Day 9 Friday April 23

Oh. My. Goodness.

If you don't know what the term DOMS is, let me tell you: Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness .. (DOMS). What does it REALLY mean? It means after a long workout, the stiffness in my abs, my calves, my shoulders and my feet. Seriously, my ankles look chewed.

Anyway, got myself going this morning with an awful long look in the mirror .. wondering "Am I getting to old for rugby, or WHAT?) But the scars and bruising on my left bicep look really cool, so we'll just say NO to that question for the moment.

I'm sorry to be so boring, but I had another steak and veggie wrap for breakfast. But a light one, as there wasn't much left of the steak AND today is Poetry Cafe.

Yeah, Poetry Cafe. I love that day.

Basically, once a module I get to eat in class and read poetry. It's a good enrichment activity in the classroom. At least people no longer associate poetry with boredom; now they associate poetry with yummy food. I'm sorry to say that I did not take a pic, but the fruit trays were awesome. Lots of melon, strawberries and grapes. Also, three or four things I had never tried before: middle eastern ravioli, some sort of dessert, some Doritos (which I really do love, but haven't had in a while) and samosas.

Let's do pause here for a moment. Click here for a wikipedia entry on Samosas.

Go read that. I know they are "bad" for me.... but there is just so much yumminess there. And it's for a good cause: Poetry.

I know that is just justification for another gluten-laden meal. Relax, I was kidding. I am also aware that as a part of my making myself "gluten aware" I am eating an awful lot of stuff that isn't helping me get to a better level of health.

DUDE! I just squished a BEE in my basement! Uggh! The one thing I can't stand about spring are the bugs... man! Thing was the size of an APC!

Right, for dinner had a veggie wrap (no steak left) and some water. Off to skating.

After skating, had a snuggle with my kids, put them to bed and then went back to the Y for a late night whirlpool to try and get my body a little less sore. Watched some NHL hockey for the first time this season and went to bed. Golf! Leafs Golf!
