Two-a-Days

When my son was in high school, he went out for football his freshman and sophomore years (before he had to quit after three! concussions). At that time two-a-days meant two preseason workouts every day during the week. For me now, it means committing to doing two sessions of mobility drills, one to include foam rolling. I so want to get over all these aches and pains I've been having so I can lift as heavy as possible and continue to make progress.

I did so-so on that commitment today. I woke up really sore, stiff and creaky after yesterday's workout. Yes, doing foam rolling and mobility would be the prescription for that but I just COULD NOT bring myself to get on the mat and roller that early in the morning. Fortunately, I felt better later in the day and got in some rolling and mobility when I got home. The hips and ankles are doing better. The shoulders are doing considerably better (a miracle!). So I'm happy and figure I just better quit whining, suck it up and get used to some soreness every day if I'm going to lift heavy weights. Just the way it is if sexification is to occur.

Food was good yesterday. As so:

Calories: 2248
Protein: 32.1%
Carb: 35.9%
Fat: 32%

I hopped on the scale too and am down to 221.6 lb (1.4 lb loss). Making progress!
