Day 2: Perma-headache

One of the things I dislike most about trying to be careful about what I eat is the headache that invariably follows. What can I say, I like carbs and I feel much better when I eat them. Of course, "they" then respond with "a moment on your lips, a lifetime on your hips", so I guess a few days of headache will be ok in the long run.

PT got cancelled due to weather today. Yay lightning! So I went swimming instead (it's indoors)

Day 2 Workout -> Swimming!
Swim: 2000 meters (40 x 50m...it's a big pool)
Push-ups: 18 (not great, but after swimming for about an hour, I didn't have a lot left in my arms...I'll do better tomorrow)

V/r,

Shine

  1. are you using Push-up bars? They help you learn more range of motion in your push-up so you know you'll break the 90 degree limit. They're pretty cheap to if you don't have a set.

  2. I'm not using them but I probably should. I've heard that you can also use weights in a pinch and those have the added benefit of not tipping over like the bars do

  3. Yeah, anything that gets you a couple more inches

  4. Yah...the weights with octagonal ends work pretty good for this kinda thing - it helped me to push-ups in physical therapy; I like the 10-15lb ones because they aren't too high off the ground. Keep up the hard work chica! :)
