One Week Wedge

Today is the one month mark for the green faces thang. i've felt pretty good all in all. i've eaten more greens and fruits than (possibly) i've eaten collectively o'er the antecedent bit of my life. Good times. i've definitely felt better, and i think i've been healing faster. i'm gonna try to stick with basically the same thing henceforth, 'cept maybe i'm going to add in a few more breeds of food. Like the occasional beer. Mostly, i'm going to try to stay off the cheese, corn, white bread (tortillas, etc.) and hfcs. i think the main takeaway is to keep up the 6-7 days/week workouts, and mo' green veggies. On the other hand, Stone's Vertical Epic 10/10/10 is out tomorrow, and i think that is pretty important for my health.

i did do that chest workout on Fri. It was a good 'un. In deference to my beleaguered shoulders, i did no form of straight bench. Instead, i did inclined DBs, and dips. Before that, i did pushups, dips, and some walkouts on the rings. Them thangs're torture. Highly recommended.  Also did some triceps pressouts. Saturday, i did something exercisy, but i don't remember what. Sunday i did an hour bike ride. Went well enough. me diggy the cooler weather. Yesterday (mon.) i climbed for what i plan to be the last time before the comp (assuming i stay and do the comp...ain't decided yet). Went in mostly to tick that v5, but they'd already pulled it for the comp. Half the gym was closed for construction, so i did some easier bouldering (which was not necessarily in line with "light, curative, forearm-perfusing climbing). Then i got with a friend and did a bunch of toproping. Did a bunch of 5.10s and an 11 or two. Anyhow, i don't think i did more damage to the pingers, so i've now got 4 or 5 days of finger tendon healin'.

Today i sped to the pool for the lunch break (in spite of the prof running 20mins into the hour) and got in a quick 1,000 with no wu/cd. Felt pretty durn good. i'm hoping tomorrow to get in a longish endurance workout of some form--hopefully with a bike involved. i'd reeeeeeally like to edge my weight below 190 before sat. i was at 192 yesterday. If that means going bulimic 'til saturday, well, small price. Otherwise, i'm planning on laying off the strength workouts for the week. i want the strength tank to be as full as possible.

i do hope all's going well out there on the backroads and backwaters of Tejas. i'm praying for yas.

Wednesday edit:

Just for the record, i had a mini Reese's PB cup last night. Then some friends and i went to a pub whereat i partook of a couple o' beers and nachos. Then i went home and had a glass of Scotch. i slept like crap, but woke up to have a waffle with berries on. The waffles i'm considering doing again. The rest wasn't worth the bad karma. The Scotch especially wasn't worth the trouble. Amazing how filling a little cheese can be. i've gotten used to eating until i'm bored of it, and still not being terribly full, but i eat a saucer-full o' cheddar, and i felt bloated. Can't imagine finding a slot to get a workout in today, but i'm gonna try anyhow. Weighed in at 190-191 this morning. Sub-190 is possible by Sat.
