Wed 7 Jan

Tried the new Stability Ball workout tape this morning but it wasn't very invigorating. She did have a couple of moves that were very challenging, but I probably won't use that one very often.

I suspect something in the new exercise video was not so good, at least I may not have done it with proper technique, because around 11:20 am, my lower back suddenly screamed at me. Hope that subsides soon.

I made the Moroccan stew recipe I sent to you earlier this week and it is delicious. Perfect cold-weather, warm-your-innards food. The raisins give a nice unexpected flavor burst.

Did the bedtime yoga series which stretched my sore lower back nicely. Some ibuprofen at bedtime and I hope it's fine tomorrow. I'll take the morning off from exercise to be safe.

Food:

7:00 am 3/4 c Maple & Brown Sugar Life, 1/2 c skim milk, half grapefruit, cherry juice from concentrate, coffee
11:45 am Chocolate soy shake, slice 7-grain toast, 1 tbl nutella, medium naval orange
4:00 pm 1/4 c pumpkin spice trail mix
5:45 pm 1 1/2 c Three-Bean Moroccan Stew, 1 Pillsbury cornbread twist, 1 tsp soft margarine, 12 oz light vanilla soy milk
7:45 pm 2 Almond Lebkuchen clusters



Exercise:

5:05-5:55 am Method Stability Ball Workout video
7:10-7:35 pm Evening yoga DVD
