Today was my day off, so no workout was required today. My mom woke me up to invite me to go out for breakfast at 9am. I would have, but I had went to sleep that morning at 6am! Somehow. I haven't had such deep sleep in over a month. I had this movie poster over my bed and when I woke up it was on the floor. It probably fell off the wall and hit me on the head and I didn't even realize it!

I ended up finally waking up after 8 hours of sleep and we went out for lunch. After this we went furniture shopping and I ended up buying a new recliner for my living room. I've always wanted one. I have a nice leather sofa (I won't buy leather now if I can avoid it!), but it's just not comfortable anymore to sit in for long periods of time. It was at first. I must have sat in every recliner they had and ended up going with one that was $429. The only reason I bought it was because someone today paid me back when they borrowed from me.

After shopping and picking out the one I wanted I also went to Art-van to see what they had. Their prices were better...as long as you went to the clearance section. Everything else was about the same as Lay-Z-Boy without the sale prices.

I sat down in perhaps the most comfortable chair out of every one I tried. It was a gliding rocker that rotated and reclined. The only problem is that it was leather and $999! I'll pass on the thousand dollar chairs. I'm going to use it for what...2 hours a day? I don't need to spend 1k on a chair. To begin with..I should be more active and sitting down less. I'm now convinced the one chair I purchased is the most comfortable for the price.

I think the best deals on a recliner is at Sam's Club. I don't know about the quality but I didn't have a truck to haul it to my house. The ones at Sam's were name brands. Same as what's sold at Art van. The recliner I saw at Sam's was $349. Not bad. I also don't know how they can sell a leather chair that's so huge for $399. I mean this thing was extra wide.

Today I again ate very healthy. Nothing too bad, but one small mistake during the day. For dinner I had a Salad with fat free dressing. I'm so stupid. No wonder I was starving 2 hours later. Thanks to that I went to Subway and got a veggie pizza. I figured that it was Subway Pizza and that it would be ok. I even asked for light cheese. Turns out this thing had 750 calories and 25 grams of fat. That's not terrible for a pizza really. I probably ate more of it then I should have! I ate the Pizza at 7pm and got hungry again at 1am. I went that long without eating and didn't even realize it. That pizza kept me going for awhile I guess.

My muscles don't really hurt today. I guess I need to work out harder on my next workout. What's stupid is that my dumbells broke. How do dumbbells even break? I have some of those overpriced Bowflex dumbbells where you rotate a dial to use them. I've had them for over 2 years and have now finally put a use to them. Well guess what? A plastic piece broken and I can't use them at the 10lb setting. I'll probably just get a bunch of super cheap ones at wal-mart. It's weight and they don't need to be anything fancy. I can probably pay like $6 for a 10lb dumbbell at wal-mart. I doubt any place else can beat that price. I bought all my Olympic plates from them and it was the best price out of anywhere in town. I think I paid like $13 for the 25lb plates, but I don't remember. I definitely need more plates so I don't need to swap them out.

I also need to pick up some protein powder. As a vegetarian it's going to help out a bit. I want to try to make sure to get some without sugar. The EAS brand has like 15g of sugar in it per scoop. Add that into milk and it's going to be like drinking Kool-aid. The way to do it is to mix the sugar free protein powder into water and then add a tablespoon of heavy cream. People do this to add in some type of fat (some fat is good) without adding in bad carbs (sugar). I don't need any of the overpriced Meal replacement stuff. I can get by fine with plain old food for now. EAS Myoplex was the best tasting brand, but I may need to go with the lite version. I'll probably aim for 2000 calories a day. I did 1500 in the past to lose 87lbs and that was crazy and maybe a bit dumb. Yet I felt fine all day...somehow. Back then I had no idea 1500 was waaaaay too low. Yet the bowflex manual suggested it for MEN! For women it was like 1200(!!).

Anyway, it's getting late. I did some work today, but this weekend will be mostly days off. Tomorrow afternoon I will do another workout. I mentioned my muscles are not sore, but my joints near my elbows are killing me! I can't fully extend my arms without pain.

Today was a very, very good day overall. No lack of energy at all today, other then for a few minutes about 2 hours after eating that salad. I felt like I was starving. I'm going to do my best to have a good day every single day no matter what. I'm not going to let bad things get to me. If things start going bad I think I can change that. I've found ways of turning a bad day around.
