Hey World,

Today was cold up in the good ole Minneapolis MN but still found the energy to roll out of bed and get to work this morning around 8am.  Obviously being in the fitness world my job is usually pretty physically demanding, weather its helping people push through failure sets, or just running along to help them get through a cardio session, I seem to find a little workout in every day.  Anyway here is what I ate and worked on throughout this frigid day

Meals: 8am-11pm ( separations are for time between meals)

-Breakfast Sandwich: whole wheat bread, egg, turkey sausage, cheese.

-Burger King jr wopper and dollar chicken sandwich.

-bowl of ravioli

-some pringles and diet coke

-steak and some vegetables

Workout

-protein shake (30g protein)

-microwave steamer tv dinner thing (17g protein)

Notes:  I don’t think I ate enough today, got really hungry around noon and was stuck working on a project, nothing around to snack on so pushed through as long as i could before i had to eat something.  Really never good to push yourself to that level of hunger, your body begins to look for its most efficient form of energy.. Your lean muscle tissue instead of fat, so anyone trying to starve themselves, not eating just makes you weak, not in good shape!  Eat whenever you feel hungry, no matter how often it is, just limit yourself to smaller portions.

Workout Details:

Have been off my usual plan which is upper body, lower body, then upper again, then midsection for the week and decided to go with legs again to maybe gain some below the waist muscle.  Tried to go kinda heavy with my squats which fortunately didn’t hurt me, but back is pretty tense, other than that here is how it went:

-Warm up, about 5 min of some pull-ups jogging in place, and some mild stretching

-Squat: 135lbs 3 sets of 10 reps

-Squat: 225 lbs 1 set of 10 reps

-Leg Press: 225 lbs 1 set of 10 reps

-Leg Press right into Calf Raise: 275 lbs 3 sets of 10

-Leg Raise: 130 lbs 3 sets of 10 Reps

-lay down Leg Curl: 70 lbs 3 sets of 10 Reps

-Leg Crunch: 130 lbs 3 sets of 10 reps

-Kick Backs ( one leg lay down): 60 lbs 3 sets of 10 reps

-Finished with 5 minutes of mild cardio, jogging in place some mild stretching and crunches.

Notes:  Went with my older brother and decided to let him into my world a little bit, you see he is the other type of very athletic person.. The long distance runner.  Where I can school him any day in strength and agility, he could out run me for days!  Anyway this is why I will rate this as a pretty good workout, over all my usual push, but some good and rare company.
