Today started off fairly well and got better.
Breakfast was asmoothie - I finally had enough time to make one this week!
Lunch was at a work event. I ate pita and veggies and hummus. A couple of samosas, too. Coffee and water to drink.
My boy came to work with my wife for a visit. Made a good day even better. Got to feed him lunch.
Dinner was lasagna and a salad. Water to drink.
10k run in 46 minutes after a nap and feeding my boy. And changing diaper after diaper. I'm not sure it's healthy for me to see that much poop. I'm glad he's pooping, I'm just not sure I should be seeing that much.
Off for a shower and taking care of my boy.

Thursday Jan 13
I was rushed again today - life was made a little more simple by virtue of the fact I had to only make one lunch, as only one of my kids was going to school today. I was off to work, the rest were at home, sick or otherwise caring for the sick or a newborn. I made the noon doctor's appointment for the newborn, too, leaving my dad in charge of the sick one. It's almost too much. I long for a boring week next week.
The sun is out, however, melting some of the snow. That looks awesome for a run right after work. I need to get to the rugby club - there's things afoot. Lots of nagging issues that I'd like to hear about. That, and I'd like to pay a dude for mounting my tv on the wall. It's awesome, man.
I ate this today:
Breakfast: Belt and coffee and Timmy Ho's. You know, regardless of just how crappy the food is there, I seem to be making progress. I'm starting to wonder if I hadn't lost my mind and gained a few minutes in the morning to make a proper breakfast, just how much further along I might be now.
Lunch: Had to get to the appointment, so this was early. Tuna sandwich with veggies. Water to drink.
Dinner: was right after work, without my kids... which makes me not like Thursday at all. Kids were busy at gymnastics or in bed, lying still. After dinner I got a snuggle and a nap in with two of my kids. Which was a great dessert.
Then I did a 6.5 k run. Stretching after was cut short.
After run snack: roast beef wrap and beer to drink. It felt good.

Wed Jan 12
I worked out barefoot in my garage/gym tonight. I thought I was all tough and stuff, then I saw this:
Meh, anyways, I did this:
8-10 dead lifts 120 lbs
20 TH KB swings 40 lb KB
5 Chin ups
20 BW squats
10 inclined push ups
8-10 tricep presses
8-10 bicep curls
Did AMRAP in 25 minutes. Got 6 or 7 rounds in.
Ate this today:
Breakfast: Belt and a coffee on the way in. I seriously have to take the time to get myself a better breakfast at home. This is getting stupid
Lunch: tuna on salad. Water to drink.
Snack: roast beef on a plate, water to drink.
Dinner: pasta with more water, almonds for dessert. I was more worried about my kids at this time than anything else. Two barfing and I needed something in my stomach.
My boy is about to wake up for his 9pm feeding. Gotta go.

Tues Jan 11
Ugh. This is one of "those days". I felt like living death, called in sick and worked out anyways. Why? Because I had to. I went for a run ... nice a slow. My little boy is under the weather as is my wife.
So the three of us got on each others nerves all day. Such is life.
As I felt like crap, I ate like crap:
Breakfast - nothing. A sip of coffee
Lunch: Roast beef sandwich, water to drink after the run.
Dinner: Lentil Soup and a salad. Later I had freshly made roast beeg in a sandwich. Oh, that was good. Little horseradish, too. Mmmmm.
Boy is feeling better, as I am, too. Lots of rest today, too.
I'm hoping for a snow filled day tomorrow - it's already coming down quite nicely - so that no one shows up. Except for me, of course.

Mon Jan 11
I just know that this week is going to be hard.
I got home today, ready to get in my workout, and as soon as I was in the door,a baby was promptly handed to me and I was sat on the couch and told to feed him. So, I did. The we fell asleep. Which was cool.
Then, I fed him again, then I put some fish on the BBQ. Now, say what you will about men cooking on open flame .. but Salmon off of the BBQ is simply friggin awesome.
I ate this on the day:
Breakfast: coffee and a Tim Horton's belt.
Snack: Coffee
Lunch: roast beef sandwich and water to drink
Dinner Salmon and asparagus (which is probably the healthiest thing I have eaten in the last four months. Seriously) with water and a glass of red win to drink.
After dinner, the boy somehow landed in my lap again ... and so I fed him again. Then I changed him. Then I burped him, then got him to sleep. Then I did something crazy:
warm up, 30 lb KB swings, presses. Skipping for a few minutes.
Ladder with the 70 lb KB: 2 handed swings, then 45 lb sandbag squats
10,8,6,4,2,2,4,6,8,10.
between each set of swings I did ten push ups, too. So the first rounds looked like this:
10 two handed swings, (one single handed snatch, each side, too) 10 SB squats, 10 push ups. Then 8 two handed swings, snatch, 8 SB squats, 10 push ups. 6,1,6,10 push ups etc.
Then, after I finished that ladder, I went for a 6k run.
That was a good workout. I'm hurting. But it's a good hurt.

Sun Jan 9
Man, this was a long day. I was up until 4am, getting my kid to bed. I'm up tonight, too. Which means that tomorrow is going to be rough.
I went for a run this morning - decent pace for 28 minutes. I should be doing more this week, but I get the sense that I'll be at home more often... which means more gym workouts than running.
Ate this:
Breakfast none, was asleep until after the run. Water after the run.
Lunch: roast beef wraps with veggies. Water and OJ to drink.
Dinner: chicken with veggies. three smilie fries. Milk to drink.
I got some work done around the house, looked after my children and generally took it easy after a rather frantic few weeks, man. Seriously, I friggin' tired.
As an after thought, I'm thinking that in order to get some training done this week coming up, I'm going to have to do it later in the evening, while my kid is asleep, before the midnight feeding. It's more or less the only time I get to myself- no children needing me for anything other than a roof. Whew! That's going to make stuff tough. I also know that this week the kids have stuff starting up again; swimming and gymnastics. I'm going to be taking them there, which affords me small windows for training. Hmmm.
And I need groceries... ;)

This is a quick a dirty update for today. It's late and I'm tired.
Ate this today:
Breakfast: roast beef and hummus on a small bun, coffee and water to drink
Lunch: Roast beef on a bun. Water to drink. Multivitamin.
Dinner was home made pizza. Onion, chicken and tomato on mine. Red wine to drink.
I had the newborn in my arms most of the day, except when I did two rounds of shoveling the driveway. All in all, about 30 minutes of lifting and getting crappy snow out of the way. He's growing, I just need him to sleep a bit more.
