So, apparently 7 am is bad for waking, but good for exercising. I slept in late this morning, so I didn’t get to the gym until 9. Boy was that a mistake! Every treadmill was taken, so I had to face off with my dreaded enemy, the elliptical.

I don’t really like ellipticals; they aren’t all that much better for my knees, and I can’t control the pace as well. I hauled on that thing and kept my heart rate around 160 for 22 minutes, finishing about 2.2 miles. I couldn’t make it the whole 30, but I wasstill pretty happy with it.

What really surprised me was the stretching, which has greatly improved in just one day. Monday I could reach my ankles, but today I could actually stretch and touch my toes with my fingertips.

The food, today, though, wasn’t nearly as good as I thought it would be. I skipped breakfast, so I ended up eating my breakfast as a side with lunch. I chopped up some cucumbers, strawberries and green onions, and added that with walnuts, feta, baby romaine, baby spinach, and lite raspberry vinagrette for a pretty hefty salad. Unfortunately, it didn’t taste so great–either the chives didn’t jive with the rest of it, or I just don’t like feta as much as I thought I did. Either way, I muscled through it, but I’m not looking forward to eating the rest of it all =___=
