day 4 of week 4 went a bit slower then i anticipated. i got into work at the normal time and proceeded to be stressed and pushed and pulled here there and every where. another day in software development … i love it. i ate good today surprisingly.

  1. cottage cheese and 3 carob chip oatmeal cookies
  2. coffee and a oatmeal raisin bran muffin
  3. turkey jive burger, lettuce, tomato, onion, on a whole grain bun and potato slices
  4. bbq chicken breast (lightly), lettuce, tomato, onion, on a whole grain bun
  5. coffee
  6. 6 eggs (3 whites, 3 whole) scrambled and 3 slices of wheat bread

the burger and chicken sandwich were from heart wise. they were better than i thought they were going to be actually. i think i might have them more often.


after work i went to the gym for my upper body workout. it’s been a long time since i was this sore immediately after a workout. i used the hammer strength machines today instead of the normal machines. it allows each muscle on each arm to work independently rather than have the other muscle carry it along. anyhow i used those machines and the normal free weights.


i did the following exercises:

chest
hammer strength mts incline press, free weight dumbbell fly
shoulders
hammer strength mts shoulder press, arnold press
back
hammer strength mts row, hammer strength mts high row
tricep
cybex tricep cable push down, free motion tricep cable machine
bicep
hammer strength bicep curl, reverse barbell curl

by the time i was done i was barely able to carry my backpack to the car. i’m going to sleep like a baby tonight that’s for sure.
