Today was all about leftovers. Everything I ate today was made yesterday or the day before. I like that. There is something about the anticipation of getting to enjoy again a meal I’ve already tasted. And I seem to get a simple joy when it’s even more delicious the 2nd time around.

I had my hard workout today. It was supposed to be full force for 30 min. I survived 15 minutes. I’m not sure exactly what happened. Maybe it was 5 flippin’ days without coffee. Is my body going through a severe detox? I’m not sure exactly what it was, but I finished half of my workout and felt the room spinning around me.

Here was the 1st part of my workout that I was supposed to finish in 15 minutes:
50 – Push-Ups
50 – Squats with overhead press holding 30 lb medicine ball
50 – Squat Thrusts

Has anyone out there ever done a squat thrust? It’s what they make you do in hell in between each move. You squat down and put your hands on the floor. Then you kick both legs back until you are in the push-up position. After that, you pull your legs back in so you are back in squat position and then you stand back up. Brutal. I finished my last squat thrust with the seconds ticking down, and I then proceeded to fall over. I did the math as I lay in my own pool of sweat panting like an overheated Bull Dog. Just a week ago, I did a workout with 300 reps in it with all kinds of crazy stuff. I was fine. I could have smoked a cigarette during that workout. So I blame it on detox. My body must be hating me right now, and it serves me right for putting it through hell. Sprouting grains, sans coffee, and no cheats. I deserve to only make it through half of my workout. That’s right…I only made it through half. I will end with this. I drank a cup of Whey with water, and in about 2 minutes, I starting feeling a lot better.

Tonight I can proudly admit I have not watched a re-run of Seinfeld or anything else on the Dish. TV is such a wonderful thing, but like anything in life, it can become too much. So I read, walked the Dobe 2 miles, and am saying good night to all of you faithful OH&H readers. All 4 of you.
