Today’s Totals - Jan 20th, 2009

Well, from the the mental list I made yesterday:

1) lifting
2) bake bread (running low)
3) work on autocad drawing (other homework done)
4) 60 mins on the treadmill (this is a maybe)

Did all except the autocad drawing. I found some other work to do (typing up notes and such), and worked on some of the statistics assignment (have to be done before some time in February, but don’t want to leave it too late). I’ve got three hours free tomorrow and the cad lab is free, so I’ll work on it then. However, I know I’ll likely have company … and they’ll have lots of questions. It can sometimes be a little draining, but I’ll survive.

The good news is that our class got changed on Friday, so my last class ends at 1pm (after an 8am start though). Of course, the guys think this is good because we can go to the campus pub early. I decided I will probably go, but maybe not every week. This week I managed to do an hour of cardio today, and I’ll be moving/stacking wood on Saturday, so I can skip a Friday workout. However, what I might do is move cardio to Thursday morning next week, and then lift on Friday afternoon. I really do prefer to lift later in the day.

Other than that I feel like a bit of a wreck tonight. My right elbow is definitely twingy, more painful on twisting motion more than anything else. And for whatever reason my left foot is sore. It’s a good thing that it’s bedtime soon!

From the HR monitor (for the cardio):

60 mins, 421 cals, Max: 152 (86%), Avg: 131 (74%)

Food for the day:

Total: 2294 (28% fat, 37% carbs, 35% protein)

Pre-WO: protein shake, zucchini spice cake (266)
Breakfast: egg/egg white omelet with cheese & salsa, honey oatmeal bread, jam, clementines (543)
Lunch: lamb barley soup, honey oatmeal bread, apple (382)
PM Snack: carrots, hummus (178)
Dinner: beef/turkey burgers, whole wheat roll, condiments, salad w/dressing (695)
Late Snack: protein shake, fruit salad (230)

Total time: 75 mins
HR monitor: 387 cals, Max: 140 (79%), Avg: 110 (62%)

So I dropped the weight on the RDL, which did help me towards the end of the workout. I’m still having pain in my right elbow, mainly when I straighten it. The odd thing is that it didn’t hurt while doing the snatches, or the presses. Although it’s bugging me now, but not enough to stop doing anything. :P

I’ve got my bread started, and now I should go work on my AutoCAD drawing…. we’ll see!
