No workout

Very hot and muggy this morning. Got up before 6:00am to work for a client in New Jersey who was going to start by 8:15am. By the time I was done, I just wasn't into it. The rain was coming down so hard, it made me blue.

Breakfast

Coffee, a half grapefruit, medicine and vitamins.

Mid-Morning Snack

More coffee, and a yogurt with Cool Whip.

Lunch

A sardine sandwich on an Ezekiel bun with sliced shallots and a warmed artichoke heart. Baked beans (single-serving 140 calories) and a very Big water.

Big workout

I got up really early on Sunday to start working on the deck. It was very warm and got warmer as the day wore on. I worked straight through to about 5:30pm, then took a shower and went out. I had such an intense workout that I had severe pains in both legs (citric acid phenomenon, I later learned).

Breakfast

Coffee and both sides of an Ezekiel muffin, with almond butter on one side and Nutella on the other.

Lunch

A hot dog on the grill with ketchup and mustard/relish. Big water.

It should be noted that I was perspiring like a nut all day and drank at least seven very large glasses of water while I worked.

Dinner

Celebrity Diner. Coffee, corn muffin, bacon, eggs and home fries, all well-done (except the eggs, of course).

Saturday is going to be a scorcher

Improvements continue

I totally spaced out Friday. I did some exercise, but a lot of yard work, and today (hopefully) there will be a lot more. Today is supposed to set some kind of heat record (89ºF), so it could be a scorcher.

Yesterday I ate pretty lightly, starting out with my usual oatmeal and coffee; for lunch I had the usual Italian veggie sausage on the grill and there was a key lime yogurt in there somewhere. For dinner, we went to Pollo E Paisa and had chicken, skirt steak, shrimp, salad and San't Gria. Before going out however, I had a pretty stiff dirty martini. When I got home later, I crashed hard and woke up with my clothes on at ten minutes to two a.m.

Breakfast

Waffles and coffee, medicine and vitamins with a swig of grapefruit juice.

Lunch

No lunch.

Dinner

Went to see Alex at Carnegie Hall with Bob and Ann. Had dinner at Rosa Mexicano. Guacamole and Bob and I shared a lump crabmeat enchilada. After the show, we had coffee and I had a piece of wonderful chocolate mousse cake.
