Wednesday, September 12, 2012

     My alarm clock woke me up promptly at 7:30, and I felt just fine.  It's been nice to sleep at night without having to use the air conditioner.  

     I made my breakfast out of mixed cereals, almonds, pumpkin seeds, dried fruits, milk and coffee.  Oh wait!  I added a small blob of peanut butter that I spread on one slice of multi-grain bread.  Great!

Weight before breakfast was 71.1.
Weight after breadfast was 72.3.
Weight after gym was 72.4 (I guess it was the water I drank.)
Weight after lunch was 72.8

     Rule of thumb about me during gym time:  Right after I've completed a heavy set (squats, bench press, whatever), my heart is beating fast, I'm huffing and puffing, I'm not in the mood for conversation whether it is funny or serious.  Give me a few minutes to recover.  After that, everything will be cool!

     Another rule of thumb:  Don't, don't, DON'T interrupt me in the middle of a set.  Don't speak to me!  Don't offer to help me (unless it is very obvious that I need help lifting the weight.  In such a case,

      Please, please, please (unless it's an emergency), do NOT interrupt me while I've got this loaded barbell in my hands and up in the air.  Don't talk to me.  Don't bother me.  I don't mean to be rude.  I just don't want my concentration to be broken.  Thank you!






      I don't know the weight of each plate on the machines.  So, I write down the setting number, and go with it.
