Good to see you Mikey. Hope you are feeling better.

OK, no cardio last night. Maybe tonight. Just too damn sore. I forgot the whole "take it easy your first week back" mantra. Oh well...

Yeah, feeling a little better today. FINALLY got a full night's sleep, which helped.

Got in 40 min cardio last night too.

True dat. I can't bring myself to leave the rack after squatting less than 200. It just feels wrong...

Yeah, well, today the diet was OK despite my intentions. Got going late, missed breakfast. Lunch was out, ordered a really good french dip on a grilled parm bread, but the salad and sides were all onion enhanced. Dinner was a chicken breast and baked beans (homemade, not too nutritionally desructive.)

I've got some kind of eye strain, causing a little swelling, but got drops today. Should be OK in the morning, planning to lift tomorrow.

Dang...it was getting better, but I just poked myself in the eye!

I've been kinda draggy, plus the new job is keeping me really busy. I plan to lift tomorrow, then softball in the evening. Should be a good set up for weigh in on Friday.

Got into a mini-binge tonight. At dinner (grilled chicken and veggies) but wasn't all that hungry. Later at a bowl of cereal (special K, I think. It's the wifes...) and 3 ice cream bars. They are the blue bunny SF/FF 50 cal each version, so minimal damage. If you haven't had them, you should make it your job to get on the outside of one soon.

Despite my intentions, no gym and no softball today. Got busy, then got rained out. Oh well. Did 45 min on the bike. Weigh in is tomorrow (which I will use for the comp as well.)
