Dinner -- Cream of Mushroom Soup, Water

Workout -- 1 Hr Treadmill and Cooldown (1226 Calories, 4.57 miles)


-----------------

On Shift second day of my 48 hr shift. I've been looking over my log and feeling very un-inventive. Especially after reading through some of the pages of other participants. I may have to continue to be un-inventive but steal some of their ideas...

Second night that I got my workout done early... not as early, but being done by 12:30am is GREAT.

Lunch -- 33oz Tropicana Blend Raspberry and Acai Berry Juice

Dinner -- Tomato Soup, Carrot & Orange Juice blended with Banana and Ice

Desert -- None

Workout -- 2 hours of Racquetball

Good day, got off shift and had my morning shake. Home for a little and then went to the Condo Pool to hang out. Took lunch with me... :o) Naturally my buddy Scott and Tim Cox were grillin out... grrrrr ... but I survived. Hung out there for a while and saw some good friends. Got ready to leave and go to the gym to swim but Gila talked me out of it and into going a playing racquetball instead.

Racquetball was fun. Gila worked me pretty good but I took her 4 games... although the score was in my favor, she pretty much kicked my butt. Played 2 games of doubles after that but not as good workout.

Dinner was good, hung out and watched a movie. Prepped drinks for my shift at Station 11 tomorrow.

Good day...

Breakfast…. Strawberrys & Cream Slim Fast shake

Lunch… 20 oz mixed berry smoothie with protein powder

Dinner… Cran,Rasberry,grapefruit juice, & Bush’s Grilled Beans (Blended)**.

Desert – Plain Yogurt, low fat milk, and 1 3" x 3" piece of cheese cake all blended together …. 20 oz of blended goodness.

Workout – Treadmill 1 hr + cool down (1216 calories, 4.57 miles)

( 1+ gallons of water)

First shift with the new crew, they wanted to go out for breakfast so I sat and watched them all eat Huevos Rancheros… ugh… I had a Diet Coke and a water….

Then, since it’s 4th of July… we had a BBQ at the station and family and friends came over…

Ok… so we had to try something bizarre today. The Grilled Baked beans smelled too good to not do something about. Mark came by (also on the program) and we decided that we were just going to have to try the beans. So … we threw them in the blender and heated them up and had basically “bean soup”. It wasn’t bad, quite filling, but probably only in the program to the extent that it was liquid enough to go through a straw…. But … that counts right? Ha ha…

Other than that, today has been pretty good. Not overly hungry. It seems to be getting easier…

Breakfast -- Slim Fast -- Strawberries and Cream

Lunch -- Tomato Soup and Gatorade

Workout -- Swam 2300 yards (3 x 500 yards in under 10 min each + 800 yards of other stuff)

Dinner -- NAKED juice "Protein Zone"

Haven't drank enough water today thats for sure (other than pool water). I'll try to fix that before I crash...

Also started adding a Multi Vitamin to make sure I'm getting what I need.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So this morning was pretty tough, actually... all night was tough because we were up pretty much all night, ugh... Once I got home though it got easier because I fell asleep.... got up and met Monika at SAMs Club and bought a ton more Juice and some veggies... I've discovered that I'm a pretty lazy juicer... I can blend like crazy... but Juicing itself takes a lot of effort... I'll get it down though. I got some carrots, celery, and some spinich to try to juice so we'll see how that goes.

Work out tonight was GREAT. Swam 3 timed 500 yard swims, all were under 10 minutes. I can pass my Headlifeguard test again... ha ha.. the rest was tool work (kickboard, paddles, bouy, and warm up and cool down.) 2300yards total (1 mile = 1760yards so I did 1.30 miles).

Tomorrow is going to be a little bit of a drag. First day with the new crew and we are having a BBQ for 4th of July..... maybe I'll have Spicy V8 instead.... ha ha...


Till tomorrow...
