“The Morning After”
So how did I feel after an exhausting weekend and 5 hours of sleep last night? Not horrible. We went out and did a neighborhood jog for 3 miles. No timing, just a nice easy pace. Both of us were suffering from sore leg muscles and that feel ing stayed with me all day.
Work was demanding today. I had the pleasure of drilling through a thick brick wall with a 50 pound drill and bit. It was quite the arm and upper body workout. It was enough that we took turns drilling.
My PM workout was a dumbbell weight lifting routine. I did dumbbell bench presses, DB incline presses, DB flies, incline DB flies, assisted pull-ups, seated DB shoulder presses, and standing over head presses with DB starting from the floor. I this routine in 60 minutes which is shorter than usual. I skipped DB overhead triceps today and I did one or two sets less than ususal. The drilling had worked me so I was not trying to over do it.
We had the most amazing dinner tonight! Steak with portobello mushrooms (in honor of the knuckleheads that ate the poisonous mushrooms from their yard and almost died!) over a veggie stirfry. We had asparagus, carrots, white onion, elephant garlic, green and red peppers and red cabbage. What a meal.
Afterwards I had a bowl of grapes as desert. I consumed 2,396 calories for the day. I hope to tighten up my meals again and get back to 2,200. The biggest problem I have is not tracking what I eat right after eating it. I have been catching up at the end of the day after eating my food for the day. I will work on changing this up to keep me on track better. I used to be able to do that at work when I had regular computer access, right now I don’t.
