Day off

So we did take yesterday off after all.  But then, we were discussing doing so anyway.  I had printed out a workout schedule some time last week that had Wednesday being a day off, probably because of it being the middle of the week and all.  But since we have a tendency to get Papa John's take out pizza for only $7.00 on Tuesday's we decided we'd have Tuesday be our day off and the "free" day as well. 

Years ago we were going to try this Body for Life program which gave one free day to have whatever you wanted food wise and no exercise.  The concept was so you wouldn't feel deprived with not being able to eat your favorites the rest of the week.  Plus it gave you something to look forward to the rest of the week.  We did it for about 2 weeks.  I had told him I needed him to help me with the healthier dinners if we were going to do it.  But since he didn't I rebelled and we had one too many dinners that weren't as healthy as they should have been so it was abandoned.  I hate cooking.  Although nowadays it doesn't bug me as much as it used.

So, although we're not going full on Body for Life we decided we'd still do the free day.  It was good anyway because as the day wore on the back of my left knee just got worse and there was no way I'd be able to either of the machines.

Today it's not as bad though so I'll be getting back on the elliptical (at least) before we head out to see The Woman in Black with his mom.
