Second to last day of vac. Not meeting anyone for lunch nor have I made any plans. So it's a day of doing whatever comes to mind. Going to the gym of course but otherwise nothing in mind. I ended up doing some grocery shopping so I wouldn't have to do it on the weekend. I had a nice conversation with L at the gym. It wasn't a day I meet with her but we can talk about stuff other than working out. I always enjoy chatting with her. Here's today's food plan:
Breakfast: Two egg frattata with spinach, cheese, broccoli, some beet,and a sausage with salsa on top. 20oz of cold water.
After work out meal: Went to a sandwich shoppe and ordered a sandwich made with pastrami and cole slaw on rye bread. Also had a small container of potato salad and a large dill pickle spear. The sandwich was awesome and I only ate half of it and will save the other half for dinner. Probably will have some onion rings or yam fries or something else to add to the dinner. Finally for the first time in about 3-4 months I had a Mt Dew with the meal. Yes I have cut out soda pop but I also refuse to completely cut myself off from stuff I know is bad but still want on occasion. It's not like in the past where I'd drink it all the time (which I never did but....) and occasionally I'm going to do it. That's my motto for life, if you don't give in once in a while you're not enjoying life. At least that's how I feel, your mileage may vary.
Dinner: The other half of the sandwich from lunch. Also had some yam fries.
Got up later today than all week and I'm noticing everything is happening later in the day, duh. The gym was good. I did the cardio, which consisted of walking for 16min on the treadmill with a hill program where I increase the speed at set intervals thru out the time frame and continuing at a walking pace, 10 minutes on the stair stepper and on that I do an interval of various times consisting of 30-45sec pumping hard and 30 seconds of easy steps. Following that it's off to the recumbent with the intervals on the hill program. I'm changing that a bit. There is a 6min section at the beginning that I was at first just pedalling normal, then I changed to doing one minute pedalling fast/one minute pedalling normal. I've now changed that to a continuous faster but not as fast as the intervals later on steady pedalling. That comes out a bit confusing but basically I'm changing up the intervals to activate my metabolism. If we were at the gym I'd be able to show/explain it better. Take my word for it, it works out just fine in reality.
