Time to get back on track….
Another weekend is gone! Things are looking up lately. My rear delt/rhomboid strain is gone, and my elbow tendinitis is much better. I give it 2 more weeks. It’ll be nice to get back to pounding the biceps , weighted pull-ups, and bent over rows. I had to sacrifice all those things because of those injuries. Luckily, it wasn’t too serious and hopefully I’ve learned my lesson.
I started playing in a basketball league on Sunday. We beat this team 105 to 35. I didn’t have to do too much since their guard play was horrible. I did see some faces from the past on other teams, and it’s going to get more difficult very soon. Watching the other teams got me motivated to start doing cardio and pull out the plyometrics. I want to be able to bring my game out on a high level, and lock some dudes up on D. We have some strong, quick dudes out there. Got to see some folks get dunked on too, and I am not trying to be one of them.
I was off work today, so I got up and ran 5 miles. I chugged a 40g protein shake with Barleans greens and hit the road. I haven’t jogged in so long, and this added weight does not help. I’m no where near my normal pace, but I wasn’t as bad as I thought I would be. A few more times and I’ll be golden. I never get to out of shape to where it’s extremely difficult to get back. Usually, I’m back up to par with two weeks of running.
I have to definintely get my carbs up now, because I will mess around and lose weight easily. After my little 40 minute escapade, I ate my 4 servings of Oatmeal and 3 yolks and 9 whites scrambled. Three Hours later, I had a 60 g protein shake and 4 more servings of oats. At 6:30, I’ll eat some fish and 2 medium sized sweet potatoes, string beans, and a salad. At 8pm, I’ll drink another shake, and eat 2 rice cakes. At 10pm, I may eat some chicken, string beans and a salad depending on how hungry I feel, and then maybe I’ll drink another shake at 12:30am. Did I tell you how much I hate eating! Shoot, I have to eat all this just to keep up with my damn strong ass workout partners.
Hopefully, all this added eating well translate over to intensity when I hit the gym tonight. I’m going to quit being lazy and hit abs and core first. Gotta get them back popping, plus I want to increase my deads and squat very soon. Oh..my food is done heating up. See you later…………………..
