Soreness Status:
Leg pain has died down to a dull roar, but triceps, shoulders, and chest are beginning to clamor for Icy Hot after first Max-OT session. Spiffy!
Workout Update:
Tai chi and cardio went fine this morning. I’m still using the same old interval speeds of 4.5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.5 mph, but I may try a slight increase next week if the Max-OT leg workout doesn’t take my legs out like the Oxygen workout did this week.
Other news:
I finally freed my new baby from its box this morning–It’s a lovely Dell Dimension 8400 with a Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz CPU, 1 GB RAM, 16x DVD+/- RW, and an admittedly lame ATI Radeon X300 128 MB graphics card. Still…I got it with a free 17″ flat panel and combo scanner/printer at a very decent price, so I’m not complaining.
Other women buy themselves a new wardrobe or a spa makeover when they lose weight.
I hook myself up with a kickass new desktop computer system.
Whee!
Food Report:
I tried one of the EAS Myoplex Carb Sense Apple Cinnamon bars I got from Vitaglo yesterday, and I must say that I have not had anything quite so very vile since EAS discontinued their incredibly nasty high protein Cookies and Cream bar a while back. Both bars have the same waxy white coating over a particularly barfy protein core that bears absolutely NO resemblance to the flavors in the names of the bars. “Carb Sense Unhardened Epoxy With Sawdust And Unnamed Chemical Binder” would be more apt as a moniker, believe me.
I had to brush my teeth and chug down 4 cups of water to get rid of the lingering flavor in my gullet.
There’s no way that I’m going to give the extra box of these bars to my mother who is trying to revamp her diet. One bite and she’d go right back to eating Rice Krispy Bars from Sam’s.
I hope the Myoplex Lite Blueberry Cobbler is better, or I’m going to be very put out.
