g of protein. The only problem is that it had about 50g of carbs I believe.
Overall my mom and I thought they tasted bad, but are fairly healthy and much, much better then eating ice cream or potato chips!
For lunch I had stir-fry with Tofu in it. It was alright, but nothing special. It amazes me that some restaurants can charge you $9 for ONE bowl of vegetables and tofu. It was not even a lot of food. It's one place I think is way overpriced so I don't go there often.
For dinner I had one of those Veggie Patty subs at Subway on wheat bread and no mayo, cheese or oil. No cookies to go with it either! Not even any chips. I HATE those baked lays. Usually if I need a desert I will get the apples they sell there.
After lunch though I was walking around Wal-mart and was looking at dumbells. Right then and there for about 15 seconds I felt really hot and like I was going to throw up. It went away fast and was very, very strange. I think the tea at the restaurant did it. Very strong tea messes with my stomache.
My arms were in a lot of pain today. I had to walk around with my hands in my pockets a lot because I could not fully extend my arms without extreme pain. That's not good.
I had a ton of water today. Before 3pm alone I had about a half gallon of water down. Later on I went through a 44oz water and another 20oz before that. To say the least, i'm getting enough water! This should speed up recovery. I'm also getting enough protein also.
I'm really hoping i'll be fully recovered tomorrow. If not, I have a small problem and will find it hard to work. Something obviously went wrong and I don't know what it was. I guess my body is not used to very heavy free weights.
