Monday Squats and such

Carrying on my exercise regime, I did a quick five minute bike before a quick five-minute speed walk over to my buddies house to do weights on Monday night. 

Squats

4xbar(45lbs) 8 reps each

Harder than it looks when you go to a good depth and slowly. 

Bench press

1x45

1x65

2x95

6 reps each

Solid effort on all and just managed to finish the last set. 

Quick trot home to stretch. 

Sunday

Forgot to weigh in this morning. 

Had a big walk with the husband and dog. It was beautiful out. 

Got some groceries, and will be prepping my food for lunches this week. 

Spent a good 40 min raking leaves, moving rocks around and digging up some dirt mounds in the back garden. I am beat. 

Weights tomorrow night. 

Keeping the momentum!!!!

Sat workout done

Nothing too crazy. Farmers walks (weighted bar in each hand) - 80lbs each hand.

Time to get the rest of the days activities started.

Merry Christmas

To all! 

My gift to me today was the start of a new habit. 

Bike - 10 min

Body weight squats - 2 sets of 7

Not much but it's something. 

Exercise!

Finally. Back at it!

First day back in the gym to lift weights today.  It felt a lot better than I remembered. Which is no surprise it's so good for you to get exercise.

My buddy has a home gym and lives two blocks from us so I'll be going over to work out with him three times a week. I used to come and work out with him all the time, but that was presurgery.

My legs are like noodles now! Feels good.

Water

at some poin I'm going to have to stop drinking under 1L of water a day and start looking after business...

Dec 21 - 243.6

:( 

I'm miserable, but can't stop eating the garbage.  So many negative things rolling around in my head. 

The Rules

Just a reminder to myself.

1. eat protein first (60 - 100g a day)
2. eat veggies second
3. eat bread last
4. eat slowly, chew well
5. stop when I'm full
6. No drinking while eating - wait 30min after eating

I've been neglecting the protein
I've been eating too quickly
I've been having the carbs first
I've been eating 2 or 3 more bites PAST full

I went back and read over my first months worth of surgery posts.  It was a nice trip back down memory lane.

Today is a work lunch - sushi - so that will be good on the protein side and I'll have mostly sashimi.  Tonight is a party with old friend.  Old friends that eat a LOT and its "treat night".  So I'm planning on taking an eggnog latte with me - which I love - and that is my treat. I will NOT be eating anything else. 

This is still a lot of calories for today, so if I'm not hungry - I'll be skipping the mid afternoon snack.
