No time for the Elliptical of Joy this morning.  I was planning to get up early and do it, but I punked out (Damn late night staring-at-the-ceiling!).  Instead, I’m thinking of having the kids hide the sugar laden sweets I’d most likely snack upon throughout the day.  I’m guessing I’ll burn a lot of fat searching, cursing and just plain threatening the kids to re-produce said goodies.

*That there is the German word for doughnut- a strawberry frosted, autumn be-sprinkled doughnut!

I thought it sounded a lot less sugar and fat laden than the English word for doughnut, which is still doughnut!

And if it sounds a lot less sugar and fat laden than it has to be a lot less sugar and fat laden!

Right?

Great arms day.  I’m all types of giggly happy at how well everything went.

Cardio was 16 minutes on the Elliptical of Joy whilst grooving to the chocolate-in-my-peanut-butter like sounds of Smashing Pumpkins and DMX.

*What?  Were the pretzels covered in white chocolate?  I can neither confirm nor deny that!!

**I just get a kick out of eating the crap that people send to the kids.  Having the kids watch me do it is an added bonus!

I am content.

I used to think that people who were strange, off-putting, and just a bit mentally disturbed/unstable grew up to be President of  Iran.  Imagine my surprise when I discovered that they also deliver over-priced furniture ordered by my wife from a place called Yuppy Barn (or is it Pottery?  I can never be sure!).

Oh well.  He’s gone now.  The door’s are all locked.  And I managed to put in a decent leg day.

Now if only I could put the kids on MUTE for an hour or so.  Then the day would be perfect.

-I guess there was no need to worry about the quality of today’s workout.  My shoulders are all kinds of sore right now.

-Quads tomorrow.

I may require a Girl Scout Cookie fix in the near future!

Pre Workout/Breakfast: Milk, oats, yogurt, apple, glutamine, cinnamon, whey.

Workout: Water, creatine, dextrose, whey.

Post Workout: Chili

Post Post Workout: Granola and milk

Snack: Cheese and crackers*

Meal 4: Steak and fries

Meal 5/Good Night Shake: Water, cottage cheese, peanut butter, glutamine, cinnamon, whey.

*I was going to go with peanut butter crackers but realized I’ve got enough fat going on in the routine so I switched to some light cheese.

Just a minor Samoas craving earlier today.  Nothing too drastic.   No Girl Scouts were harmed or forced to hand over the secret stashes I know they keep in their underground fortress.

I guess that makes it a good day.

Today feels like a Logyday.  Yes, I know it’s a Monday, but given the massive amounts of Blah  I’m  giving off today,  I think it’s safe to say that today feels like a Logyday.

I’ve managed a few sparks of energy today, namely in my workout (which wasn’t as awe-inspiring as I would have hoped), and in the kitchen, but nothing that could snap the Logyday feeling.

My only hope now is if a child does something wrong and sends me into a kid-kicking rage.

Well, technically not really a rage.  And not so much kid-kicking.  More like a finger-wagging, "I’m going to give you extra school work and take away anything with even a trace of sugar if you persist in your efforts to *insert heinous and punish-worthy offense*"

Of course, kid-kicking sounds so much better.

Alright, I’ll turn my babble-off and get on with the show.

Okay shoulder day.  I had a small, niggling pain in my right shoulder that keeps popping up during chest and shoulders.   Since today was shoulders, it popped up.  Extra warm up next time.
