Today was another weird one. Not to gross folks out but I did not have my normal morning Bowel movements. I did not go by lunch and that is very off for me. I should have been on number 3. To get back to normal I took a serving of exlax. Two hours later and still nothing. Not even a stomach gurgle. So I took another half dose and hoped for the best. Stomach activity began but no real progress. This situation also caused my PM workout to not be great. On the way home I picked up some apple cider and had a glass. within 20 minutes I was back to being active. Five times in 1 and a half hours! I was not feeling stuffed and constipated but now things are flowing I feel less anxious and more myself. Now that I got that out of the way I can give a breakdown of my two workouts today.
My morning workout was 30 minutes on the Stair stepper machine followed by 30 minutes on the recumbent exercise bike. I feel this bike does the least for me of all the equipment I can use there but it does give my leg muscles a good workout, and I really felt it after squats yesterday.
My afternoon workout was 10 minues walking at 10% incline at 3.0 mph. I lost 5 minutes of this warmup time to a bathroom break. From here We broke from the normal routine and went with Bench press (I did dumbbell BP yesturday) Triceps pull downs, Triceps curls behind the head, and standing curls with the EZ-Curl bar. My stomach was going in full effect so I did not want to do more and my buddy’s back was sore so he was looking to skip the overhead presses and dead lifts today. I think it worked out for both of us. I can not wait to see the scale in the morning!
My eating for the day was all normal stuff. My total consumed calories for the day was 2124 cal. This is right where I should be, so life is good.
