Supper was a can of mustard greens with apple cider vinegar, a handful of macadamia nuts with salt, a handful of unsalted almonds, and a bunch of pumpkin seeds. Call it a cup or so.
Did some leg lifts while lying on my back. I can hold my legs up at a 33° or so angle for about fifteen seconds. Need to work on that.
Lunch today was about three ounces of the best kimchi in the world. Sanja's mild, available at Whole Paycheck, but oh so good. The garlic and ginger are an amazing combination. Since I was getting pretty hungry from skipping breakfast for the physical, I also had a can of pink salmon (5oz), about four ounces of sweet yellow cherry tomatoes, and one of my self mixed bags of nuts.
Now that the physical is over, I'm definitely feeling relieved. Georgia's DOT physical is a little more intensive than North Carolina's. Not that I had any doubts about my ability to climb a ladder or lift 25 pounds, but I was sure that with a witness involved I would screw it up somehow.
Trying to get my blood sugar down for my physical today, so no food till after lunch other than about three tablespoons of coconut oil. Also took a couple ounces of apple cider vinegar and a couple cups of bilberry tea.
The hotel has a fitness room, so a little elliptical and Bowflex is in order before heading over to the occupational health center.
Staying at a pretty nice hotel tonight. It has an indoor pool and a whirlpool hot tub. I splashed around for about twenty minutes and it seemed to help some soreness in my shoulders from karate.
Attended a karate class with my brother and had a lot of fun. Here's hoping I can do it again the next time I have a Friday off.
Like, a month from now. Sigh.
On the advice of my gym rat little sister, I've started squeezing my stomach muscles as hard as I can while still breathing and holding it as long as possible. The still breathing part is important, because I don't want to.pass out behind the wheel.
Managed to get in about ten minutes of walking in during my federally mandated half hour break. Go me.
