I mentioned earlier that with the ARC trainer I didn't have any leg soreness. Yes, in a way that is correct. Thing is .... if you get back on the ARC trainer your muscles come out of hiding and scream bloody murder at you. They get really pissed off when you can't remember your level (which was 4) and you think it's 6. They are not happy. In the end you are happy b/c according to the machine (which can't be wrong) you burned over 500 calories. Woo hoo.

Later that day you eat everything in sight. Especially bad carbs.

You watch a swim meet for 2 hours and eat more carbs. (and an orange to offset soft pretzel) Long story short... my daughter rocked it!

Then you go xmas shopping. You finish your youngest child's shopping in under 5 min. Power rangers, cars and army combat men with their little guns and tanks. (which will be lost in record time Christmas morning)

Note to self: Buy dog a bone from the butcher so little tanks don't end up in poo for at least 24 hours.
