Tuesday, June 30th

Today I received in the mail a product I had sleepily ordered off of an infomercial at 4 am -- the

It seemed like a decent enough thing, despite reviews about the company itself foisting one of those automatic-payment-monthly-vitamin-supplement-scams on the people who purchase it.  So I'll have to keep an eye on it for sure.

I did the intro and the 10-minute workout, which uses this 2 pound ball and the body's own resistance in a nice, simple, sort of fun routine.  It's of course difficult to work out in New York apartments - there isn't a lot of free space, and even finding a space where I can stretch up without hitting our gorgeous wrought-iron chandelier is difficult.

But overall, the workout was good, and I can still feel the ache in my core muscles.

I had lunch with an old friend at Sarabeth's, and I need to start learning how much I should eat when I go out.  I tend to clean my plate, even if I'm full! My friend who is 7 months pregnant only ate half of her omelette, and one of her four pieces of bread.

I, of course, ate everything! Even the sour cream!

Food

I did only have 2 meals today, though.  A spanish omelette, 2 pieces of sourdough toast, and tea at Sarabeth's.

Adam and I, strained for cash right now, had spaghetti with a homemade sauce with kidney beans in it for dinner.  I had two helpings, but they were both small.

Oh, and an apple.

Workout

I spent about 25 minutes playing DDR today, until I was too tired to be coordinated enough to play.

I spent 15 minutes on the Mitch Gaylord Resistance Ball




And now I'm going to play Wii Fit tennis!  Good first day!
