Food
Cereal+banana
Clif bar
Polenta+veg
Noodles from a couple days ago
Multigrain chips
Great lift today. I'm really proud of myself for getting out of bed so I could make this happen. Kind of irrationally proud of myself, it's the kind of discipline that I've had a really hard time getting. A killer ride topped things off.
Weighed in at 194.5#. Two more pounds down!

30/365
Workout
None. First skipped workout of the year. Just didn't pan out - forgot my gym clothes at home this morning, failed on getting out after getting home this evening. Kind of disheartening. My big plan is to get to the gym tomorrow morning early before my 10:30 ride. Wake up at 7, breakfast, at gym by 7:45, quick lift, home by 9, gear up and out the door by 10:15. Then all will be back on track.
Food
cereal+1/2 banana
burrito bowl w/o rice
clif bar
trail mix bar
carrots+hummus
multigrain chips
polenta+kale
I don't think that I'm too off track for having missed today. I have overeaten, but not immensely and I know that I've been holding myself to a high standard (for myself) and I'm riding pretty high after yesterday's workout.

Workout B
5x5 squat - 175#
5x5 press - 90#x1, 75#x4
1x5 deadlift - 165#
3xF pull/chin-up - 6,5,4 (less assistance)
3x30 sec plank - one arm/one leg each side
1 hour riding
Food
cereal+1/2 banana
beans+veg on spinach, apple
clif bar
pretzels
pb sandwich
eggplant, spinach, sweet potato fries
walnuts+chocolate chips
Dropped weight down for the first time since entering into this cycle and I feel good about it. Overhead press is a hard one for me and I'm excited that I got up to 90 without much problem. 75 is something which was hard for me for a long time and today I put it up with not problems. My pullups, I cut the assistance down more than usual to offset the weight cut in the press.
Still making progress.

Food
oatmeal+1/2 banana
beans+quinoa+veggies, apple
clif bar
eggplant+broccoli+noodles
No workout today. I get really restless on rest days, which I guess means that I'm not going hard enough on my workout days. Starting next week, I'll be spending my Tuesday evenings at the dome in Milford, NH doing a couple of hard hours instead of loafing. Here's hoping!

Felt kind of bad lifting today. Didn't eat much during the day, which accounts for it, but doesn't make it easier when I have a hard time putting up 125#.
