Back at it...

Well, the excitement of the Friday results made for a content and satisfied weekend. Surprisingly, the results only made me hungry for more. Saturday was dedicated to family, remembrance and celebration so I took the day off (except for wrestling with the nieces and nephews). By Sunday, Kristy and I were back at it for a 4 mile walk to and from the Dog Park with our boxer Tess. It was great to get back in the swing of things. Food all weekend was good thanks to grilled chicken (Thanks Mom!) and baby trees (broccoli) and fruit salad (Thanks Bill and Helen!).

Today was another busy day at the office. Here's the accountability report:

Food- Started the day at Niedlov's with 2 eggs scrambled with cheese, sliced tomatoes, two slices of whole wheat, and water. Snack #1 was 1/2 a banana and 1/2 a protein bar. Lunch was my favorite white omelet from Blue Plate with spinach, cheese, onions, and fruit salad again with water. Hit the same snack again late in the afternoon and finally met Bill for dinner. I had a few chips with guac, shrimp and avacados and two corn tortillas with chorizo, onion and cilantro. Overall, it was a good food day. You'll see that I was out for every meal and still managed to find things that aren't ridiculously ladened with things that my body shouldn't be consuming. I certainly don't recommend eating out for every meal but sometimes life demands it and you have to make good choices. The old Josh would have started today with a cinnamon roll, lunched on a burger and fries, and closed the deal with cheese dip and a chimichanga.

Workout- We hit upper body this evening and worked our way through some intense chest and tricep work. I continue to be pleased with strength gains in my upper body. My bench press max is estimated at 260+ right now and I'll hope to continue to push that to 300 and maybe beyond. Of course, we didn't forget core and boxing tonight. Core is still tough but getting better all the time.

Cardio- I jumped the heart rate up above 130 on the elliptical tonight and kept it there for just over 30 minutes. Total distance was 2.06 miles with 400+ calories burned at level 5 on the machine.
