FoodBanter.com - Food & Exercise -- 12/8/2003

Well, a big refeed dinner today. Plus I'm up a pound from last week,
though that's not a big issue -- I know I'm retaining water lately.
(On the other hand, between tonight's dinner and this coming weekend,
this week is likely to be a bad one for the diet :-). )

Food:

6:45 (driving to work): energy bar

10:30 (office cafeteria): English muffin w/ 3/4 oz. peanut butter; 1
cup fresh fruit (I was at a catered meeting from 7:30 to 1:00, but
all they had for breakfast was Danish pastries and donuts, so I went
to the cafeteria at the break to get something a little healthier.

12:30 (meeting food): insides of two sandwiches (which came on
croissants that I tossed): 2 oz. roast beef, 2 oz. turkey, 1.5 oz.
cheese; 1 cup fresh fruit

6:00 (Italian restaurant): 1/2 piece bread w/ olive oil and grated
parmesan; 1/3 serving gnocchi w/ tomato sauce (freebie from the
restaurant); 3 oz. asparagus w/ a little grated cheese; 6 lobster
ravioli & 3 shrimp w/ tomato sauce; dessert sampler with small slice
of tiramisu, a couple of strawberries w/ zabaglione, and a small scoop
of raspberry sorbet (another freebie); 12 oz wine (syrah); 2 oz.
sambucca (also a freebie) -- (We go to this place a lot and they're
very good to us :-).)

Exercise:

Bench: 2x10x45; 1x5x65; 1x5x85; 1x3x105; 1x2x115; 1x1x125; 3x1x135
(Had a little help from Tom on the 115s and up.)

Skull crushers (lying triceps extension, using EZ curl bar): 1x10x35;
1x8x45

Triceps pressdowns: 1x10 w/ 8 plates; 1x9 w/ 10 plates

Standing biceps curls with cable machine, alternating arms: 1x10x35
(Easy with the good arm, challenging for the bad one.)

Standing cable flyes, with cables affixed low, moving arms up: 1x10x15
(Not about the weight, but a range of motion exercise for the bad
shoulder.)

Standing cable flyes, with cables affixed high, moving down: 1x15x15;
1x10x35

Cardio: 10 minutes step mill, rolling hill program, varying level from
1 to 3 (doing it without holding on to side rails, to make it a bit
more challenging); 10 minutes recumbent bike, level 5, hill program,
average speed around 105-110 mph (Neither of these was too
challenging. As I rarely use either of these pieces of equipment, I
didn't have a good sense of what level to pick. I did cardio along
with Tom and these were his choice.)
