"now raise your arms to the sky. breathe deeply"

i tried a yoga DVD today. its about 34 minutes. a lot of stretching, lower abs, lower back, working on posture and breathing, stuff like that. i felt pretty goofy doing the exercises. i checked my blinds a few times to make sure they were closed all the way. "now tighten your buttocks", the instructor kept saying. ha ha ha! how am i supposed to relax when she is saying funny things like that huh? i was sore and tight from yesterday's leg work so some of the stretching was tough. overall its a good way to stretch, breathe, and tighten the buttocks. pilates seems more advanced, maybe i will try that sometime soon too.

i did my 3 mile run this morning. i ran the hill twice and almost puked, but not much else to report. i'm tempted to just keep running up and down that hill until i puke. maybe next time.

i made this salad today all on my own. shrimp, light honey mustard dressing, mix with salad, eat. it was good and filling. i bet it was less than 200 calories. this is about as complicated as i gets for me (i'm impressed with myself when i'm able to make a steak in the ge0rge foreman).
