No workout. Just walked Yogi for about an hour.

Can't remember what I ate for breakfast/lunch but I ate a ton of Canadian pulled pork and a spinach salad from Whole foods for dinner. Then, I went to work at 8:00 p.m. and practiced navigating the intracoastal waterway in St. Augustine at night. Fun stuff.

Breakfast: 11:00 a.m.: 3 scrambled eggs with 2 organic spicy Italian sausages with spinach, broccoli, peppers, onions, garlic, butter (lots) sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, and hot sauce.
Foam rolled whole body for approx. half an hour and then worked up a good sweat out side simply by stretching my whole body for about half an hour. Feel pretty good today. Mind is clear, body feels great. Good stuff.
Went to the mall with my wife later in the day and walked around the shops. Then, went to Whole Foods with wife and brother-in-law to buy ingredients for dinner and, as always, over-consumed free cheese on display. Then, back over to the in-laws house for good company and good food... with of course, Yogi.
Dinner 1900 p.m.: Roasted and stuffed red peppers. Peppers were stuffed with ground beef, ground pork, and Parmesan and Seaside cheddar cheeses. Also, a spinach salad and a big ol' Arrogant Bastard hoppy, full-bodied, flavorful ale. Yum.

Make-up Surf Session and Heavy lifting
Tuesday 9/21/10
Early in the morning: two big cups of coffee right off the French Press with heavy whipping cream and honey.
Activity:
Surfed for almost two hours and got worked by big, messy waves.
Workout:
Warm-up with planks, pull-ups, push-ups and jump rope
One-arm dumbbell snatch: warm-up @ 35lbs. x 5 and 50lbs. x 5. Work sets: 65lbs. x 3, 80lbs. x3, 90lbs. x 2.
Explosive push-ups: (start from ground and push and catch on benches) 5x5.
Deadlifts: (single arm/single leg) 1x5 @ 100lbs., 1x5 @ 110lbs.
(regular deadlifts) 1x3 @185lbs., 1x3 @ 225lbs., 1x3 @ 275lbs., 1x2 @ 315lbs., 1x2 @ 330lbs.
Overhead Press: 1x5 @ 35lbs., 1x5 @ 50lbs., 1x4 @ 65lbs.,
(push press)1x3 @ 75lbs., 1x3 @ 80lbs.
Food:
Brunch: 13:30 Leftover chicken and lamb from the previous two nights with a spinach salad and mixed vegetables of broccoli, carrots, celery, and onions.
Dinner: 19:30 Grass-fed hamburgers with cheese, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, pickles, onions, tomatoes, Romaine lettuce, and Thousand Island dressing. Yes, I ate the bun!
Sweet potato fries
Two glasses of red wine; Sterling Vineyard Cabernet.
Lots of ice cream (an unspecified amount).
I felt REALLY good after today's surf session and the heavy weights. I felt even better later in the day. The words I keep using to describe how I feel today (physically) are "punchy, springy, light and supple." I feel like if jump, my head will go through the ceiling or if I sprint I'll just be too fast to slow down. Definitely a very good feeling to have. I hope I sleep just as good. My dinner more than made up for today's activity. My wife has been wanting to do burgers for a while and tonight was a great night to do them.

Rest Days and studying
Sunday 9/19/10
At work today. No walk, no workout. Just swam around in the ocean (rough and choppy) for about 15 minutes.
Breakfast: Big salad made of spinach, broccoli, onions, tomatoes, various peppers, feta cheese, 3 hard boiled eggs, extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Dinner: Handful of mixed nuts, roasted chicken with celery, broccoli, carrots, onions and TONS of extra virgin olive oil and butter and various other seasonings.
Monday 9/20/10
No workout but walked Yogi for an hour and then myself for another hour.
Breakfast: (Last night's dinner) roasted chicken with celery, broccoli, carrots, onions and TONS of extra virgin olive oil and butter and various other seasonings.
Dinner: Gouda cheese with a glass of red wine. Lamb loin chops and a spinach salad with two more glasses or red wine.
Today sucked, for the simple reason that the surf was one of the best days NE Florida has seen and I could not go. I had to study and then go to school. I'm really hoping to make up for it tomorrow. We'll see.

Rest Day
Wednesday 9/15/10
Two big cups of coffee with heavy whipping cream and honey.
Walked for two hours.
Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with rotisserie chicken, spinach, broccoli, onions, garlic, mixed peppers, feta cheese, butter, and extra virgin olive oil. Espresso with heavy whipping cream
Dinner: Oven-baked chicken with carrots, celery, broccoli, onions, and 3 glasses of red wine.
No workout, foam rolling, or stretching today. Just a walk and Microbiology class/lab. The weather is starting to turn nice here in NE Florida. The color of the day is changing and the VERY end of the day is becoming more fall like; a tad cooler with a slight breeze. Another month or so and it'll basically be my favorite time of year.

Low key, Foam Rolling and Stretching
Tuesday 9/14/10
Activity:
0800 - A dip in the ocean.
0900 - 1100 - Walked the dog (and then myself)
1615 - 1645 - Foam roll whole body
1700 - 1730 - Stretch whole body
No workout today (or probably for a few days), as I am only working out every 4-7 days (mimicking paleolithic/primal movement patterns/times, as much as we know) and, I'm utterly sore from Monday's workout. I walked for two hours this morning and then foam rolled for approx. 30 minutes and stretched for 30 minutes later in the evening. Recently there have been a number of "expert" bloggers who are against stretching. I actually gave it up for a while but have recently included it back into my life when I feel that I simply need a good stretch. It keeps me loose and limber and I like the way it feels so until otherwise, I will be incorporating more stretching.
Nutrition:
I tend to eat a lot more on my non-workout days. I attribute this to a couple of things. One, being active, hence, working out, takes up time. I like to do the heavy weights/bodyweight stuff in the morning then, walk a little, stretch a little, etc., and therefore just don't really have the time to eat until much later. Second, working out is known (and I find this to be true for myself as well) to be a natural appetite suppressant so, I normally do not get hungry till much later in the day. With that being said, no workout today = more food today as noted below.
0530 - Two big cups of coffee with heavy whipping cream and coffee.
1200 - Breakfast/lunch: Scrambled eggs with rotisserie chicken, spinach, mixed peppers, onions, garlic, Nicaraguan cheese, and hot sauce. Smoothie made with mixed berries, a banana, coconut milk, almond milk, coconut flakes and, some ice.
1800 - 2000 - Dinner: Snacked on Gouda cheese and red wine before and while making dinner. Haddock fish fried in olive oil. Steamed broccoli with EVOO and various seasonings, BIG sweet potato with lots of butter and cinnamon. Another glass of Robert Mondavi 2005 Napa Cabernet. Yum.

I'm a slacker
...and simply just haven't been posting. Below are some recent workouts that I've been doing. Basically, I've been doing two heavy weight or bodyweight workouts a week with a sprint workout every 7-10 days. I've been very consistent with this kinda/sorta routine for a few months. I've significantly increased the weight in some of my lifts, most notably with the deadlift and snatch. However, on the days that I am doing these workouts I've noticed that "workout time" has gotten a little long for my liking. My last workout was well over an hour and I like to keep things 45 minutes or less. Also to note, my neck has been more stiff than usual and also seems to tighten up even more when I'm surfing; too much shoulder and trap involvement I presume. I'm going to keep the number of days I lift to only two still but, will move back to solely bodyweight stuff again as I find it is more conducive to surfing and general daily activities. Walking, of course, helps with recovery from heavy lifting or marathon surf sessions.
