I had no idea how badly I was constipated. I knew I was not pooping like I normally would, and I felt no pain or discomfort, but WOW! I sure got cleaned out last night after taking 1.5 doses of Exlax yesterday during the day and a glass of apple cider once I got home.
It is amazing the difference a day can make. I feel better seeing the scale now. Today was right back to where I have been at working out. In the AM I did 30 minutes on the elliptical machine then 20 minutes on the stair stepper and I had a good sweat going. I ate well all day but missed my morning break meal due to work assignments. Not a big deal, I ate some of the snack food with my lunch. The afternoon gym time was great as well. My buddy was back today so we started on the treadmill. I walked 10 minutes at 5% incline at 3 mph the did 5 minutes at 10% incline. It warmed me up without over working my legs.

My legs were trembling from the deep squats on. I still feel it in my legs 4 hours later. I hope I can walk tomorrow.
Dinner was an easy meal tonight. My wife and I had aleft over chicken breast that we added to a vegetable stir fry made with Portobello mushrooms, cabbage, and red peppers. We each had a large bowl of salad that we topped with the chicken and stir fry. I added 1/2 serving of almonds to mine. We each packed a salad and stir fry portion for tomorrow to have as lunch. We both felt like we needed some more protein so I heated some Quorn Fake chicken nuggets. I mixed some honey with mustard as a dip for the nuggets. Dinner turned out great.
It is time for bed, so bring on the sleep!
