Just some weeding, mulching, and watering in the afternoon. Oh, and a nice swim as well. Found a couple of small pots so they now have some herbs in them (parsley and mint), and somehow we ended up with oregano as well (basil I’d already planted). It will go somewhere else, just haven’t figured out where yet.

Tomorrow is a rest day, which means errands. Friday night will be a girls night (depending on who shows… long story), so I’ll look for both turkey pepperoni and veggie pepperoni tomorrow for that. One of the girls is a vegetarian (not vegan) and I’m not sure if she’s coming. Individual pizzas will be on the menu, with the homemade whole wheat crust. Toppings to be determined. There will also be alcohol involved.

Food for the day:

Total: 2405 (27% fat, 36% carbs, 35% protein)

Breakfast: egg/egg white omelet with cheese, cracked wheat oatmeal bread, grapefruit (442)
AM Snack: grapes, protein shake (256)
Lunch: whole wheat tortillas (2), smoked ham, mustard, cheese, apple (476)
PM Snack: protein shake, soy nuts (269)
Dinner: lasagne, broccoli, butter, salad w/dressing (647)
Late Snack: grapes, protein shake (316)

I started with 15-mins on the treadmill and then did:

A: Front Squat/Push Press - 40t/10, 45t/10
B1: Step-up (12″) - 7.5e/10, 10e/10
B2: Dumbbell One-point Row - 17.5e/10, 20e/10
C1: Static Lunge, Rear Foot Elevated - 5e/10, 7.5e/10
C2: Push-up (full) - 10, 10
D1: Plank - 30+30sec (on 6″ step), 30+30sec (on 6″ step)
D2: Horizontal Wood Chop (on floor) - 27.5t/10, 30t/10

I followed with making up the workout to 60 mins with a short walk on the treadmill.

HRM: 624 cals, Max: 162 (91%), Avg: 140 (79%)

I feel like I’m not progressing much in this stage. I think it’s more of a balance / overall fitness issue. The dumbbell one-point row is hard, no matter what weight I pick. I suspect I’m struggling with the move, not the weight. The static lunge is the same. I’m going to add more weight next time, but I suspect it’s not my real problem with this move. The planks I did on the step today and managed to get them to 30+30sec each time. The push-ups are still really hard. I suppose I keep thinking at some point they will get easier, but not so far.

Ah well, the sun is out and I’ve got some weeding and watering to do. It’s not super warm, but at least it’s better than tomorrow.
