ChrisComedy's Journal, 23 August 2014

I had a wide-awake episode last night but was able to recover. I was able to get at least six solid hours of sleep plus two in drowse mode while listening to podcasts. I had a late start to the morning. Morning plank. Eight minutes on the Air Walk Trainer first thing out of bed to burn off glycogen. Only 83 today with rain and lower humidity, with several days of lower temps coming up - yes!

Today is a down day (500 calories). This is the second of two down days because Sunday is a cheat day, and that would essentially mean two up days back-to-back, and I'd rather have two down days instead, in the interest of continuing to lose weight. I really want to get rid of my subcutaneous fat.

Today is a leg-strengthening day with ankle weights on the mat and the chair.

I ordered a foam roller which I hope will help me deal with tension in my back as well as tight calf muscles. I keep learning of new tips and techniques on my journey to better health. I hope to finish off the mini-habits book today.

Foam rollers feel really great! I also bought a lacrosse ball -- you can roll around on it on the floor or against the wall. When I was benching really heavy I started to get some issues with my shoulder -- a few days with the lacrosse ball and I was completely healed! If you really want to get into it, check out "Trigger Point Therapy" and you'll see all the places on your body that are prone to get muscle knots (trigger points) and you can work those out with the foam or the ball!
