Previous night's sleep - mixed - 7.5 hours - broken - went to bed around 1:10am, woke up at 6am, to go to the gym. Rana was supposed to call me to wake me up to go, so I figure, free sleep, I go back to sleep, and wake up when she calls. She didn't. I woke up again around 7:25am. Again, with the free sleep. Woke up a little after 8am, and then again at 8:45am when Rana texted me to say that she had overslept. I was then about 15 minutes late to work.
Consumption - not good, not terrible.
Breakfast - fat free vanilla yogurt w/ vanilla almond crunch Bare Naked Granola - bought the fat free Kroger brand
Lunch - beef stroganoff over egg noodles, steamed broccoli, and potatoes O'Brian (hash browns, peppers, and onions) - the broccoli from work looked disgusting - bland in color and limp, the florets were mush and the stems somewhat retaining some firmness, but definitely no crunch - surprisingly good, I wouldn't be surprised if the broccoli was bathed in butter and salt after said requisite steaming
Snack - shredded lettuce, light Caesar dressing, and chicken salad
Dinner - Buffarella w/ bleu cheese and celery - at Wild Wing Cafe - money - though, the chicken inside was not crispy - better for me than wings I suppose
Snack - popcorn - watched Fast and Furious - not worth it, not better than the first
Snack - pizza - two small pieces, equivalent to about 1 slice of a large pizza - credit Visa - portabello, mozz, tomato sauce, and alfredo sauce.
no workout
takeaway: I need more sleep. Period point blank.

Day 27 - Monday, Apri 6
Sleep - poor - 5.5 hours - at most - start/stop - poor - went to bed around 1:30 and woke up around 6:15am
Consumption - good during work, not terrible after
Post Workout - Whey + water
Breakfast - fat free vanilla yogurt w/ vanilla almond crunch Bare Naked Granola - bought the fat free Kroger brand - 10 less calories per serving (1 cup) than the Dannon light and fit - terrible mistake - will never do it again. I don't know if it's Fat Free or because it's Kroger brand, either way - regret.
Lunch - potato salad + tuna salad + salad - lettuce, onions, bell peppers, croutons, sunflower seeds, fake bacon bits, and lite caesar dressing
Snack - more of the aforementioned salad
Dinner - approximately 10pm - Pizza - pesto, spinach, and goat cheese + pesto, spinach, goat cheese, and pepperoni - ate about the equivalent of a medium Domino's pizza - I bought the pizza dough from EndZone Pizza - about $2 for the dough in the two pizzas, stretched and rolled it out and topped with the aforementioned - ate while watching the latest episode of 24.
Workout - biceps and shoulders - awesome - I'm getting stronger
seated curls dumbbells - 1x8 + 2x6 45lb
+ military dumbbell press - 3x10 45lb
+ seated shrugs w/ dumbbells - 3x10 45lb hold 10 seconds on last rep
standing curls - E-Z curl bar - 3x10 approx. 70lbs - 30 on each side
+standing flies - 1x10 25lb + 2x10 20lb
hammer curls dumbbells - 1x10 20lb + 2x10 25lb
+front raises w/ dumbbells - 3x8 10lb approx. (left, right, then together = 1)
+ standing bent over reverse butterfly - hits the rear delt - 3x10lb
Leg raises on a decline bench - 3x15 - legs extended and coming up past 90 degrees from the ground - killer - done in between exercises - on the last set, held legs off the ground for 20 seconds.
the "+" indicates a superset
I will attempt to workout tomorrow before work. I have a bunch of errands to run tomorrow after work and so can't go to the gym after work - still have yet to submit my taxes. Procrastination definitely works right now.

Day 26 - Sunday, April 5
Sleep - decent - 6+ hours - start/stop - decent - went to bed past 2am and woke up around 9:30am
Consumption - train wreck
Breakfast - 4 x sausage patties, 4 x fried eggs (sunny side up), lots of rice - trust me, it will change your life + 2 or 3 ice cream sandwiches + 1 x can of coca cola followed by a two hour nap.
Lunch - 3 x sausage links, 1 nathan's hot dog - no bun, 3 x fried eggs (sunny side up), lots of rice + 2 x cans orange crush soda + 1 or 2 ice cream sandwiches
Dinner - pho noodles - credit visa - plus 2 ice cream sandwhiches
So...I did very little today
The weather outside was beautiful...after a late start I ate a coma inducing breakfast and watched How I Met Your Mother until I passed out. Then I woke up and picked Alan up from the Audi dealership and came home and did it again, except, I didn't sleep this time around, but watched many more episodes...
Also, I made chocolate covered strawberries for work tomorrow - think of it is a repayment of debt to Mary. A couple of weeks ago, maybe more like a month ago, I catered an event and asked Mary if she could make some of her famous brittle. She asked that I provide the ingredients and she produced. Her brittle is crunchy without being hard. I can not convey how good it is. Salted butter, hershey bars, sugar, slivered almonds, and chopped walnuts...
so good. So, tomorrow, I will bring her some chocolate covered strawberries along with the makings for the strawberry granola parfaits mentioned yesterday.

Day 22 - Wednesday, April 1
Previous night's sleep - poor - went to bed past 1am and woke up around 6am
Consumption - good at work - not so good after
Post - workout - whey + water
Breakfast - lowfat peach yogurt w/ raw rolled oats added - pretty good. the uncooked oats are very chewy and nutty in flavor, though I think i would prefer if they were toasted, unfortunately, I don't have access to a toaster or oven at work.
Lunch - salad w/ diced ham, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, sunflower seeds, fake bacon bits, croutons, and balsamic vinaigrette + tuna salad + seafood salad - all together, weighed about 1.25lbs. ate 3/5's of it for lunch and later for a snack
Snack - small banana
Snack the rest of the aforementioned salad
Dinner - steamed broccoli and a hot dog w/ relish, mustard, and ketchup
Casein + water
Snack - hot dog w/ relish, spicy brown mustard, and ketchup + jalapeno Cheetos (money) + some chunky monkey - about 1/2 a pint
It was the after dinner that did it. I totally wasn't hungry and was ready to eat some vanilla yogurt and granola.
Workout - cardio - on track - 1 hour at 60% heart rate (avg. 131 / minute) on the elliptical machine
I don't think I am going to workout before work tomorrow - my entire body is sore, I was planning on doing biceps and shoulders, but my shoulders are sore, possibly from doing chest and back on Monday. Maybe I will squeeze some cardio in, but my knees are starting to not feel so good...we'll see how I feel tomorrow.
Who knows what tomorrow brings...
