This was a pretty piss poor leg workout from a strength standpoint. I’m guessing it’s due to the fact I’ve been moving which has involved carrying large pieces of furniture up to flights of stairs. Normally, that wouldn’t be a big deal but when you are only getting 30 grams of carbs a day at over 250lbs it’s a bit of chore. To level with you, everything seems like a chore at that weight.
On the flipside, I’ve finalized my work schedule for the rest of the month which will allow me to visit some of Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Long Island. This should make for interesting travels because I don’t know my way around really except for the block I live on. I’m also not used to the smell of the subways in the summertime either!
The one great thing about living in Brooklyn though is the great meats and produce I have access to. Everywhere I’ve ever lived I normally did my shopping in a supermarket. Here I have access to numerous fish markets, butchers, produce stores, and a HUGE variety of authentic ethnic food. I wish I could enjoy more of the restaurant scene but for the time being I’ll be only allowed one meal out per week, if I reach my weight loss goal. I guess that means I’ll just have to bust my ass hard for some food with real flavor instead of the typical lightly seasoned fish, chicken, and lean beef. Man it gets old fast so bring on the pizza! I walk by Lenny’s Pizza everyday and it’s torture!!!
