I like the song lyrics to start off the posts…

“I woke up this morning
Didn’t recognize the man in the mirror
Then I laughed and I said, “Oh silly me, that’s just me”
Then I proceeded to brush some stranger’s teeth
But they were my teeth, and I was weightless”

– Kurt Vile, Pretty Pimpin

resting today. car has a flat tire and the replacement will not be in until friday and I am too lazy to put on the spare (and capitalize letters at the beginning of sentences). therefore i am relying on my wife/wife’s car for transportation

i might mess around and do some push ups or something. probably not.

last night i had taco salad for dinner, tonight its chicken legs w/ indian szns and sweet potatoes and green bell peppers and some onion. then steak the rest of the week.

life update: i am also doing a japanese budgeting strategy that has been interesting so far. its one part tracking your expenses carefully one part meditating at the end of each week on the money you spent. the goal here is to increase my total cash savings for a down payment on a house. i would like to be down to 205 by the end of next week. it will take some serious caloric deficit work on my part. dead lifting is going okay, i am over it, i just wanna row but i am going to hit that 400 lb mark before i dive into cardiovascular power world.

I have erased this sins of the weekend (philly cheese steaks) and am now back under 210 (209.4).  last night for dinner i had  a salad with romaine and carrots, then a chicken breast (sznd with s&p + paprika) and some sauteed zuccs. tonight is taco salad, whoop.  I pretty much eat the same thing for lunch every day of the week. either my spaghetti sauce + zuccs or tomatillo pork stew + sweet potatoes. Trust the process.

did not row last night because I decided to go to the grocery store instead. So, instead of taking a rest day today it will be a row day + a little bit of lower body push.

roll, stretch, indian club, hang, pull ups, reverse hypers

Brief pause

5 x 2000m row @ 1:00 rest// 1 – 3 stroke rate cap of 18, 4 see what you can do, 5 EZ

Life update: Molly and I are coming off Paleo this month. Lessons about carbs were learned. Going to increase my calories a bit once I am done with this program. Starting operator fitness in a week:) I will be going carnivore soon because vegetables are for animals lower on the food chain.
