Squats And Milk

It may appear that I’ve been slacking on my blog…and some of you have already pointed this out to me (not pointing any fingers Josh).  But the reality is that I haven’t had much to write about because before last night I hadn’t been into the gym since Thursday.  I was scheduled for a Saturday workout…but working 18 hours of overtime this weekend kind of crushed that dream.  

For those of you that know me…or read the first Post in this blog…when I don’t workout, I don’t eat.  This weekend my diet was horrible.  I hadn’t gone shopping, so my normal meal plan was out the window.  Instead I threw a bunch of tuna and salmon packets into my backpack along with a bunch of Easy Mac-n-cheese and a tuppaware container.  Then at work I would make mac-n-cheese, and throw one of the fish packets into it.  But since that wasn’t enough food to fill me up…hey look…I sit next to a snack fund.  Is there anything healthy there?  Not a chance.  I talked myself into believing that oatmeal pies were healthy, but only believed it long enough to devour it.

Anyway…on to the workout.  I increased the squats another 5 lbs (190 lbs), and was able to finish all 20 with good form.  I added 50 lbs to my deadlifts (from 225 to 275), and did 2 sets of 4.  Even bench went up to 95 lbs dumbbells.  Not a bad workout.

But I dropped a pound of weight on the scale.  I’m back on track though…this time I hope for good.
