Days 51, 52 and 53.

Slacking, kind of. Whatever.

Actually, I've been seriously slacking. I took three days off from working out and I ate pretty poorly those days. I don't know about that, actually. I don't know how bad Mediterranean and Indian food is for you. I do know that baklava isn't so good for me and I had a bit of that. And it was possibly the best baklava that I've ever had. That totally makes it worth it.

On Saturday I helped my parents move, which almost counts as working out. They fed me take-out Chinese food. I want to say that one counter balances the other, but I'm not really so sure.

But I was in Pittsburgh on Sunday for Wilco, which was fantastic. The band, the city, everything. It was a fantastic time and I really look forward to heading that way again. On one little street, they had a Thai noodle restaurant, as well as Chinese, Mediterranean AND Indian places. On one street! I could stay busy there for well over a year. That's before the used bookstore and vinyl shops.

Dan and I ended up eating at Ali Baba Restaurant and I got a Lamb Kebab with rice, hummus and a salad. For dessert Dan got the biggest piece of baklava that I've ever seen, which we shared, and then ordered another because it was so amazing. This place alone was worth the trip. Then Wilco played for three hours and almost made me forget about the awesome restaurant. Then we walked by again on the way back to the car.

I really like Pittsburgh.

Monday I was so beat from Sunday that I didn't go to class (sorry, Dr. A.) but we still dropped the kids at the sitter's like normal. That meant that Vanessa and I got to spend the whole day together doing whatever we wanted. Which included Saffron Patch for lunch and then the Penny's outlet for fun. The funny thing about SP is that we haven't been there in almost a year and a half. Funnier is that it is where we found out that Vanessa was pregnant. It was nice. And, for the record, delicious.

I have also had problems with not being able to get full recently. Or getting rabidly hungry. So much so that I had to buy food at school even though I had a lunch AND snacks. And I bought KFC which is super not good for me. I felt guilty eating it.

But today I got back on the wagon and did my 35 on the Hell Machine and did the shit out of my arms. Like, whoa. Pulldowns, rows, bicep curls, tricep extensions and incline press all at higher weights and more sets than normal. It felt pretty good. I also did lats but not abs because the ab machine was practically handing out tickets because it was so busy. Tomorrow is legs and arms and hopefully abs. We shall see.
