Angel Food (lowfat)

I survived finals week, although my diet has been waaaaack-y these past few days. I was so busy working on assignments yesterday that I forgot to eat until the evening. By 6pm I was starving. I’m proud to say that I ate fairly reasonably yesterday night, despite my utter lack of food for the day. And, I needed to be reasonable after eating two meals of Mexican food earlier this week. (My body paid dearly for those meals…)

 The most terrific news of the week is that I am finished with my finals! I am but one class away from graduating next semester, and the class I’m registering for should be a piece of cake. (Speaking of cake, I had a piece of Burnt Caramel Cake this afternoon. It was worth the calories, especially with a good cup of coffee.) I have not yet figured out just what I will do with my evenings free. I know I must return to the gym, but tonight I don’t want to do anything more strenuous than about half an hour of yoga.

To use an American Southernism I feel “all stoved up” from finals this week. My body could use a good stretching. Perhaps tonight I will dust off a yoga DVD and ease back into working out. I recognize that, despite losing pounds, I have lost pretty much all muscle tone this past semester. Now that my school commitments have abated, I want to come up with a do-able work out schedule. Yoga is the one exercise I truly love to do, and I do it well. (I have my eye on a regular Monday night yoga class.) But, I also need to strengthen my legs to help with an old knee injury, I’d like toned arms and abs, and I know that my heart needs cardio. How does a working person fit in all of these types of activities without them becoming her only hobbies? Also, how do I do all the exercises that my body needs without ending up exhausted and decrepit feeling? Just some questions to the blogging ether…
