It was kind of a weird, boring day today. The weather sucked - cold and windy, but it still hasn’t rained. There were a few drops about 7pm, but not the deluge we’re supposed to be getting. I’m trying to figure out how I spent the day. I walked in the morning, made the breakfast bake fresh this morning, baked zucchini spice cake, mowed the lawn, wasted a lot of time (read for a while), finally did my workout (pretty late in the day). Not a bad day, but I think (like the cats) I’m a little stir crazy being stuck inside.

I’ll set the alarm for the usual time tomorrow but I think I’ll probably end up doing my walking on the treadmill (although we’ll see). I’m planning a little more baking tomorrow (chocolate zucchini cake), some shopping, and then who knows what.

Food for the day:

Total: 2268 calories (26% fat, 34% protein, 40% carbs)

Breakfast: breakfast bake, cracked wheat oatmeal bread, jam, orange (355)
AM Snack: beef jerky (108)
Lunch: multi-grain tortilla, mustard, eye of round, lettuce, apple (438)
PWO Snack: protein shake with sour cherries (281)
PM Snack: hummus, flatbread (231)
Dinner: spicy meatloaf with roasted potatoes, broccoli, butter, salad w/dressing (580)
Evening Snack: fruit salad, protein shake (276)

NROL - Break-in A4

So, I did a 5-min cardio warm-up on the treadmill, followed by 10 reps each of the prescribed warm-up (except for the t-push-ups - can’t do them). Then I did:

A: Barbell Squat - 55t/15, 60t/15
B1: Static Lunge - 22e/15, 25e/15
B2: Two-pt Dumbbell Row with Elbow Out - 25e/15, 27.5e/15
C1: Push-up - 15, 15
C2: Swiss-Ball Crunch - 20, 20

Then I did the metabolic overdrive intervals - 3, with 5-min warm up and cool down. (19 mins total)

51 mins, 383 cals, Max HR: 170 (96%), Avg HR: 130 (73%)

The workout was pretty good.  After yesterday being so beautiful the weather switched to cold and windy.  So the cardio work was all inside on the treadmill today.  I did walk outside this morning - with a jacket on!
