(Tuna salad plate for lunch)~
(Chow Mein for dinner last night)~
It is two weeks since I started the Spruce Up For Life fitness program and I am struggling. This old body just doesn't like jumping around like a mad thing! I did not even walk on the 5 week days last week. My hip hurts, my back hurts and my shoulder hurts. My muscles are stiff and ache. Gee, I am having a good pity party, aren't I?

We headed into Victoria for the weekend and cooked all of our meals instead of eating out. Dinner in Ruby - chicken skewers and salad (Sunday night)
~
Pan fried potatoes (microwave until nearly cooked then slice into rounds and fry in pan sprayed with oil)
~
Lettuce, tomato, cucumber and mango salad with Balsamic vinaigrette.
~
Lamb cutlets on the barbecue with the above salad and chips... so much better than a pub meal or a take away pizza! I munched away on fruit and nuts during the day when I felt hungry.

As far as healthy eating goes, I have been very, very good (see above). Apart from Sakata rice crackers (Seaweed flavour), barely a processed food has passed my lips. But I just hate the exercise because I know I will hurt afterwards. Don't get me wrong - I am not even over-doing it... I have been especially careful with my shoulder while doing light weight routines and Sheryl is not pushing me to do more than I am comfortable with. I walked yesterday morning (30 minutes) and today (probably 20 minutes because it was raining) - walking seems to be my exercise of choice - my muscles burn it's tolerable. I missed the Monday session because we were on our way back from Pt Fairy then didn't attend the free 'Step' class yesterday morning because, quite honestly, I detest 'Step' class and fail to see the point of getting frustrated with my 'unco-ordinatedness'. I have never played sport in my life and I guess my body likes it that way! When I exert myself, I hurt!

Okay, rant over. Back to the Thursday morning outdoor class tomorrow with a mind to participate as best I can. I will weigh in tomorrow and would hope to have lost another 1kg. Here's hoping!
