I started today off very sluggish ... went to bed too late, went to bed too cranky. Woke up feeling like absolute crap. I spent the entire day indoors, and when it was time to go home, walked out into the humidity and heat. I felt awesome right then.
I did get to rugby training, after taking a bath with my six month old boy. He's getting so big; I changed two t-shirts today, thanks to his barfing aim. 90 minutes of rugby skills and a bit of fitness. At the end I did this:
Four rounds of:
20 KB snatches each side (20 kilo bell used)
20 feet up push ups
10 KB rows
20 BW squats
then did three rounds of:
40 feet large punching bag drags
20 feet up push ups
I ate this today:
Breakfast: roast beef wraps ... coffee to drink. The roast beef was fresh out of the slow cooker.
snack: water
Lunch: tuna on salad, veggies and hummus, water to drink. Dates for dessert.
Dinner: roast beef on a bun. Was still delicious.
After rugby training: a beer and some grapefruit juice.
Man, it's nice and warm today - I'm glad I have A/C and can afford the electric bill to pay for it.

Monday may 30
...and Monday is here. Friggin awesome. Managed to see some of Hangover2 today while at work... Which was just weird for me. I also got home for lunch and my kids came to see me right at the end of work; they were all frazzled. Mondays are not fun days these days.
I ate this:
Breakfast oatmeal, banana, handful of almonds and coffee on the way in
Snack was a small coffee
Lunch was a little piece of lasagna, a banana and water to drink
Dinner was almonds, lasagna and a salad. Water to drink.
Got the children to bed, then went and did this for five rounds:
10 tire flips (oh, how i missed doing them)
25yard farmers walks, 50lbs in each hand
20 feet up push ups, one leg in mid air
20 50lb one arm rows
20 one arm kb presses
That felt pretty good at the end ... I'll get pics up later. I did have the sledgehammer with me for the tire, but was a paxked public park, so i left in the van. I also spray painted the prowler a cool shade of black. Right after i finished the paint job, i think i broke it.

Sunday May 29
I think I let May slip by me; at least it is getting warmer...no more snow. Lots of rain, though. I did get a workout in before the rains came. I did get up awful early. I was getting ready to get my workout in, but it was called off on account of baby. 6am feed, then 6:30 barfing... then the rest of them were awake and I couldn't get the kid off of me. Literally.
You will never see me with it on, but I had it on for most of the day. When I did get it off of me, I built my own prowler today...
I ate this:
Breakfast: oatmeal, banana, coffee to drink as I read the paper.
Snack: banana with water
Lunch: roast beef and hot goo sandwich
Dinner: small piece of lasagna, salad, water to drink.
Did this for four rounds as a workout:
20 feet up push ups
20 kb one handed swings
10 KB rows
10 KB snatches each side
2 x 25 m prowler runs (various weights ... there was a few heavily weighted runs, others, not so much)
then I did six rounds of this:
prowler sprint 25 feet (90 lb weights on)
prowler hand over hand rope pull back 25 feet
I do have a cleat for rope on the prowler, but it's pretty small. I'm thinking I need one from the local Marine shop. Luckily, there's one near my work; Imma thinking on the way home tomorrow. Or on lunch. In any case, I now have a prowler.
Friggin' awesome.
Saturday May 28
I kicked ass in the rugby game today. I play front row, and for those of you who don't know what that is, I spent most of the game today doing this:
I mean, a LOT of that, as the ball was wet and the day was rather crumby, at least until I got the ball... ;) I did manage to score two tries, as I was fitter than most of the players on the pitch. So'k. I did steal ball, make the tackles I had to make ... and kept the chatter of my teammates down. All in all, a good day. My club ended up winning all three games that day. W00t!
I ate this:
Breakfast: oatmeal, banana, apple.
Snack before the game: apple.
recovery after: beer. (I know, not really a great recovery, but I felt entitled)
Meal after the recovery: leftover chicken with salad and hot goo as a wrap. That was pretty good. Water to drink, as I put too much hot goo on.
Red wine to drink later.

Friday May 27
Fridays are like Wednesdays: I find it difficult to get a workout in, although I got one done today, in spite of myself.
I did this for four rounds, in my garage, after everyone else was in bed:
20 feet up push ups
20 KB two handed swings
10 kb snatches each side
20 BW squats
6 chin ups
I got it done; a most basic workout, but I got it done.
I ate this:
Breakfast: oatmeal, handful of almonds, banana and coffee.
Snack: water
Lunch: salad, no tuna (for a change), veggies and hummus, water to drink
Dinner: chicken on rice; veggies on the side. Red wine to drink.
On to tomorrow; Saturday is a rugby day.

Thursday May 26
Oh, today was a weird day. I woke up on time, turned the alarm clock off and went back to sleep for a few more minutes. My daughter woke me up; she was sleeping at my feet for half the night. I checked weight - 228. A step in the right direction.
At lunch, my son and daughter walked into my office as a surprise visit. We went out to lunch. That was fun. At the end of rugby training tonight, I just didn't want to drink beer there, so I went home. Like I said, an weird day.
I ate this:
Breakfast: banana, oatmeal with some almonds.
Snack: carrots and hummus with some prunes
Lunch: steak on a bun
snack: three slices of roast beef with some ketchup
After rugby : beer at home - left overs from last weekend.
I got to rugby training late, so I did my usual after training fitness. Four rounds of this:
20 Kb two handed swings (20 kilo bell used)
10 kb snatches each side
20 squats with the 50 lb sandbag
20 push ups with the sandbag
4x 40 yd sprints, still with that damn sandbag.
after that, did three rounds of push ups, squats 20 each
then at the end did a set of eight minutes of KB movement - just anything. Cleans, snatches, presses... just kept the bell moving for eight minutes. That was hard. I went home after a shower. Just disappointed with what I'm doing these days. But I'm thinking tomorrow will be better.

Wed May 25
Wednesdays are always a difficult day to get a workout in these days. I did get some stretching in while watching the Lighting game tonight; it was what my body needed today. Just plain sore.
In any case, ate this today, with a nod to my teammate reader who wants me to cut down on eating meat three meals a day:
Breakfast: fresh strawberries and a handful of almonds, water and coffee to drink.
Snack half a litre of water
Lunch: salad with carrots and hummus. Prunes and water.
Snack got home, more veggies and hummus.
Dinner: followed the snack fairly quickly. Slices of roast beef with a side salad. Water to drink.
Not really missing the cable these days - the playoff hockey and basketball are being streamed online for free, the television shows are all on Youtube... and the Toronto Star has a free app, too. It's all good, man. All good.
