Thank you,

Never did get around to stretching or foam rolling last night, so a bit of a slip up there but today was on plan.

Food:

Meal 1: 2 egg omelet with italian style chicken sausage, onions, and peppers.

Meals 2 and 3: 8oz of 96% lean ground beef, 3 bags of frozen stir-fry vegetables, and 1/2 cup of rogan josh curry sauce.

Meal 4: 99% extra lean turkey breast, guacamole, romaine, and taco sauce rolled into a low-carb, flax enriched lavash.

3 cups of coffee with sugar free french vanilla coffeemate througout the day.

Today was a rest day so no exercise.

Hope to get to some static stretching and foam rolling work before bed.

Today was a good news-bad news day today. Food was not horrible but was definitely not on plan and definitely still showed that I have binge control issues. Luckily my binges are confined to healthier foods.

Plan was:
Meal 1: 2 eggs, buffalo chicken sausage, 1 cup of blueberries (this went to plan)

Meals 2 and 3 (half recipe each meal): Stir-fry veggies, 8 oz ground turkey breast, with red curry simmer sauce. (Not to plan) I changed the plan to a turkey rollup with an apple for meal 2 and that set off a fruit binge. 7...yes...7 apples later....anyway, I ended up considering the rollup as meal 2 and the apple binge as meal 3 and a snack.

Meal 4: Plan was for a turkey rollup. Since I had one for meal 2, opted for tuna rollup with miracle whip and romaine.

Meal 5: Plan to be some turkey pepperoni and some almonds before bed (I usually allow myself an extra meal on Friday and Saturdays as this is my weekend and I am under maintenance during the week and at about maintenance or a bit above on weekends).

Calorie wise and food quality wise, it is only a slight slip up, and actually very close to plan. However, the lack of control is disturbing.

Exercise:

Went to plan:

Warmup: (1 set of 10 each except where noted)
Scap Pushups
T-spine extension/rotations
Band assisted pistol squats
Plank circuit (front, right side, front, left side, front) 30s each
Overhead squat with broomstick
Med-ball cleans

Strength:
Deadlift:
warmup sets of 5 reps at 40%, 50%, and 60% of 1RM then
1x5 @75%, 1x5@80%, 1xas many reps as possible (6)@85%

Circuit (3 rounds)
A. Pullupsx10 (still switching to band assisted at end of round 2)

B. Hanging Knees to chest (a lot of rest-pausing on these). Haven't done these in a long time. Too long, apparently, I think I used to be better at these than I am now. I haven't done a lot of specific core work before this program and it shows.

C. Front Squatx10 (switching from cross-grip to clean grip so I went about 20lbs lighter than I normally would with the cross-grip). These actually felt really good, my wrist flexibility is coming along well.

Stretching and some foam rolling planned before bed.

Depalma, do you design your own programs?

Lemme try to remember what my program looked like last night. I should really write them dowm.

Leg extensions on the machine
4 sets of 10 squats with the bar, still working on form, but I think I got it last night
cable rows, supersetted with band pullbacks and sledpull (260 lbs)
landmine rows supersetted with incline dumbbell rows
There was something else I think but now I can't remember....not enough sleep in my life!

Today:
1/2 bagel w/laughing cow, protein shake
cc/berries/walnuts
tuna sandwich, bell pepper strips
protein shake, fruit
fish (6 oz), cabbage, some other veggie
run of some kind, maybe sprints at the track or park with the kids or 3-4 miles on the arroyo
