Oops, I just looked at the time, and I think that’s me for the night.  The exam tomorrow is at 8:30am, so I’m going to do an early evening and an early morning.  I do my lifting in the afternoon, afterwards.  So today’s food is really an estimation.  Although I recorded (after the fact) the cookies I ate, there was definitely some picking while baking.  Although, that’s why it’s good to do these things on a week that you’re not really counting calories, right?

Food for the day:

Total: 2703 (31% fat, 41% carbs, 26% protein)

Breakfast: bacon, egg white omelet with cheese, lemon ginger pecan bread, jam (713)
AM Snack: none (0)
Lunch: turkey sausage sauce with whole wheat pasta and parmesan cheese, orange (688)
PM Snack: cookies (235)
Dinner: turkey/beef burgers, whole wheat roll, condiments, salad w/dressing (782)
Late Snack: protein shake, pomegranate (285)

So, 1 more exam down, and 15 dozen cookies made.

Yep, that’s 15 dozen (two kinds). They are little cookies though. And boy, even little they pack a lovely calorie count. I made chocolate crinkles (46 cals) and fruitcake drops (50 cals). Tomorrow I’ll make two more different kinds (including one I’ve not made before) and then I’m done for the season. My mother will make shortbread and mondel bread (think Jewish biscotti) and that should be the baking for the holidays done. Then it’s just a case of giving it all away.

Food for the day:

Total: 2622 (35% fat, 34% carbs, 29% protein)

Breakfast: bacon and eggs, lemon ginger pecan bread, jam, clementines (682)
AM Snack: protein shake (210)
Lunch: beefy barley soup, honey oat bread, chocolate zucchini cake, orange (706)
PM Snack: cookies (192)
Dinner: chicken curry, bean/carrot blend, butter, salad w/dressing (497)
Late Snack: tortillas, cheese (338)

Note: the food looks better than it is. There should definitely have been some additions of cookie dough, but in the end I just worked out the final calories based on the number of cookies that made it in the oven.

(from earlier)

I’m on a roll this week, even though I should be studying. I figured even if I didn’t do a workout there was little chance I was going to study.

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

Power Training - Strength Training (weeks 7-9)
Workout B1 (2 of 10)

1: One-arm Dumbbell Snatch - 35e/5, 35e/5, 35e/5, 35e/5
2: Forward Lunge - 55t/5, 55t/5, 55t/5, 55t/5
3: Romanian Deadlift - 160t/5, 160t/5, 160t/5, 165t/5
4: Side to Side Push-up - 5, 5, 5, 5
5: Bent-over Row - 140t/5, 130t/5, 130t/5, 130t/5
6: Dumbbell Alternating Press - 35e/5, 35e/5, 35e/5, 35e/5
7: Negative Chin-ups - 5, 5, 5, 5
8: Seated Russian Twist - 25t/5, 25t/5, 25t/5, 25t/5
9: Four-point Plank - 45sec, 45sec, 45sec, 45sec

Total time: 75 mins
HR monitor: 485 cals, Max: 159 (89%), Avg: 124 (70%)

I backed off a little on the dumbbell snatch since I wasn’t sure I could do 20-reps with the 45-lbs. I think I was right. The forward lunges are sad, mainly because I’m not used to doing them with a barbell. When I was doing them with dumbbells it seemed to help my balance. Not so much with the barbell. The side to side push-ups were sad, but they’ll hopefully get better as I go.

That’s the quick and dirty. I’m probably going to leave for the college soon. My exam isn’t until 3:30pm, but I’m definitely not studying at home, so I’ll see if I’m any better there.
