End of Days!

No, not with the Terminator playing the savior of the world by destroying the Devil... but it's the end of day 1.  (Go see End of Days because it's an awesome bad movie, by the way).

Today was a pretty good day, although getting up at 8 and waiting until 1pm to eat was a little difficult.  It wasn't a strain on me by any means, but I'm actually pretty used to some Lucky Charms in the morning.  Yeah I know, it is delicious, isn't it?!

Summary for today:

So I would say overall it was a pretty productive day, with all my meals (save the baked potato) already prepared ahead of time which helps a lot, since I'm not the biggest fan of cooking.  I like to do everything all at once and get it out of the way.

The chicken ziti pasta is absolutely delicious, while the oatmeal and honey wasn't the greatest meal in the world, it was certainly tolerable.  The extra chicken breast helped there.  I should mention too that the chicken is those prepackaged 'italian' styled pieces from Stop & Shop and they're very tasty.  I'm sure I'll eventually get sick of them, however for now this'll do while I figure out more meal options.

For the workout, I didn't exactly do the RPT (Reverse Pyramid Training) and this is mainly due to the fact that I haven't done many Deadlifts before (and I'm on the second floor).  So I was mainly focusing on form and making sure I was putting myself in a position to develop good posture and habit when lifting.  I definitely feel it, though... that's for sure.

Tomorrow is a rest day, although I'll be restarting my couch-to-5k in the morning.  Should help get the day started, while I try to get to work by 9ish.  I have everything prepared for tomorrow, save for the food I'll be eating after work.  Rest days the biggest meals are first, so I wanted to make sure I had no excuse... plus it makes for smooth going when things are already done.

I will say though, I detest doing dishes.  I think that's maybe been my achilles heel in the past where I dread the idea of doing dishes (or don't have any clean ones) to cook with.  Oh well, get over it - right?

Right.

By the way only a few months left until the end of days.  Will the destroyer read this blog and give us a second chance?
