day 2 of my 4th week on body for life is winding down. had a great day today. i slept in this morning because i had trouble waking up a few times last night. at work i made a bit of progress on the product development though i spent some time spinning in circles with a bug in mozilla. after work i went to the gym and did lower body. i ended up using the free weight machines instead of the standard cable machines. i wanted a bit more control over the weight and i prefer each body part work independently toward lifting the weights instead of being “along for the ride”. the burn was great and i hit 3 out of my 4 10’s. i don’t know how to hit a ten doing ab’s. no matter how hard i try it just doesn’t happen.


anyhow, i ate pretty well today:

  1. cottage cheese and 3 carob chip oatmeal cookies
  2. coffee and a raisin bran muffin
  3. chicken, rice, and veggies on a wheat wrap
  4. a coffee and black bean chili with part of a while grain roll
  5. 6 eggs (3 whites, 3 whole) scrambled and 3 slices of wheat bread

not to shabby. tomorrow i am going to try to get some additional complex carbs in and less simple carbs. i want to elevate that metabolism a bit more by trying to maintain my insulin levels all day. that includes cutting the amount of sugar is use in my coffee. while it’s not a ton, it’s still prohibitive.


i’m thinking about working from home tomorrow so i can vote and get to class a bit early to test out my web site on the mac’s. tomorrow is the last day for my web design class. i finished up the site yesterday but i may need to make some last minute changes, i did last time. i still find it amazing that people think html and the web is so platform independent. yea, it gives you tools to ease the platform nightmare, but it’s far from being ubiquitous.
