Breakfast: Frittata and 20oz of cold water.
1st Snack: Greek yogurt
Lunch: Ground turkey with peppers in a wrap with guacamole and veggies mixture. Also Skittles.
Dinner: Two chicken drumsticks and thighs with sautéed veggies.
So lifted weights at the gym. It was an upper body workout L showed me. Will probably just do cardio tomorrow as I'm feeling the need to ease up on the upper body focus for a bit. Saturday we'll get back to it.

Day 694
Ran after work today. I think I've gotten this distance down so it's time to add so time to the run. 21min just seems too short and not challenging enough. Of course in a couple of weeks I'll be happy to be able to run for 21 minutes but until then I can go bigger.
Breakfast: Frittata and 20oz of cold water.
1st snack: Back to the regular lunch schedule so I get a 1st break before lunch. Greek yogurt.
Lunch: Ground turkey and peppers burrito. Kale/broccoli/cabbage with guacamole and salsa. Stepped a little off the path and had four Ritz cracker with peanut butter also.
Dinner: Protein drink. Stir fry veggies and pistachios.
So the run was good. I'm glad I ran instead of going to the gym. I was feeling the upper body workouts that I did earlier in the week, so running was a nice change.

Lunch: Ground turkey with peppers in a wrap with guacamole, kale/broccoli/cabbage, and salsa.
Afternoon snack: Greek yogurt
Dinner: Kale veggie stir fry and a protein drink.
Did another upper body workout and maybe I should have done something else. My arms are feeling it.
Tomorrow I'll run instead.

Day 692
Went to the gym in the morning. Did another of L's workouts that are great for the current condition of my body. Soon I'll only be doing really weak workouts if at all. Of course that won't last. As soon as the doc tells me I'll be back at it and look out. I expect to come back and start the work on my weakest areas and then progress from there. The running is fast becoming my go to which I never thought I'd say. {this is me shaking my head in disbelief}
Only drank my 20oz of cold water before going to the gym.
After the workout meal: Chicken/bacon sandwich and an ice tea drink. I've discovered a new temptation and unfortunately I gave in to it today. It's called Cowboy Bark. It's basically a nut/cookie/pretzel mix covered in chocolate. It's delicious and deadly. I ended up eating almost an entire bag today. Didn't eat the entire bag but.......
Dinner: Two chicken drumstick/thigh combo and a small ground turkey burrito. The burrito was a sample of this weeks lunches.
So a good workout but blew it rather badly with the Cowboy Bark. Hmmm a typical day if you ask me.

Day 691
Ran 5K today. I didn't suck to badly.
Breakfast: Oatmeal with a banana. 20oz of cold water.
After the run: Protein drink.
Lunch: Vietnamese Sandwich with broccoli/cauliflower salad. Ice tea drink.
Dinner: Pot sticker soup with sausage, bacon, broccoli, and peas.
Late snack: Pistachios
So the run went well. I turned in a time of 51min which was 10min off the Zombie run time. I think though that I actually ran more than 5K as I can't believe I was that much slower. At the same time I will say that on the back side it was raining a lot and the wind was against me. Still I didn't feel actually slower, so. I plan on doing it again before the surgery just to see if I can run any faster.

Day 690
It's the day off from the gym. My weekend workout plans have been decided. I'm planning on running 5K tomorrow rain or shine. I expect it to be rain. The distance is one that I think is a good amount for me to get used to running more often. I will basically run the same course that I ran for the Zombie 5K I did back in Feb. I'm actually looking forward to it slightly more than a root canal. ;)
Breakfast: Frittata with cottage cheese and salsa. 20oz of cold water.
Lunch: Chicken fajita with a very small portion of Thai food. Why? Because it was there. Ya that's a silly reason but one I catch myself justifying quite often. One of those psych quirks I have.
Afternoon snack: Banana
Dinner: Sausage sandwich and sweet potato fries. An adult beverage.

Day 689
My week is all confused. I met with L tonight after work and she threw another good workout my way. We keep trying to stay focused on not stressing the hernia and I think it makes for some great workouts. Yes I'll have to get back to that soon but not for a while.
The countdown is nearing as March comes to an end and April just around the corner. It's now coming up on the four weeks until crazy time. Not sure I'm ready but not much I can do about it.
Breakfast: Frittata with cottage cheese and salsa. 20oz of cold water.
Lunch: Of course I had to have Thai food since there was quite a lot left from the night before. So some veggie and noodle stir fry along with a small portion of rice.
Afternoon snack: Greek yogurt
Dinner: Protein drink. Stir fry cauliflower and slice of bread with peanut butter.
The workout was one that I'll combine with others to make a giant sweat session. Of course that's after the hernia recovery is over. So we're looking at getting back to normal sometime in June, I think. It all depends on how I do and what the doctor says. I plan on following those orders to the letter.
