dontcha hate it when you accidentally hit the back button and lose an entire entry ...oh well, take two -

light lifting yesterday - more circuit type lifting due to the light weights, hit a heart rate in the 140s by the time I was done.

cardio video earlier in the week on the advice of my chiropractor to help build stability in the hips

a couple two hour (total time) commutes on my motorcycle which do a lot to tighten up the hips, thighs and side abdominal muscles (analogous to riding a horse, I think) Not a traditional workout item but since the physical stress is out of the ordinary I do take it into consideration w/ other workouts so as not to overdo anything at this point.

Improved eating/shopping - looking more at labels - the 96% lean ground beef only has 4.5 grams of fat compared to the 72% lean I bought last time with 30 grams of fat per serving.
I'm also trying to reconstruct the salads I used to have at work everyday - so far I've got the regular lettuce, spinach leaves, sunflower seeds, sweet peas, broccoli, low fat shredded cheese, eggs and some smoked turkey meat along w/ fat-free dressing. oranges, bananas and apples make up my fruit consumption.
