Nutrition Bumped up my calories a bit today. I'm not sure why, but I felt hungrier today. It seemed like the next meal couldn't come soon enough. The store where I usually purchase my dextrose for my post workout shake, has been out for a few weeks now. I was looking for substitute for it today, when I stumbled across a package of pitted dates. I have never eaten a date before, but I knew they had a high GI (glycemic index) value, so I figured I would give them a shot. They tasted great! I'm really looking forward to my next lifting day so I can taste them again. Iron Arm day today, one of my faves. I prefer doing dumbbell shoulder presses seated, but the benches at my gym are really low. It makes it tough to get enough leverage to swing your arms up properly, so I've been sticking to standing presses. It was pretty a pretty standard workout, lots of super and tri sets. I could see the veins in my arms pumping as I walked out. I love that. Life The time between semesters is killing me! I can't wait until January 16th so I can start up again. I guess if I had an actual job it wouldn't be as bad, but the boredom is getting to me. I even went bowling this afternoon to try and kill some time. I scored a 133, which is really good for me. It's amazing how much better I do when I'm not 3 pitchers of beer deep,lol. Tomorrow will definitely be a more eventful day. I have a computer side job in the morning, orientation at the physical therapists office at 11am and then my daughter has an appointment at 3pm. Which reminds, me...I better start preparing my food for tomorrow. Random Thought about adding a new section here to put stuff that doesn't necessarily fall into the nutrition/iron/life categories. Not sure what all it will contain, but I can guarantee it will be random :) Here is a video demonstrating how to fit 1 days worth of calories into 1 meal.
