Building a Better Jay

OK, now I’m just mad.  I was at the gym, slapping plates onto the bar to do some serious benching.  …and I couldn’t even put up 180?  I guess that 2 week break did result in some strength loss.  I’m betting I’ll be back at 200 in the next 2 weeks, but it still made me angry.  I guess that anger was good for the rest of the workout because I didn’t have any other problems with "loss of strength" after that.  Perhaps the problem was an improper warm-up.  I always struggle with warm-ups.  I’m never sure what the appropriate weight / # of reps is to ensure I’m warm without taking heavy reps away at the end of my working sets.  I hope that’s clear.

So, today is going to be a crazy day filled with back-to-back-to-back meetings at work.  I hate it when most of my day is just talking with people about work I’ve done or work I will do.  I mean, just let me do my job.  If you want to talk, I’ll give you a 5 minute update over the phone.  I’m so personable sometimes.   I just hate being needlessly busy.  "Busy work" drives me insane.  I loathe doing a task only to appease others and providing no real value to my employer or my work.  I know it is a necessary evil of business in the modern age (status reports, quarterly statements, blah blah blah), but it is truly not my cup of tea. 

Oooh, tea!  That reminds me: I have some green tea I was hoping to try today.  I haven’t had green tea in awhile and I really would like to get back to drinking it.  Of course you can never replace coffee, but I do like the earthy flavor of a solid tea.

In my ongoing effort to make the world a happy place, here is a list of my nutrition (plan) for today: 

I’m honestly never hungry because, well, it is a lot of food.   I also add in black coffee in the AM and after lunch.  I drink about 130oz of water each day.

So, there is my bulking plan!
