Hump Day

Dieting is such a pain in the ass. You have to deal with ignoring food all around you, spend inordinate amounts of time planning and prepping food and fighting hunger at all times of the day and night. Monday night I suffered bad insomia because the tummy was growling all night keeping me awake. This is somewhat unusual because Monday is a high calorie day. Now, "high" is a relative term. I'm still in a defict on my high calorie days, just not as much as other days. Usually if I have insomia, it's on the low calorie days. Having that happen on a high calorie day made me concerned that my hunger levels were leading me to an eventual binge. So I decided to up my calories a bit today to give my body and mind a small break.

So as I was putting together my food plan for the day, I added an extra 500 calories which brought my intake up to 250 calories over maintenance. Not enough to do any damage, just enough to feel satisfied.

So on to today's workout.

Lat pulldown 50# x 3 x 8

Fun time! Cardio finisher!! 5 minutes!!!
Farmers walk, 16 kg kettlebell in each hand. Walk 40 ft across the gym, put down kettlebells, do 5 jumping jacks. Pick up kettlebells and walk back again. Do 5 jumping jacks, turn around and do it again.

I did 8 rounds. It was epic.
