This morning I decided to try on my old Cardillo lifting belt. When I started NS the belt wouldn't even reach all the way around my waist. Today it fit. I decided to measure the distance from the tip of the belt to the first hole in the belt and found the distance to be 9 inches. That means I've lost more than 9 inches (since the belt didn't even touch when I started).
Other than being able to fit in the belt, the rest of the day workout wise was a bust. Kim, Jumping Jack Flash and I had a nice walk around lunch. I went to the gym later in the day and it was awful. Maybe the worst exercise experience I've had in months. I began wanting to do 20 minutes of HIIT cardio on the treadmill. I only managed 16. I moved on the calves and had a nice quick 6 set workout. I returned to the treadmill planning on doing about 30 minutes of walking @ incline 12.9, speed 3.9. I managed a total of 12 minutes. It sucked. I was shaking, freezing cold. and exhausted. I thought I'd been walking about 25 minutes and checked the timer to find I'd been walking only 5. I tried to grind through it, but at 12 I was spent. Maybe it was because I was training about 5 hours later than normal, maybe because I'd already had lunch (that doesn't make any sense), maybe because I'd already walked earlier, maybe because I trained legs yesterday, I don't know. Whatever the reason, I had to give up, come home, eat a snack, and rest. I sorta salvaged the day by going on a second walk with Kim late this evening. We brought the Pug along instead of the JJF. I think I ended up with about 88 minutes of cardio on the day.I had an "on" plan day, for the most part. Breakfast was blueberry pancakes, facon, a banana, and a slice of bread. My morning snack was a cup of yogurt. Lunch was a veggie fajita Kim prepared a couple of days ago but never ate. I had some fake chorizo and a fake grilled chicken patty with it (Kim ate a little of the fake chicken with me). My afternoon snack was a NS chocolate cake. Dinner this evening was a large salad along with rotini & meatballs, broccoli & cauliflower in cheese sauce, and a slice of bread. Dessert this evening was a chocolate crunch bar.
I'm laying off of the gym tomorrow. Maybe a walk or two around the lake is all I think I've got in me. Beyond that I'm gonna rest, watch some TV, eat my meals, and get ready for another weigh in on Monday.Last night we went to Mr. & Mrs. K's house for "game" night. Kim loves to play board games, especially a game called "Cranium." I'm not so big on games. Video games sure, knowledge based, trivia, current events sorta questions I'm good with. Not so much with board games. I actually did pretty well, only EVERYONE else playing was to drunk to hear me when I said the answers (they were all shouting answers at the same time). We always play guys vs. gals. Sadly, guys typically loose, badly. I did however with the most important game of the night. Find Kim's missing iPhone. We realized it was missing at about 2:30 this morning (when we got home from game night). I remembered Kim dropping the Cranium box as we were getting in the car. We drove one town South on the interstate and I spotted the iPhone resting on a curb near where we parked. WOOHOO! Kim's a happy girl to have her precious phone back, & I won a game for the guys!
