It began with a warm bowl of oatmeal with raisins. I love that sweet, plumpness that raisins add to oatmeal. It’s like having a treat with each bite. I have my Pro Complex protein–my preferred powder for oatmeal because it isn’t sweet. The stuff tastes horrible when you drink it on its own. I downed all of my pre-workout supplements. I realized that the last batch that I purchased were ‘tablets’ and not capsules. Which means that they were huge. To get them down, I just chewed them. Now, the citrulline isn’t bad, because it is sour–citrus. But the arginine tastes like the smell of feet. With my last order, I got ‘capsules’ and it is so much easier to take everything. But, if push comes to shove and I run out of capsules, I guess I’ll be chewing, again. And I’m okay with that. I did a 10 minutes warm-up on the stepmill and headed to the aerobics studio. My warm-up was walking lunges with a 40# db and then 50#, for several passes across the floor. Next time, I want to use a 60# bb. All I could do was take it one step at a time. That’s all you can do when everything is burning.  Then I did single-legged lunges on a step with no weight, then holding a 15# db, and then a 25# plate. I got alot of burn just where I wanted it. I focused on pushing through my heels and staying low. From what I understand, this builds mass. Well, we chall see. I need all of the butt mass that I can get. My muscles were ‘pre-exhausted’ at this point so I hit the wieght room. I went to the leg press, but a different one than I normally use. I got to #230, today, with my jelly legs. Afterwards, I did single-leg curls (30, 40, 50, 60#). I got two reps on the 60. I finished up with leg extensions, two legs and then one. Tomorrow, is just an hour of cardio–stepmill.

Yesterday, I was told by a co-worker: "I love the way you walk. So much confidence. You walk like a detective". The swagger strikes, again.
