Day 35.

Triceps? Still hurt. Seriously.

Also, my knee hurts tonight. I was carrying Lilly up the stairs in her car seat because we got home LATE (thanks crappy weather) and my left knee was popping and I was limping all the way up. Kind of a worry, maybe?

But otherwise it was a solid day. Not only did I accomplish quite a bit with school, mostly weasel my way out of my News Writing group project but I also got a good work out in.

I did my 40 on the Hell Machine with ease which means it's probably time to up to 45. Ugh. Then I did the Vertical Chest press, Fly Thing, Biceps, Triceps, Lats and Abs. When doing Lats and Abs I can really, really feel it but now, nothing. Which is strange to me. I think that I'm supposed to hurt later, right? Hurm...

The rock wall is neat looking. I frequently see people climbing it and there are some dudes that make it look frighteningly easy. Then again, there are dudes benching 300 pounds that make it look easy too. I'm not really brave enough to try either. Actually I'm not brave enough to fail at either. Just keeping it real, folks.

Speaking of dudes benching 300 pounds, I see a lot of them drinking powdered beverages of some sort. I'm assuming that this is either protein or creatine. Can anyone confirm or deny and explain exactly what the point is? Should I be doing these things as well? Vanessa says probably not but I would like to explore the idea before ruling it out altogether.

I did have a protein shake after my workout and it was... protein-y. It wasn't bad, but it definitely tasted different. YahooAnswers says that I should consume one right before and right after working out for best results. This is confusing. It was also almost $3. This seems like kind of a racket...

I swear that I had other interesting things to say, but apparently I overestimated my ability to be interesting.

Breakfast:
2 servings of Special K Granola cereal with Vanilla Yogurt
2 pieces of white toast with butter and apple butter (Vanessa made it for me!)

Snack:
32 oz Strawberry Oasis Smoothie
Yogurt pretzels (spread these out through the whole day)

Lunch:
Turkey pastrami sandwich with provolone cheese and mustard
Small bag of Sun Chips
Strawberry Cream Protein Shake

Dinner:
1/2 of a Cuban Chicken Panini from Panera
Bowl of French Onion Soup

Panera was OUT OF EVERYTHING, by the way. They had a sign on the door that said, "We're out of coffee." They had three soups. They were out of all of the interesting breads. My sandwich was on wheat bread, not focaccia and I wanted focaccia dammit! But they looked like they were having a rough night, so I was nice.

Lots of water today.

See you tomorrow.
