Spring Training - Pylon's Journal V4.0

[Brutus_G]

You only have faith because you can't see my dinner.

Cheat meal time. Tutto mare, spinach artichoke toasted ravioli and some nice bread. Mmmmm....

Im starting to hate you....but i still love you!

 

[Triple Threat]

What am I??? Chopped liver?!?

DD, best not incur the wrath of Darth Angel, lest a smiting come your way.

 

[Pylon]

Im starting to hate you....but i still love you!

If its any consolation, my gut tends to pitch a fit after a good cheat meal. It's already a little wonky. I'm gonna try to settle it with some caramel praline crunch ice cream...

Feeling sick? Eat some ice cream. I gotta remember that.

Technically it was frozen yogurt. It may not have settled my stomach, but it did make me feel better in the grand scheme of things. I am still dealing with a sore throat, you know.

 

[Double D]

Glad to see your still doing well Py!!! Thats awesome!

[Pylon]

Don't be too angry with me, BG. Don't forget, I have to see it in my journal all week until the next cheat day.

 

[Pylon]

Ugh. Feel like crap...again. My cough is still hanging around, and now my sinuses have joined in the act. This sucks.

Will probably skip the gym and try to recoup. I'm committed, though, to keeping diet clean. Blech.

 

[King Silverback]

Sorry your feeling worse!!! Heres to a speedy recovery!!!

I am going to give you the same advice you gave me over a year ago while I had one my many colds (I will paraphrase of course): rest from the cold. One or two days will not hurt your progress but lifting with a cold may hurt more than your proggress...

You will not be happy because you will lift less than you normally do and are bound to really hurt yourself because you may try too hard to do something that your body at the moment is not capable of doing....

Get well soon my friend....

 

[Pylon]

Thanks guys. No worries, though. When I'm sick, the last thing on my mind is lifting. I'm just trying to eat clean and rest.

Speaking of eating, I was "kinda" clean last night. I made paella for the first time. Oh man, that stuff is good. And it's mostly rice (this one with shrimp and scallops.) Other than the olive oil (starts with 1/4 cup, but most of that gets poured off), it's pretty harmless. Except the quick carbs. And the fact you can eat the whole batch at once if you really want to. (Not that I did...I shared with the wife.)

Mr. Pylon, congratulations on your first paella. You haven't lived until you add squid (the little ones) and your assortment of mussels...then you have a real spanish paella...I am not sure if that's unhealthy, but it's so good....

Get well soon buddy, want to see you lift again...

 

[Pylon]

I did include mussels, but forgot to mention them. I'm a big fan. I've got a recipe for one with chicken and asparagus that I'll be trying soon. Once I get the bottom to carmalize the right way, I'll look into buying a real paella pan for myself.

 

[Brutus_G]

Im on 1800 cals a day like 30-45g carbs with a carb up every 7 days. Its hard not to hate lol.

 

[Pylon]

That sounds about like where I have been. With being sick, I allow myself a little leeway. For instance, I'm taking the night off and taking my boy to the hockey game, so there will be arena food in my future. (The Blues have a Tuesday deal where under 16 is free and gets a free hot dog and soda if they wear the team logo. )

 

[Pylon]

Hey all-

Had a great time at the game. Feeling better today, but have decided to delay lifting just to make sure I get all the way over the cold this time around. May do cardio tonight if I'm feeling really good.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Good move Señor Pylon, by the way, on waiting to get stronger...
It is fun to take the kid to a sporting event with you.
A couple of weeks ago, I took Anthony, my 3 year old to see Monster Jams (first sporting event for him) and I had so much fun.....

Anyway, this is your journal, why the hell am I littering it with my crap..

 

[Pylon]

Well, I figured I should try to get all the way healthy, rather than go through this again.

Hey, your litter is always welcome in here.

I request you dont post pics of fufu's house.

 

[King Silverback]

I bet that was a good time at the game w/ your oldest!!! Glad your feelin better too my Friend!!!

 

[Double D]

Hey Py....whats up buddy?

 

[fantasma62]

Brother, how are you feelng today? Cold still bogging you down? I hope you are better...

 

[Brutus_G]

Py?

 

[Pylon]

Hey all...

Still a bit under the weather, plus have been swamped at work. No workouts to speak of, and (as was probably inevitable) my diet went a little over the edge the last couple of days. But things should start to settle down now and I'll try to get re-tracked.

 

[Double D]

Weather sure was awesome yesterday though!!!! And looks that way for the next week atleast!

 

[King Silverback]

Been a beautiful weekend for sure my Friend, hope all is well and you got to enjoy the outside this weekend!!!

 

[Pylon]

Well, the weather is great and I'm starting to feel better. Getting back on track as well.

I had planned on doing some cardio tonight, since all that's left is a little cough and a hint of phlegm. (Hmm...sounds like a punk band...Hint of Phlegm...)

Anyway, my boss decided at 3:30 that it would be a good day to sneak out early and play racquetball. So I got in an hour of work earlier than anticipated. Good times, though. Gets me going again.
