Absolutely delicious
I was really in the mood for a burger tonight and still wanted to be good. So I ran to the store and got super lean pre made burgers at 145 calories each. I grill onions and get a dinner roll. I then baked sweet potato fries for my side. At TGIFs it would be 1500 calories. This was awesome and about 500 calories.

Apple Watch vs Polar vs RunKeeper
It is a cold, damp, rainy day in Melbourne today and I can honestly say that if I wasn't so excited to test out my new Apple Watch... I would have definitely skipped my run today. But, I did have my new watch so I went for my first run in two weeks after being down with the flu.
My original plan was to wear both my Polar and my Apple to see what the calorie burn was on both, but since my Polar strap broke, I couldn't find it. So, I was going to try and run both RunKeeper and Apple at the same time to see what happened, but the RunKeeper on my watch wouldnt work without my iphone being in my pocket. FORGET THAT! The whole idea is to not have to run without the big iphone.
Size - Score big for Apple over RunKeeper. Having just the watch instead of carrying the iphone around is a big plus.
Display - Score big for Apple of Polar. The beautiful display keeps track of your heart rate, distance, time AND when I started walking after my run, gave a split time of run vs walk.
My next goal is compare data with the three programs but so far, this is an expensive but awesome workout tool.

Sloth
It has been almost two weeks since I have done any exercise. (I am not counting Tuesday night tennis. Since I lost 6-2, 6-1, it wasn't much running!!!) :)
I am still stuffy head and nose. I am giving myself the day off tomorrow, but Saturday is a run and Sunday is a workout.
My diet has been varied. Sometime I craved comfort food and sometimes I wasn't hungry. Being sick just really throws you for a loop.

Sunday Weigh In
I can honestly say.... I don't know what the scale said today! Everything was so screwed up. And I am sick. And dehydrated. I'm calling it 230 and lets leave it at that.

How Sore is Too Sore?
This is the question I have had for awhile but it came full circle again today when I could not move out of bed. I am still ridiculously sore from my Monday workout. I am hoping it is better tomorrow, but when do you work through the pain and when do you just let your muscles heal?
I did two things wrong on Monday:
1 - I did a workout that I hadn't done in a long time and pushed, pushed, pushed.
2 - I didn't stretch afterwards!
They say day two is the worst, why is that? My body definitely felt the burn. So, when do you go back to exercising? I hope the answer is tomorrow morning! :)

Speedy is NOT my middle name
1 April and I have FINALLY moved to DAY 2 of the ab challenge. That is correct! I have done three months of DAY 1. I just need to go at my own pace.
Day 1 was: 15 situps, 5 crunches, 5 leg lifts and 10 second plank.
Day 2: 20 situps, 8 crunches, 8 leg lifts, 12 second plank.
I can feel it already. I do think I could push it a little bit harder, but I like going slow.
On a separate note, being the first of the month...I did my measurements. Everyone had been saying how good I was looking and I believed it. The measurements were exactly the same.
Frustrating.....
