Day 11

Day 11 (Thursday Oct 11, 2007)

Today was another easy today. I finally got to try out the Iron Yoga DVD. I am a bit sore, but enjoyed the workout. It was my first attempt and I had issues with balance and with breathing, but think that after I have completed the workout a few times, I will be able to move from the beginner moves to intermediate. It is a little slow at times, especially listening to the instructor, but know that is he speaking slowly and softly because yoga is a tool for relaxation. Food wise I was surprised to learn that the Cesar salad at McDonalds has more carbs than one would expect. I would have thought it had around 5 or 6 without dressing, but in fact is has nine (2 carbs of which are from the marinated used to flavor the chicken). The dressing itself had four carbs. Because of the high count, I only used half of the dressing and did not eat the tomatoes. It also comes with carrots which seems strange for a Cesar salad, but the chunks are large enough to pick out of the salad, which is what I did.
