Training Log: Entry 2986

Typical weekend update.  Slept until 0730, got up and hit 200 push ups and 100 squats fasted, had a fantastic breakfast

Went shopping, got to Trader Joes.  Folks: cheese is back on the menu!

I am so excited to try out all those different kinds of goat cheese.  The Brie and Cheddar snacks are for the Mrs.  I also picked up some outstanding bacon WITHOUT GODDAMN SUGAR (man that's hard to find).

Went to Panda Express for lunch.  Got my large entre of chicken teriyaki. 

My guts have been upset for a while, which I attribute to a Mexican place I was at yesterday for a very disappointing lunch.   Ordered 2 entrees off the lunch menu, carnivored them by having all the veggies put to the side, and in doing so got to see just how little meat was actually in the dish.  Chorizo con huevos and a fajita taco salad of steak and chicken, and I get the impression the chicken was undercooked, because the steak itself was pretty rare.  Was feeling pretty loogie as a result, and thought to try out my new rower, but genuinely couldn't figure out how to set up the damn thing, so I just went with Jamie Lewis' recommendation in Famine of a 30 minute bodyweight circuit

I think that move I came up with at the end is more fitting of the title "Burpserker".  Burpee into a full squat into a chin into a hanging leg raise.  The leg raise is a LITTLE iffy: might be more streamlined to do knees to chest or even a windshield wiper so that I don't need to spend so much time stabilizing.  But, no joke, I made just do a half hour of that next time.

Felt much better after that.  Breaking a sweat seems to help.  I'm FINALLY shedding the water my body was holding onto from that illness I picked up and subsequent meds I went on.  I was thinking I was experiencing some sort of dietary misstep, but I'm thinking now I can simply visibly trace the difference between a body thriving and a body surviving.  Something Jon Andersen spoke of.

Just placed a piedmontese order, because I'm on their mailing list and they enticed me with a deal on some ribeyes.  

I highlighted the part I'm most excited about.  Oh my goodness: legit dino ribs

I've seen how things things can turn out

This is me reclaiming my barbarian birthright.

Dinner was not as exciting, but that was in prep for brunch tomorrow.  I had a "deer chop" from a buddy of mine, which I threw on the grill for a quick turn, made into a wrap with some egg whites, and had the remains as a side

I've also been experimenting with Metabolic Drive "ice cream", using shaved ice and salt along with a little beef broth for fluid...it's pretty tasty on hot summer nights.

Weekends for food porn.  Weekdays for hardcore training.  Balance.
