Sucker, Television, and Yoga

I'm a sucker for several things:

1. Cornrows
2. Manicured toes
3. Fendi capri pants
4. Cupcakes

And the cupcakes my friend/co-worker, Lindsey, makes are awesome. I ate three and regretted it the whole time (and loved them the whole time). Then, I went skating for a couple hours (built up a great sweat but who the hell knows what kinda calories a skate sesh burns?!).

What next? Fast food, of course.  Well, not bad though. I picked up a Subway Veggie Delight sub with no cheese and all the veggies on their 9 grain with oats bread. In fact, I've been adding up some calories everyday and I'm not taking in over 2,000 each day despite the fact that I'm not going hungry at all. In fact, it seems that, once you cut out the fried foods, most of the meats, and eat whole food ingredients, you really cut down on the calorie count.

Television. It seems that the brain rotting boob tube is actually a great exercise tool. Huh?!

Well, doing yoga on DVDs is the obvious first point. I am finding that I like to do my post-run cool down as a yoga workout. It stretches all of those muscles back out and feels great.

Secondly, let's see...I love British Mysteries, and I can easily watch three hours of British Mystery shows in one night. So, to give that a healthy twist, I now lift weights while watching them. I felt a little stronger this week so I upped my weight to 40# each dumbell and I did an overall upperbody workout (2 sets of each exercise listed below):

Military Press
Tricep Press up
rows
bench press
flyes
concentration curls
shrugs
push ups (using the dumbells as push up bars)
