I’m back in the saddle again….I’m Back!
OK things are back on track. Good lifting in the afternoon is key, and so is jogging for a warm-up.
This morning I was ambitious and jogged 2 miles straight in 25:26. I walked the 4:34 to make it an even 30 minutes on the treadmill. From there I did 30 minutes on the lower body elliptical machine. I was happy with this effort today. I was also happy with my afternoon effort. I did a mile jog to warm-up and hit the weights. Again today I did squats and like yesterday I added a 5 pound plate on each side to up my entire workout efforts from what I have been doing. I also did this for the overhead presses.

I was wiped out after this. I was sweating and breathing hard. Booyah!
My eating today was good. I did not stray from my normal meals and kept my total calories to 2,091 calories. With today’s effort I expect to see the scale lower again, hopefully to where it was at before my weekend trip.
The meal today that really sticks out as the best was hands down, dinner. I cooked salmon and served it over a bed of lettuce and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. I feel energized from it. Excellent.
Tonight is a short update as there are some things I need to take care of before bedtime. Good night!
