Sigh, the day is already over. I’m trying very hard during my summer break to not slip into my late night habits (as they’ll be way too hard to break again). The getting up 5 days a week between 7 and 7:30 is helping. If it’s dry tomorrow morning I’ll walk (on my own), if not I’ll use the treadmill. We have a leak in the pool and the pool guy is coming to diagnose it (ie. tell us how much it’s going to cost us). The thing is I know the leak is not in the liner (that would be easy - I’d let the water level drop and/or get my snorkel mask out and look for it). We’re only dropping water level when the pump is on, so it’s one of the underground lines. Yep, the ones under the concrete surround. Not really an expense we need this summer, but I don’t think running the pump part-time and topping up the water daily is the solution.

Food for the day:

Total: 2275 calories (25% fat, 38% protein, 37% carbs)

Breakfast: breakfast bake, cracked wheat oatmeal bread, jam, orange (355)
AM Snack: beef jerky (108)
Lunch: beef minestrone soup, italian cheese bread, apple (440)
PWO Snack: protein shake with sour cherries (281)
PM Snack: hummus, flatbread (164)
Dinner: orange pork, grilled veggies (zucchini, onion, mushrooms), salad w/dressing (620)
Evening Snack: fruit salad, protein shake (307)

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: Deadlift - 70t/15, 75/15
B1: Step-up - 15e/15, 15e/15
B2: Dumbbell one-arm shoulder press - 22e/15, 25e/15
C1: Chin-up (assisted/attempts) - 15, 15
C2: Reverse Crunch - 20, 20

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

53 mins, 385 cals, Max HR: 168 (95%), Avg HR: 128 (72%)

The workout was better than the last time. I’m still struggling a lot with the step-ups (not sure why).

What a crappy day out. It was kind of mix of mist, rain, pouring rain, etc. I did 30 mins on the treadmill this morning instead of walking outside. I really haven’t done that much today. A quick run to a store this morning (for a sale item they didn’t have yesterday), made some meat sauce, cut up and froze chicken parts, and did a little laundry. It would be nice if the weather went back to ‘not raining’ but we’ll see.
