Had a very good workout today. It included some squats which I started off pretty light for today but I will move the weight up a fair bit next time. Just had to get used to squatting again and make sure my form was good. I'm definitely a lot weaker at the squat then I was before the surgery but I know that even after a few weeks I'll be putting up fairly good numbers for me. Also did some Glute ham raises. My gym doesn't have a glute ham bench so I had to macgyver one up by hooking my feet under the foot pads of a bench and put my knees on a dome side up bosu. It worked fairly well, I just used pushing myself up off the floor for assistance when needed to get to different rep ranges. As for food:
7:30am Muesli with soy milk, coconut water
10:30pm Protein shake, apple, vitamins (multi,b,c, fish oil)
12:30pm Spicy Genoa Ham, egg, red pepper, onion, spinach, tomato on whole wheat
2:15pm Pecans, cashews, peanuts, raisins, dates
4:30pm Steak, baked potato, asparagus, mushrooms, broccoli
7:15pm Brown rice, spinach, sundried tomato, chickpeas, mushrooms, red pepper, walnuts, balsamic vinegar on whole wheat wrap
11pm Smoothie - Mixed berries, 2 bananas, soy milk, soy protein, flax meal, spinach; fish oil capsule
Ate a fair bit again today; made myself a nice steak dinner. Unfortunately I don't have a bbq here at school so I had to pan fry it but it was still pretty good. Also tried coconut water for the first time today; I've heard/read some good things about it's hydration abilities; to be honest I didn't really notice anything but I may try it again during rugby season after a game to see if it helps then. I like experimenting with things like this, only way to find out what works right. That's all for today, just looking forward to tomorrow and the muscle soreness that it brings.
