Oh well, it had to happen. No blog for three days. I have been too wiped out, more mentally, but physically too. I just could not face doing those workouts. On Wednesday, I did none because I went out to the theatre to see Love Never Dies. I had too much to do before I left and then was tired when I came back.

On Thursday, I did ICP reassessment and PC and on Friday, after needing to go out, by mid-afternoon, I just had to sleep, for a couple of hours. Then I decided to do something that I don't mind - my Wii cardio for 16 minutes (step and small jog.)

Now today, I somehow feel I have a bit more energy. I did DB Matrix (actually in dribs and drabs while I tended to my husband's shower - lunges in one room, weights in another). I repeated each of them, but not in sequence. I still cannot get my legs over at all. I used to be able to do this, with quite a bit of momentum and arm help. Maybe I'll build up to it again.

I have also done Pyramid and this time had 50s to spare. My best yet. I have left PC until last, as I know that as the day goes on, I would not be able to face pyramid.

I know Dax recommends not weighing oneself every day, but I am addicted. For the last three days, my weight has been trending back down again after the blip up to 130.5 and today was 129.4 lb. Pretty good! And so it should be as I have stuck to the ED. Yesterday, I bought in some silver beet and cooked it up with mushrooms and onions to have with a piece of salmon. The veggies were nice, but I overcooked the salmon, so it was a bit dry. I made my husband some baked potato and pumpkin to go with his dinner, and it sure smelled good. Strong little me - I did not even have a taste.

This morning for breakfast I had lovely scrambled eggs - this time with organic butter and almond milk - with avocado. The butter made them so much nicer than the olive oil I usually cook in. Then I was still hungry, so had to have some celery and smoked salmon.

For snack I had a few nuts and by mid-afternoon - lunchtime, I started to feel hungry, so had smoked salmon, avocado and lettuce.

Now I have completed PC (50 reps and 20 walkouts) and had dinner: spinach, onion and mushrooms with veal steak (a bit tough - I bought it on special).

I did cardio with the Wii, two basic step and one free step. Took 16 minutes.
