Come on weekend, get here quickly, please!
It is funny how often we need rest time for when we return from vacations. This weekend of travel and activity has me worn out and it is only Wednsday. I predict some good sleeping this weekend.
I got up this AM feeling tired but looked foward to getting to the gym to get soem cardio going. Allergies are starting up with both myself and my wife. I have not taken and medications for it but I have been sneezing and coughing some phlem. I hope it will pass quickly but who knows. My honey is having a tougher time of it. OK back to the gym… So I decided to do 15 minutes on 4 different pieces of equipment. I did the treadmill, stair stepper, elliptical and bike. I had a decent sweat going and my joints did not take alot of abuse.
I was pretty good with my eating today. I ended heavy on calories, 2,334. Not really bad but still over 2,200. This had to do with me having some pasta in my tuna salad today and dinner had some ramen noodles also. That was another 400 calories that I do not always have in my meals. Dinner was well worth the bump in calories and carbs, take a look:
That is steak, asparagus, ramen noodles and some of the water from the noodles, the seasoning pack and some teriaki sauce. It was great!
Before I had dinner I went to the gym to get some additional exercising in.

The jog was really tough after having done 6 sets of squats. I do not think I will be doing that order again. I feel like I had a really good workout, my total body feels worked. Tomorrow morning is a jog date with my wife if the weather allows. Who knows how far we will be going.
I am on track to be in bed 1.5 hours earlier than I have been able to for a long time, here’s to getting a good n
