I'm up late tonight waiting on Kim to get home from work. Tonight is
her dreaded "on call" coverage night. While waiting I might as well get
today's blog entry ready and posted.
After
my WI this morning Jumping Jack Flash & I had a nice 2 mile walk
around the very foggy lake. Afterward I made my way to the gym and
began with a 15 minute HIIT workout on the treadmill. I managed to keep
my run speed at 7.5 today without feeling tired during the rest of my
workout. Mom arrived just in time to train chest with me today. We
changed things up a bit and began with incline dumbbell presses. I can
remember the days when I used to press 120#'s in each hand. Today I
tentatively began with 70#'s in each hand. I worked my way up to 75#'s
for the final two sets. After the presses we moved on to the hammer
strength decline machine for 3 sets, then on to a different chest press
machine for 3 sets, next was the fly machine for 3 sets, and finally I
finished up with 3 sets of dips. After the chest work we returned to
the treadmills where I knocked out another 35 minutes. 80 minutes of
cardio for the day.
I
had a pretty good day eating wise. I did sneak and eat a bite of smoked
gouda cheese late this evening. Maybe that was okay since I didn't have
any olives on my dinner salad tonight. Breakfast began with lowfat
granola cereal, facon, a banana, and a slice of bread. My morning snack
was a Morning Star fake grilled chicken breast. Lunch today was a salad
and a fudge graham bar. My afternoon snack was a chocolate crunch bar.
Dinner (which I ate with Belle, the pug, instead of Kim since she had
to work late, boo!) was maccaroni and cheese with beef, 2 servings of
cauliflower with cheese, a salad, and a slice of bread. Dessert this
evening was a double chocolate almond cookie along with 2 cups of
Indian Chai Tea!
I
had thoughts of either staying up very late or getting up very early to
see/photograph the meteor shower that is going to occur early in the
morning, but since I just saw a shooting star I think I'm gonna go to
bed instead. If I stay up all night I will be useless all day tomorrow.
If I was somewhere it was VERY dark, like say a dessert somewhere maybe
I'd stay up and try to get a great view, but since I'm in the light
pollution capital of the South I don't think I'll worry with it. I
guess I'll just stay up waiting to make sure Kim gets home safely. Good
night all.
