Gotta keep trying, eh?

Yeah but isn't cottage cheese a combo too? Maybe just not the right combo.
 
I didn't eat much today, I didn't really have time, and we don't have a whole lot of "grabable" food. I kind of ate a lot of cheese too
6:30am - Roll (homemade) with honey and 1 oz of mozzarella
10:00 am - Shredded chicken (made with onions, tomatoes, and jalapenos) on two corn tortillas
2:00 - A (very underripe) banana and 1 oz mozzarella
5:30 - Hunk of oatmeal bread and 1 oz mozarella (It was the only non-carb food I had lying around)
10:30 - Yogurt

I felt good today. It's sleepytime now.
 
Well I had a stab at valiant gym-gowership. Central Indiana is covered in snow right now, about 18 inches I think, but I still got up at 6 to go to the gym. The truck was covered in snow, and the parking lot hadn't been plowed but I was all like "Old me would have let this be an excuse!" So I dug the truck out and pushed it out of the parking lot. It didn't occur to me that with the entire city being under snow right now that they probably wouldn't have had time to plow little ol' Stop 11 Road and I almost immediately because stuck. Well I called Manda and told her I wasn't going to make it, because I was stuck in an intersection. I managed to push the car out and into another apartment parking lot about half a mile down the road. I debated on trying to turn around and go back, but it is still pouring snow and other cars were getting stuck so I just left it there and walked back.

I'm a little bummed I didn't get to go to the gym, since I got up at 6, but classes are cancelled today so if the roads clear, I can still go later. Turns out pushing a truck around and walking a half mile in 18 inches of snow aren't terrible workouts anyway. :)

nice, I wonder how many calorie you burned from all that? I do admire the spirit.

Thanks! I don't know, but I think I should get extra credit because it was 6 in the morning and snowing and I was wearing shorts.

A good number of people I know would love to have a (planned) car pushing workout. So you're ahead of the game.

They should drive my geo, I have to push it all the time, haha.

Well prospects of going to the gym are slim to none. The whole city is on shutdown, haha. So I guess I will resume pumping iron tomorrow and count this as my rest day instead of Sunday. Now I'm off to join the neighbors, they're sledding on the plow piles in the apt. complex.
 
ahh.. gotta love the daisy dukes.

Thanks for the post, now I remember why I am living in Cali. :)

Happy winter.
 
I always complain about winter, but I think if it was gone I'd miss it. Or not.

I was bad today. Bad bad bad. I didn't get to the gym, and I had pizza and chips. Bad.

6:00 - yogurt
12:00 - Spinach breakfast burrito (spinach, eggs, cheese, tortilla)
3:00 - Pizza (at least it was homemade)
6:00 - Some chips
10:00 - cabbage rolls.

Guess I better kick butt tomorrow.
 
They still haven't plowed stop 11 road, but I did get to the gym today. Mr. AC Muscles was anxiously awaiting my return. Did the usual. I think my rectus is getting better, but I'm going to give it another week or so.

I had sugar crash today because I ate five lifesavers. FIVE LIFESAVERS! Pathetic.

Cable rows: 3x10@55 (woo)
Bench press 3x10@45
Cardio: Elliptical 45 min w/30 sec. sprints.
 
Oh Focus there you are. Whew! I was getting worried. Yesterday I don't remember what I ate. Well yes I kinda do. My brain is going, like for realz.

6:00am - Yogurt
10 ish - cabbage rolls
2:00pm - a delicious burger (made with lean ground beef) with a portabello mushroom and onions.
around 5 - a banana and 1 oz of cheddar
Throughout class - buttercream frosting. I had to taste it as I was going about flavoring it but I tried to keep it to a minimum. I would estimate 2 or 3 tablespoons at the most.
11:00 - the last of the cabbage rolls.

So there's that, I'll try to be more precise. I don't know what my deal is but my brain is everywhere right now. Going to the store today. Hooray food!
 
I'm so pumped about this food I'm eating because it's delicious. It's chicken breast with spinach and mushrooms on whole wheat pasta, and then instead of sauce I just threw some diced tomatoes on there.

Anyway

I didn't feel good this morning so I slept in and went to the gym just now. I had a great workout though, when I was doing cardio I felt so good I just kept going for another 15 minutes. As soon as I got in the car though hunger hit me like a brick to the face. My stomach was actually audibly growling. I don't think that's ever happened to me before. I was like, "shhh, body...just let me drive home and mama's gonna feed you real good."

Oh! And I was doing squats in the power cage next to this guy doing squats at the squat rack and he was doing like, a million pounds and grunting, and I was grunting too, but only doing 45 lbs, and I was like, he's gonna think I'm an idiot, but then I was like, well it doesn't matter, I'm working as hard as I can and that's what matters. But then we got done at the same time and he gave me sort of a "good job" nod, and I returned it. It was a cool moment.

Squats 3x10@45
Deads 3x10@55
Cardio: 30 min elliptical w/30 second sprints, 15 min steady pace
 
Today's food:

11:00 - Yogurt
1:00 - Turkey sub
4:00 - Cottage cheese with blueberries
8:30 - Aforementioned chicken pasta food pile

Is it really already 11:30?
 
Are the dark olympic bars heavier than the shiny ones? Feels like it.

Cable Rows: 3x10@55
Bench press: 2x10@45, 1x7@45
Cardio: 35 min w/30 sec sprints
 
Weighed in just now, down 1.5 which puts me at 178. 7 lbs total. Off to the gym.
