Er, that is, two exercises.

My standard morning 30-minutes of cardio, this time while listening to Cynthia Kersey, followed by a push-workout later in the day:

12 x squat @ 175
6 x squat @ 265
3 x squat @ 310
1 x squat @ 330

12 x military press @ 75
6 x military press @ 105
3 x military press @ 120
1 x military press @ 125

12 x bench press @ 130
6 x bench press @ 195
3 x bench press @ 225
1 x bench press @ 240

It was a miserable workout. Fun to do, but miserable because I'm much weaker than I ever was at my peak. Lesson learned. More resolve to push forward.

Okay, onto the fun stuff ... the eats. Oh, by the weigh, er, way, have I mentioned my weight? Was staying at a steady 210. Now down to 206.5. Will be under 200 by first week in August, and when I go to our international USANA convention in Salt Lake City, Utah in mid-September, I will be 190s.

Here are my eats for today ...

Breakfast:

1 cup Select Organic Honey 7-Grain Flakes Cereal
1 cup of the evil soy milk (LOL)
1 slice of stone ground organic whole wheat toast, with
1.5 tbsp of organic all natural peanut butter

Second breakfast (tee-hee):

2 whole eggs
1/2 cup shredded potatoes
1/3 cup chopped onions (veggies!)
1/8 piece chopped green pepper (veggies!)
3 oz diced chicken breast
1 tsp olive oil
(All of the above cooked into a skillet)

Post-workout:

Banana (fruit!)

Dinner:

6.5 oz New York strip steak (grilled)
1/2 cup cauliflower (veggies!)

Mid-evening treat:

1 Voortman's Tea Ring cookie
1 oz all-natural dark chocolate

Late night:

1 Amy's Organic Vegan Burrito (beans & rice)

So the tally comes to ...

P/C/F = 25% / 43% / 32%

The wife went to the store and brought back bags and bags of frozen veggies. I say ... YEAH! Now I will REALLY start to put them on the map.

Okay, nuff fer now. Talk soon!
