I keep fast food in business.

had an AWESOME chicken parm hero from hero boy (seriously, best in the city!) and some mountain dew.

tonight, first tuesday night gts…excited!

productive…barely…

today started with physical training @ finish line physical therapy

• my left shoulder and elbow are f’ed! i hope, someday soon, this pain will subside (i have to do the stretches & exercises prescribed of course)

was supposed to have starting strength tonight but only me and bad sam showed so i ended up opting out and doing some lifting and a wod instead

• squats (45x5x2; 120x5; 195x5; 225x5)
• AMRAP 20”
  • 25 burpees
  • 15 back squats @ bodyweight (190 #’s)
  • Total: 3 + 11 burpees

I have ZERO cardio. I mean, don’t get me wrong, that wod SUCKED but I was wheezing and seriously thought I was going to have a heart attack (well, not seriously but you get the jist)

After that, had some pretty good fried chicken with mac-n-cheese & creamed spinach and then some of Keith’s good ass birthday cake…yumm.

trying to gain posting momentum:

this weekend saw:

• friday
  • lifting - elbow pain flared up again which negatively affected my ability to lift effectively
  • post-lifting - drinking beers with the bbc crew. out late but not terribly intoxicated
• saturday
  • running - first TNT GTS! went extremely well…well, portions of it did. overall experience, check; meeting mentees, check; running, MISERABLE…hardest 3.4 miles i’ve ran in a long time. hope that changes
  • post-running - suspect brunch
  • pot-luck party - i made baked ziti and i think it was great! all the other food was pretty f’in delicious. many vodka-based drinks and loads of flip cup. sadly, i was not a winner
• sunday
  • lay on couch and watched football all day
  • had some soda & chicken parm & slice of pizza
  • now debating if i should have a steak or ice cream

ABSOLUTELY NOT

When I asked Moon if we should skip lifting and instead drink, his reply was:

Years from now, any one night of drinking will blur in memory amongst all of the others.  But our greatest lifts - which may happen tonight or which may happen as a result of the progress we make tonight - that will stay with each of us be it on posted whiteboards, in the minds of friends both proud and jealous, and until the last light fades from our eyes.

1 steak

catching up…

• last night
  • went for a 5 mile run (felt good. back was tight but had to do something because as keith said…”you can’t just stay home, eat & get fat dude”)
  • went out for drinks (vodka rocks…probably about 5)
  • came home and finished off the left overs of ribs, chicken, wings (hot!) & corn on the cob
• this morning
  • went for my first TNT pre-season practice…i think this is going to be awesome! i am psyched.
  • we did an easy 3 mile run and then i ran home (about 2.5) for a total of 5.5 miles
  • just sucked down a bacon & egg sandy and washed it down with a mountain dew!

lunch:

• ham, turkey, cheese & mustard on a roll
• bbq chips
• 1 mountain dew
• i small piece of CAKE
