Stairs!

Here was my workout today:
7 minute jog on the Treadmill (warmup)
Stair running (2 flights) up and down 6 times alternating singles and doubles.
Step ups with knee lift on a bench out side
Ball squats with bicep curls (5lb dbs)
Single leg lunges (rear leg on physio ball)
Stair running (repeat above)
Tricep bench dips
Repeat ball squats and lunges
Stair running (repeat above)
Abs

It was a good workout. I used a heart rate monitor and was up in the 160s for the stairs and down to 110-120 during the strength intervals.

My Food plan for today:
Veggie omelette - 1 egg + 2 egg whites, tomato, mushroom, spinach + a little cheese
Herbal Tea with honey and lemon
cottage cheese and 1/2 apple
Big Salad - with protein and oil/vinegar dressing
Banana
Veggie and Tofu Stirfry - broccoli, mixed greens, cubed firm tofu, carrots, onion, garlic, hot chilli oil, soy sauce
cottage cheese 1/2 apple
Plus at LEAST 64 oz of water, but I'll be pushing for 80.

I'm hoping that the flushing with herbal tea and water will help keep the caffeine withdrawl at bay. I started the weaning process on saturday, and only had a single instead of a double latte... Sunday I had no caffeine other than the chocolate with no major ill effects, but for me its usually the second day that begins the pain... meaning today... wish me luck.
