Food & Exercise -- 5/29/2006

Home today for the holiday. Since I didn't go to the gym yesterday I
did so today. Otherwise haven't done anything exciting -- catching up
on TiVo programs and a little housework and office work.

Food:

* 8:00 (home): 2 poached eggs on 1 slice whole wheat toast w/ 3 slices
melted f/f cheese & 10g grated parmesan
* 10:45 (gym, between lifting & yoga): All Bran cereal bar
* 2:00 (home): turkey burger on whole wheat hamburger bun w/ 3 slices
f/f cheese, dill pickle slices, & catsup
* 6:00 (home): orange
* 7:30 (home): 11 small turkey meatballs in 2 tbsp f/f turkey gravy; 4
oz. steamed green beans; 2 oz. mushrooms
* 11:00 (home -- planned): 250g f/f Greek yogurt w/ 100g strawberries

Totals: 1413 calories, 42g fat (27%), 135g carbs (38%), 131g protein

Exercise:

10:00 -- Upper Body: DB bench press; DB flyes; DB bent-over rows;
seated cable rows; machine-assisted pull-ups (parallel and overhand
grip); a shoulder rehab exercise -- straight-armed presses in Smith
machine lying on Swiss ball; seated DB shoulder press; DB curls;
overhead triceps extension machine

{I've decided to stop tracking and logging the weights and reps that I
do. I tend to get compulsive about wanting to do better than -- or at
least as well as -- previous sessions, and get upset with myself if I
don't. I don't want this to take away from my enjoyment of exercise.
I'm not worried that it will keep me from pushing myself, as I always
try to do as much weight as I feel like I can on the day -- I just
don't want to keep detailed records. If I get back into a mode of
wanting to compete again I'll have to change this, but for now I'm
going to settle for general fitness.}

11:00 -- 75 minute vinyasa yoga class

Sounds like you're really conscientious about taking care of yourself,
and I commend you for it. Although I'm not aware of your needs nor am I
an expert on nutrition, do you feel that additional fruits and
vegetables would be of greater benefit to YOU, to assist your dieting
efforts?

Well, having lost 130 lbs. and kept it off for 2 years, I don't think
I need a lot of assistance with my dieting efforts. As to whether
more fruit and veggies would be good for my health -- probably. I
normally eat a decent amount of veggies, though. I have a hard time
digesting most fruits so eat a fairly limited amount of them. I'm in
pretty good health anyway :-).
