I haven't done much of anything since I got home last Tuesday the 16th, I have been eating pretty well overall and it shows just looking in the mirror from the IF and the eating well I can tell my bloat is down and I'm probably sitting the 9-10%bodyfat area which makes me really happy. I've been IFing around 16+ hours and having a small eating window the last few days now that my schedule is able to accommodate it better.

Hopefully today I'll be able to hit some iron!

The only workout I've done since being home was this one at the pool on Fathers Day:

June 21, 2009

3 rounds:
swim 200m
10 burpees
Total time - 17:53 (4:37, 1:05, 5:03, 0:53, 5:31, 0:47)

Notes:
Not bad! That 3rd round of swimming didn't feel good at all, breast stroking was all I could do to stay afloat! My breathing felt pretty labored after the 2nd set of burpees and trying freestyle just didn't work out that well.

Notes:
-Wendler's 5/3/1 program Day 1, week 3 - Not great
I've been off for almost 2 weeks and wasn't sure if I should have started my last cycle over or to keep chugging along.
-Military press - neh
-pullups - Happy with the sets of 4 with 30#'s
-ring dips - haven't done these in months so I kept the reps low
-LCCJ - These felt pretty good today at 1 minute intervals, next time 2 minutes then switching.

It HAS to be the scales, I'm not one of those guys that starts losing weight from not touching a weight. I have been eating a LOT better since I've been home and IF'ing everyday but that is just ridiculousness!

[Derek Simonds]

Yeah, uh huh it has to be the scales...

Seriously 9 lb's is roughly a gallon and a quarter. So a little dehydration and a big ole dupmpage and you are there.

Walking around NYC with Laurie and the kids, carried Connor a little more than 3/4 of the time it felt like, a little too much hustle and bustle for Connor to be walking along busy Friday NY crowds.

Probably somewhere between 3.5 - 4 miles total. Highlight of the day was probably seeing Gavin Rossdale of Bush fame at the Victorian Gardens amusement park in Central Park with one of his kids. Laurie walked up to him and got confirmation that it was indeed him. When we get back home I'll have to remember to post my little paparazzi shot of him from afar when me and Laurie were debating if it was him or not!

hill sprints outside my parents house - ~25-29 seconds per up and then 1:30 rest x 8

Carlos Santana Pushup routine: (1 minute rest between sets)
wide pushups - 15, 15, 12
