Ok today was REALLY strange on the food side. I had a plan. Eggs for breakfast. Chicken for lunch, apple for snack Stirfry for dinner. Then my wife reminded me that we promised the kids we'd take them to Pirates of the Caribbean. Ok I can cope. Mentally realizing that some popcorn was in my future. We then (since we had pulled them from school) Took em swimming. So, I got up late. didn't get a decent breakfast had a powerbar. Which I don't mind. They are reasonable. hmm.

So got done the pool and didn't have time to go home to get food. Stop in a English Friendly place and look at the menu dang. Nothing good. Then my wife orders a philly cheesesteak and I get a chicken soup. Well She didn't like it and I couldn't let it sit. 1/2 of it gone. I'm not sure how bad it was but I just took a regular one cause the food gods WERE NOT smiling on me.

Fast forward to dinner. We were going to eat at home but ended up at a nice restaurant where they weren't serving dinner yet. No hassle. I order the roasted chicken, ends up I can only eat half of it since my son needs to switch entrees with me. So I do take the blame for the wine. (It was really nice) but I had planned on being good with the chicken. Ok time to take the frustrations out on the kettlebells. Looking to do some volume with snatches in there.

Wow. Ok Kettlebells got bailed on today. Wasn't feeling strong did 2 sets of 10 L/R and my left wrist was hurting. Just going to wait a day and see if I recover enough. I just need 3 KB workouts a week. but that felt odd.

Cardio Day or a Visit to the shrine.
