Today’s Totals - Dec 4th, 2008

Well, I think I’m done for the day. I got most of what I wanted done, although I really need to start studying for my two Monday exams and the one on Tuesday. I should have started tonight, but just couldn’t whip up the enthusiasm. Oh well, tomorrow is another day. I still have classes for two of them tomorrow, so I convinced myself that I should wait, but that really was just an excuse.

Food for the day:

Total: 2308 (32% fat, 32% carbs, 34% protein)

Pre-WO: protein shake (158)
Breakfast: two fried eggs, cracked wheat oatmeal bread, clementines (457)
AM Snack: chocolate zucchini cake (156)
Lunch: whole wheat tortillas, mustard, smoked beef, apple (464)
PM Snack: soy nuts, almonds (297)
Dinner: chicken curry, bean/carrot blend, butter, salad w/dressing (500)
Late Snack: fruit salad, protein shake (276)

Strength Training - Dec 4th, 2008

I finally finished up the last of the weeks 4-6 workouts. I think it’s depressing how long they took. For the next set I’m going to actually try and do them in close to the 3 weeks they’re supposed to be!

I started off with 3 mins cardio (walking/jogging on the spot), the prescribed warm-ups, and then did:

It wasn’t a bad workout this morning, although I still struggle with the early morning times. I just don’t feel ‘with it’ enough, and so I back off on raising the weights. I got everything done afterwards that I needed to do except the flu shot. I realized that the nurse who is giving them doesn’t actually start work until 1:30 today (although she’s there until 6:30), so I’ll try and get it done on my way home from school. So I should be getting my lunch soon and heading off to school.
