Today's funny:

A guy I work with starting asking me diet questions because he's just started a "high protein diet" and was wanting to compare notes, so to speak.

Me: What's the name of the diet?

Him: Oh just eating lots of protein everyday based on my weight.

Me: How much protein do you eat a day? How many carbs? How much good fat are you getting?

Him: I'd say around 100g of protein a day but it's hard to get much more than that in. I get plenty of carbs & fats I think.

Me: How much did you say you weighed and how much protein every day?

Him: weight is 170 and I get about 100g a protein a day if I can get it squeezed in.

I woke up and started my morning routine, took the dog out, got coffee, sat in the chair to wake up for a few minutes and then cardio. Same thing I do every morning now that I've incorporated am cardio.

I fell asleep in the chair.
No pilates.
Almost late for work.


I've taken extra iron supps this morning in hopes that it helps with the lethargy but I feel like I've been run over.

The good news is that I have DOMS! I guess the 4th set on leg day was what I needed for the push.

I'll have to make up the cardio at the gym tonite. I think it's upper body night.




I dislike mother nature a LOT at the moment.

Cramping
Bloating
Lethargy
General "P*issyness"

I'd like to embrace her..........between the grill of my truck & a brick wall.
