Day 64: another great day



Status - damage control
Mood - good
Water - 3 liters

Day 64 of 112

A quick post for today because I have to wake up early tomorrow in order to get a good run in.

Weight:

Back = 40 weighted pull-ups (10 lbs) + seated row (180 lbs) (4 x 8-10)

Legs = 5 x 10 full length squats + dumbbell, 1-arm hang clean (10 x each arm)(3 sets total)

Core:

60 incline sit ups
50 knees up crunches
50 medicine ball rolls

Cardio:

Saved for tomorrow since legs were done today. Don't want to over-train and ware myself out.

Nutrition:

I didn't get more than 3 meals in today. I wasn't all that hungry, which is such a surprise for me.

And the goods:

This afternoon my diet collapsed, haha. I made lemon cheesecake and chocolate nut cookies.

I had such a craving !!

BUT, the recipes were very healthy, trust me :-)

The cookies contained a few scoops of protein powder and about 2 cups of unsalted nuts. And instead of using regular sugar I opted for splenda, which is the much better choice in terms of its caloric density. Yea, I knowww, empty calories are empty calories. But hey, this is the weekend of my B-day and I wanted a few cookies ! I don't feel guilty at all, haha. Well, maybe a little.

Whatever ! Both desserts came out great. According to my roommates the cookies were tasty. I haven't tried the cheesecake yet because the ramekins need to set and cool overnight. Sometime tomorrow afternoon I'll throw together some all-natural strawberry topping for them. There was a sale at the store, and so I have plenty to use, haha.

Tomorrow: morning HIIT + shoulders (YESSS)

Catch you later,

--Jay
