So, I did good today. I'm trying to eat better, more varied foods. Expand my repitoire a bit. I've always liked food but I've always been boring in my liking food. Only so many different pizzas, burgers and Mexican dishes you can eat before it all begins to blend together. I've laid out a meal plan for this week and while it has some rather significant Mexican (I like Mexican food, so sue me.) tastes to it, it's a little more varied than my usual fare. Fresh chicken, brautwurst, cottage cheese and blue berries were all bought.

That's right, Drew Arrigoni bought fresh fruit and I even used some of them with my cereal this morning. I have called the Four Horsemen. They are on their way.

I also went to the gym today without it being a training day (*gasp!*) and I even pushed myself a little bit. I did ten reps of this full body exercise with 15 lb dumbbells as a warm up. Basically, it's a clean, overhead press and squat pulled into one. I think I'll go up to 20s next time.

I then did chest/triceps a lot. Most of them were pushing 140 lbs, at 4-4-6-8, which is different from what I usually do. John usually has me push a little lower weight at higher reps. Either way, I end up pushing until failure. Then I did triceps extensions at 80 lbs which wasn't bad.

Then I played Musical Interval Training. Spring for the first 45 seconds of a song on your playlist, walk for the remainder of the song. Do thins through 6-7 songs as your workout. Kinda fun although, I have a hard time feeling like I'm sprinting on an elliptical.

I'm also a nerd. I'm gonna be creating a spread sheet to record my training and I even took pre-workout pictures.

Let's see how long that lasts. :P
