A break is ok, but I didn't really want one. Plus, my food schedule was way off because of everything going on, so I ate lunch at 3, dinner around 9. Bah.

PLUS the woman we fired took two hours to clean out her desk. It was pretty clear she was taking as long as possible, but she was our CEO's assistant, so she knows all the members of the board of directors. Even on her way out, not a lady to piss off.

Good news, we have found a new (and really good, I hear) 3B, so no concerns about my arm. I'll still try to do some work on it, but now it's not as pressing.

Arch, I ordered the sup you suggested. I'll let you know how it goes. Ironically, my shoulder has been feeling better over the last week or so. I'm wondering if the light OH squats are actually helping a little. It's still a bit cranky, but better for sure. Hopefully the new sup, with whatever else I'm doing that helps, will make a big difference.

I went with tabs. Easier to push down as needed at work. (Plus, that was the link you sent me. )

Had my cheat day yesterday...soft pretzels from Gus' (I'm betting Archie and DoubleD know it) stuffed with salami and cheddar, then broiled to melt and crisp them up. Plus birthday cake, brownies, and a few frosty cold adult beverages. Good times.

Followed up with a good day of clean food, capped with a pretty tough 30 minute, double hill bike ride. (Simulated of course, but still tough!)

Wait how old are you? My dad says stuff like that lol. I've never heard of stuffed pretzels is that mostly a northern thing?

North? Son, Missouri is always thought of as a southern state.

Actually, my brother-in-law claims he invented them. I have a hard time believing it, but I've not seen them anywhere else. But boy, they are tasty!

Busy at work, and my Friday is already booked, so I knew I would only get to lift twice this week. I decided to go Tuesday-Thursday, so tonight was cardio. Did a good 30 min, 4 hills. Good times.

You're the hill monster! Do you have a real bike too- hill repeats on a bike are fun too. Nice job.

BTW, I'm shocked I lived through last night after making a horrible decision. I stayed up to watch Iron Chef America. Why is that so bad? Because it was the peanut (and hence peanut butter) episode. My favorite was the stuffed french toast filled with a pb, cream cheese and honey mixture, topped with concord grapes in a pinot noir reduction. I know what I am having for breakfast come cheat day. (But I'm pleased I managed not to go on a pb binge after watching it.)

Lifting day...

WU - OH squats SS hang clean - 65x10/10, 85x10/10

Circuit 1
Squats - 225x10
incline DB bench - 40sx15 (way light)
skulls into cg bench - 50x15/15 (also too light)

Circuit 2
Squats - 225x10
incline DB bench - 55sx10 (much better)
skulls into cg bench - 70x4/4 (should have gone to 60)

Circuit 3
Squats - 135x10
incline DB bench - 30sx10
skulls into cg press - 30x10/10

I added the 3rd circuit as I mentioned before, cutting the weight more or less in half and going for speed. It's a nice little capper, I have to say.

I love the OH squat/hang clean combo for warm-ups, but I may not do them in front of squats next time. That 225 felt really heavy.

I also over adjusted on the skulls in the second circuit. Should have gone to the 60lb rather than make the jump to 70. Oh well...

I got a real craving for beef tonight, no idea why. So I stir fried some flank steak in a little sesame oil and garlic teriyaki sauce, then tossed with a bog of frozen veggies. Hit the spot!

Well, it's always a good option, but I haven't been in quite some time. My lunches have been more about gym time, so the only food I have time for is either a salad or something else I brought with me.
