Week 25 Day 5

HILLS!

So today is Friday and the wife and I went for a little jog.  We were out for 50 minutes and during the last mile we had to jog up this huge hill.  This is the hill that people walk their bikes up.  My wife was amazing she powered right up it.  I made it and felt better than last time  but it still kicked my ass!  But in a good way.

Work was on the busy side and I was home in the garage weight lifting before I knew it.

overhead presses from the ground
78.8lbs-10,8,8,7

overhead presses from the shoulder
78.8-10,10,10

body weight only deep squats
25,25,25

curls with EZ-Bar and 58.8lbs
8,8,8,8

dumbbell concentration curls (each arm)
35lbs-6,6,6

I got in, showered and working on dinner.  I enjoyed the fish earlier in the week so I picked up some salmon, broccoli and sweat potatoes.  I pealed and sliced the potatoes thin and pan cooked them like thick potato chips.  I sprinkled some salt on them to help contrast the sweet flavor.  Dinner was a hit!

The chips were so good my wife insisted I make more of them!   That is high praise from my better half.  My day ended with me being calorie heavy for the day.  I consumed 2,346 calories.  I am looking forward to seeing the scale tomorrow.  If I did not lose much or if I gained any I will need to eliminate a break snack out of my day or give up one of my 2 fruit servings at lunch (or both) to keep me at the lower calories.  I do not have it in me  or the time in the day to add more workout time into my schedule. let us see what the scale says tomorrow.
