Finally Friday....

Weight = 145.5

Funny how I can feel "good" about such a big number.  Intellectually, there is no way that is good.  But when I got up in the morning, I felt better than I had in quite a few days - less bloated, more in control.  Just better.  So after only only day, I am optimistic that getting back to higher carb, lower fat eating (eliminating nut butter and dairy) is something that might work for me.

Today was the day I was going to call and make a doctor appointment related to this sinus/head congestion thing I've been fighting.  I didn't actually do it, but I think maybe the congestion is starting to break up.   If it isn't considerably better by Monday, I'll go ahead and make the appointment.

I also quite proud of myself because, for the second Friday in a row, I came home from work and did "the right thing" (running and kbs) instead of plopping on the couch in front of the TV.  I took Clancy for a spin around the block and then did the following:

at :30/:30, with 12kg
10 rounds of (2 HD swing, 10 snatch R, 10 snatch L, 10 goblet squats) = 40 minutes total

That's another $20 in the "training myself" account.  Being a good trainer to myself, however, I have to say that I should be doing a workout like the above with the 16kg.  I'm doing it at home so failure is okay (just me here to know about it).  And snatching the 16kg at home will make the 12kg workouts with Tracy that much easier.  I was telling myself that I'd have used the 16kg except I didn't want to wear myself out before my Saturday workout.  Maybe there was some truth in that excuse but it was still and excuse.  I'll have to balance the reality that using the 16kg might, at least initally, make the workout less fun.  Something to think about.

Meals were again okay.  The habit of the disordered bakery snack after lunch needs to stop.  It's disordered.  It's expensive.  It's destructive to the othe good nutritional habits I'm working on . I know that it is a result of boredom and a desire to get out of my office.  If I could just harness that same feeling to get myself over to the fitness center, it'd be turning a negative to a positive.

Need to do more work with the stick.   I can feel it in my legs....
