Well, the weather held enough for a swim, so I don’t feel so bad about not baking. We have a storm warning (again with potential tornadoes), although unless it is multiple storms it might have passed by already. I’ve got most of the sauces from yesterday frozen and bagged up (just a little bit more to do before I go to bed… or in the morning if I decide to be lazy).

That was 80 mins today.

HRM: 417 cals, Max: 143 (80%), Avg: 115 (65%)

I probably shouldn’t have pushed up the FS/PP weight as I really truly struggled on that last set. Form-wise they were pretty pathetic. Somehow it became more about making 70lbs which isn’t really the point. I think it took a lot out of me and I felt like I was struggling through the rest of the workout. And when I finished I noticed that the HR numbers were lower than I would have thought. Funny about that sometimes - you feel like you’re dying and you can’t be because your heart rate never got that high. I never seem to have that problem on HIIT days.

I’m also running late today. It was dark and cloudy when I got up, and this always seems to slow me down. Breakfast was late, lifting was late, and it’s pushing 2:30 and I haven’t had lunch. So I’m off to fix that now. Still haven’t decided what I’m going to do for the afternoon, but the sun is out, so it will probably be outdoors!

Well, now that I’m cat free I’ll put in the information from yesterday.  One of the cats was demanding attention. This wouldn’t be a problem but he was chasing the text and the mouse pointer. Since I’d lifted him off the desk three times already, I gave up!  I was just pretty tired last night and didn’t want to wait until the cat got tired and went away. Anyway, I got the jam made (just a little over 14 jars) in the morning. That’s the one thing I’m really happy about - the calories for the homemade jam is lower than the generic jam calories in FitDay. I’ll still likely use the generic jam entry, however, it was one thing I wasn’t sure about that I take a couple of times a week. So far all the jams I’ve made this year have been about 9-10 cals a Tb lower.

I also got both sauces made, but like expected, didn’t get the pizza shells made. If the weather is poor this afternoon (as forecast) I might do it then, or push it off until Saturday. We’ll see how the day goes. I didn’t sleep that well last night (too interrupted) and I’m starting the day with low energy, which isn’t a good thing.
