Owwww :-(

I am in pain :-(  Some of the pain is a “good” pain and some of it is not :-(  Some of it is the sore muscle pain telling me that I worked out and pushed myself which is a good thing, but I think I may have aggravated some of my lower back and shoulder injury soreness right at the top of the arm in the deltoid where it attaches at the top of the arm.  That pain isn’t the good kind.  Everywhere else is just the pain of a vigorous full body workout.  I continue to be astonished at how well yoga works your entire body.  It is so much harder than it looks!  Yoga aint for chumps!

I’ve been on Advil all day and plan on spending the rest of the night with my heating pad watching TV.  BAM! It’s so frustrating because right when I start to think that I feel “normal” again, like maybe I’m moving past my MVA injuries and that I’m not that different from everyone else trying to get into shape, I’m reminded that maybe I do need to be more careful in how hard I push sometimes.  I really am just a beginner with fitness and it’s such a hard balance to find my line of where to push and when to stop.

Oh and it sucked that I weighed-in this morning with a 0.8 lb gain too.  Poooey!  My muscles did feel considerably more hard and stiff this morning though.  Movin’ on and moving forward.  Better results next WI!

For  Breakfast I had the same mix of oatmeal as yesterday and loved every bite:

I did feel a little hungry around 11 and didn’t want to wait for lunch so I had a Snack of some whole grain crackers and a 60 cal Cracker Barrell cheese portion cut up into little squares:

Lunch was scrumptous :-)  I made a turkey sammie with some leftover turkey I brought home from MIL’s house with two small slices of whole grain artisan loaf, with a smear of cranberry and pomegranate brie topping, tomato and arugula:

And what was even better was a mini Strawberry Liberte No Fat Probiotic Svelte Yogurt topped with some PB2, strawberries, 1/2 kiwi, blackberries, blueberries and of course, pomegranate seeds:

I think my metabolism must have been revved up from having exercised pretty well for the last three days in a row, because I was hungry again for a Snack this afternoon, and I had a cup of Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane tea with 2 gingersnap cookies:

I got home from work and I had a tiny snack of these Cheez Puff Bakes (I really have to get better at this part of the day.  It seems like I always want to dig into a snack before supper!):

 

I then realized that I still had a serving of Saturday night’s shrimp ricotta penne leftover, so I heated that up with a sprinkle of fresh parm on top.  This was mostly veggies and shrimp and less of the penne:

It was super spicy from the feta stuffed jalepeno  and I decided on having a tofutti chocolate mint “ice cream” bar for dessert to “cool down my mouth:”

I was perfectly full after all of this, but I ended up feeling “snacky.”  You know the feeling girls, don’t ya?  Part of it’s in your head but part of it’s not?  I could have done a lot worse, but I satisfied it with finishing off the last bit of the Fox Hill Vanilla yogurt with pom seeds over top = soooo gooood:

And that was my day food-wise.  It was a little on the high end, so I’m going to lower it down a bit tomorrow.  Hopefully I’ll be feeling better to at least get an elliptical workout in tomorrow.

I’m off to get snuggled up to my heating pad and to watch House! Ta ta for now!
