Posted June 30, 2008 * Comments(0)

So I did spend the rest of the day outside kind of puttering around the yard. It would be so nice if we had some consistent summer. Some of the pots are starting to look really nice so I should remember to take a few pictures. That was it for the rest of the day really.

Total: 2409 (35% fat, 31% carbs, 33% protein)

Breakfast: egg/egg white omelet with cheese, pecan raisin bread, jam, grapefruit (488)
AM Snack: almonds (164)
PWO: protein shake with frozen cherries (233)
Lunch: whole wheat tortilla, BBQ pork, cheese, apple (439)
PM Snack: soy nuts, protein shake (269)
Dinner: corned beef, cabbage with tomato, butter, salad w/dressing (494)
Late Snack: cherries, protein shake (323)

I started with 10-mins on the treadmill and then did:

A: One-armed Dumbbell Snatch - 32e/6, 32e/6, 35e/6
B1: Dumbbell Single-leg Romanian Deadlift - 25e/6, 25e/6, 25e/6
B2: Barbell Bent-over Row - 90t/6, 90t/6, 95t/6
C1: Dumbbell Single-arm Overhead Squat - 20&10/6, 20&10/6, 25&12/6
C2: Dumbbell Incline Bench Press - 27.5e/6, 27.5e/6, 30e/6
D1: Plank - 90sec (45-degree), 45+45sec (on floor), 45+45 (on floor)
D2: Reverse Wood Chop (on floor) - 32t/6, 32t/6, 35t/6
Bodyweight Matrix (modified): 96 squats, 48 lunges (each leg)

HRM: 90mins, 642 cals, Max: 154 (87%), Avg: 127 (71%)

I definitely don’t think I had the enthusiasm for this today, but I pushed through and did it anyway. I even managed to do a couple of squat jumps (we’re talking 3 or 4 here). I really love the one-armed dumbbell snatch though, I’m going to miss it as I move on to Stage 4. I most definitely will not miss the planks! I’m starting to have troubles getting the dumbbells into position for the incline bench press. As I don’t have a bench I’m getting the incline using a swiss ball against the couch. I really don’t have a problem pressing the 30-lb dumbbells, but getting to the starting position is a royal pain.  :)

Anyway, time to go think about making lunch. Then a few outdoors chores, some watering, and a swim. Thankfully the weather is nice enough to do those today.
