Good morning, my friends!
It's a GORGEOUS day in Denmark. The sun is shining, and spring is attacking us from every side! I like it!
It's been a couple of BUSY days for me, and today is no exception. Just to recap:
Monday: Up at 4AM, Walk, Workout, Work, Teaching, Work, Bed around 9PM
Tuesday: Up at 4AM, Walk, Work, Bed around 9PM
Wednesday: Up at 4AM, Walk, Workout, Work, Pack music gear, Jam Session, Pack music gear, travel home, bed around midnight.
Thursday: Up at 4AM, Walk, extra long workday, 2nd job at gym, bed around 11PM
Today: Up at 4AM, Walk, Work a few hours, Go to Copenhagen, buy Bass guitar, concert. Estimated arrival home: 2.30AM
Tomorrow: Up at 6 or 7. Maybe a workout. Work at the gym until 3PM. Then crash. :)
It's been a hell of a week, but I have had SO much fun, and it's all worth it.
I did have to skip gym today. I tried. I was there for my monthly weigh-in with the SUPER smart scale, but attempting the circuit training, I could tell that my body kindly asked me to skip.
I will be back tomorrow or Sunday. No biggie. I just need a little rest.
"So, how were the numbers from the gym, Keld?".
The numbers were great, actually!
I still have an impressive metabolic age of 28.
I have gained a kilo of muscle the last month.
I have lost 2½ kilos the last month.
All in all a good weigh-in.
What is interesting is that even if I have been low in my calories consistently the last month, I still gained muscle mass. I like that.
It's worth noticing that going TOO low doesn't give the same benefit. I worked out even harder when I did my three weeks of 600 calories, and I lost a lot of fat, but also two kilos of muslce at that time. I don't recommend it.
It does tell me that maybe it's not that bad a thing I am doing right now. I love being at and around the weight I am, just about 80, and I see muscles growing. At the same time I have "eating consciously" down to a science that I don't even think about, and it's all good. I can't think of anything to complain about, really.
Then again, why would I? The sun is shining, and it's gonna be a fun day.
...
Work today is easy. A walk in the park.
Schedule for the day is pretty much like this:
At work:
- writing my journal(!) Obviously, I am doing this now at 8:30AM.
- Breakfast with my group at 9:30
- Leave at 10:30.
- Meet with my eye-guy at 10:45 to try out contacts. My glasses are slowly breaking after 5 years of daily use. I figured I'd try something else.
- Off to Copenhagen.
- Shoppoing.
- Meet with Nephew.
- Go meet a guy and buy his used bass guitar(!)
- Off to store said bass in a locker for the rest of the day.
- Dinner. Indian buffet!
- Hopefully AWESOME concert.
- Home.
- Sleep.
I have quite som things to do. :)
It's gonna be a fun day though, I am really looking forward to it.
Since we're gonna be out, dining, with my nephew, and going to the concert, Wife and I have decided that today is Indulgence Day instead of tomorrow. It's gonna be easier to tackle a day like today if there is no real limitations to the food. I doubt that I will go very high, though, as my breakfast is only 300 calories, and I don't have much planned for lunch either. Maybe just a pita or something. It all depends what I feel like.
...
Today, I'm thankful for:
- All the things I gotta do. I'm having FUN!
- Morning coffee and late breakfast. I couldn't eat, drink or workout three hours prior to my weigh-in, so I was happy to have my smoothie at work. :)
- Wife!
- Spring time!
Happy Friday and have a great weekend! Life is good!
