Day 2...

I am not sure how I am going to go about keeping logs of the exercise and eating habits. Perhaps in a more checkbox or catalogged fashion, but for now I will just list things out in the blog.
Woke up this morning feeling stuffed up a bit, the hangover hung around for 1 more morning I suppose.

Decided to heat up the bathroom and shower in a sauna type atmosphere, there is something about the steam that just seems to flush the negative out and make you feel better, music is also important, i always listen to the radio in the morning while showering, im pretty sure i sing out loud quite a bit, not sure what the roommates think of it, but its a great way to start the morning,

BREAKFAST:for breakfast i started out going back to my homemade breakfast smoothie routine, ive slacked off of this pretty bad in the last 4 months.

ingredients include
Whole Milk (local farm fresh milk from Kroger they even take the glass bottle desposits back and give you $2)

V8 Fusion (fruit and veggied medley, i would do better to use fresh veggies and fruits but time wise its hard to store and juice the number of fruits and veggies that they have pre packaged, i make look to see if there are better natural options, but this is a step in the right direction)

100% Whey Protien (i add a healthy overflowing scoop of this, i was told by a personal trainer once to make sure i use pure why protien, as males should not over utilize soy or risk getting to much estrogen)Orange Juice (minute made 100% juice, it was what was in the fridge)

Pomegranate Juice (the brain function deep purple bottle, again it was in the fridge)

Honey (100% natural bees honey from Kroger, nothing over fancy in a bottle that looks like a bear)
Frozen Mixed Berries (its a mixed berry frozen bag, serves as the ice for my smoothie without watering down the flavor)

I am going to follow this with a bottle of Snapple Green Tea to start my morning.
I also have a 74.4 oz water bottle at my desk, i plan on filling this and making sure i have drank it all by the end of the day (if not more) keeping water flowing through the body should help to flush quickly

im using a few herbal supplements to aid in the process as well;
Fenugreek and Thyme was recommended by some hippie lady who was talking about energy fields, it is supposed to help keep the sinus cavities mucus thinned, seems to work really well
Probiotic and Prebiotics A Daily Regiment of to get balance back to the digestive system that has been damaged by years of antibiotics to thwart sinus infections
Zinc
Vitamin C
Fish Oil

Midday Exercise:
When you day job constitutes sitting at a desk and rotting your body away, mid day exercise can be very important to promoting some balance of health.
11am i had scheduled physical therapy for my shoulder recovering from an old motorcycle crash i never really built my body back up for. It has been going great and my mobility and strength have greatly improved over the last month.
Exercie there consists of:
series of band pulling motion to concentrate on the back muslces that support the shoulder,
light weight exercies focusing on those same muscles
reverse bicylce machine for arms.

I followed this with 30 minutes in the gym
15 minutes on the eliptical set to cascade
then i jumped back and fourth between 6 machines for low rows, shoulder pressed, leg extensions, chest press, bicep curl, tricep dips, and ab crunches
these were all done on machines with a lot less weight than i previously used, but its been a while since ive worked out hard at all, especially since ive re aggrevated the shoulder issues that i am now working to reverse damage on

i followed this with another set of low rows from a different machine and deltoid extensions,
this was all done in a quick move back and fourth circuit style with no rest in between to optimize the limited time at the gym

Lunch:
for lunch i had a Deli Sandwhich from Hank's Deli known as a Blue Ridge
Roast Beef, turkey, cheddar, provolone, brown mustard, mayo, lettuce, tomato, on berry wheat bread,

though this wasnt the top healthy choice, it didnt veer far from, you need the essential fats after a hard workout, and the whole grain wheat bread is much better than the processed crap you will get most places

Afternoon Snacking
Almost finished my 72 ounces of water,ive also been snacking on a bag of Natural Nut Harvest Nut and Fruit Mix, it consists of Raisins, Peanuts, Sunflower Seed Kernels, Almonds, Walnuts, Cashews, Dried Cranberries, Pressed Sunflower Seed Oil, and Sea Salt

Dinner
On the way home I stopped at SAMs club and loaded myself up on fruits and veggies. I ate a grilled chicken wrap. Mozzarella fire roasted tomato sauce, olives, mixed peppers, onions, herbed mushrooms, and bacon ( I can't be completely good),

I'm snacking on grapes now, and going to cook some venison steaks with cayenne and mixed sweet peppers here directly, will snack on one before bed and take the other for lunch tomorrow over a bed on whole grain rice.
