Life: Tonight starts my first of two graveyard shifts, joy. There's a reason I accepted the day staff position, and avoiding mids was the single biggest factor! But the normal guy is attending a pair of funerals, so I'm sure he'd rather trade places with me. I'll just have to try to rein in my snacking...staying up late makes me hungry, and my diet falls to pieces during mid shifts.

Yesterday:
Weights: Upper Hypertrophy
Incline Bench Press 4x12
Incline DB Fly 3x12
BB Row 4x10
Pulldown 3x10
Machine Lateral Raise 4x12
DB Curl <superset> Lying DB Extend 3x10
Perloff Press 3x15sec
Analysis: After a graveyard shift, I went to the gym to try to force my body back into the "awake in the day, asleep at night" routine. Turned out to be the opposite of Monday's workout; then I got bonus sleep and felt like an animal during the workout; this time I was short sleep, and my workout felt like a total grind. About halfway through I hit the proverbial wall and had to force myself to continue. Fortunately, all the heavy weights poised above me were already done for the day by that time.
Food: Dinner - chili
Tonight's Food: Dinner - beef empanada's

Life: Yesterday was my birthday, but because it fell on a Sunday I didn't go to the gym for my annual 1RM of the Key 3. Extrapolating from my current lifts using a 1RM calculator, theoretically I would still break the 1,000 mark at BW 190.1 -

Food: Lunch - crock pot honey chicken with rice, Dinner - ground hamburger with rice
Life: Due to budgetary constraints, no donuts today following my cardio. Without them, I'm going to be well under calorie budget for the day. After years of trying to always be below a certain threshold, it's odd now being faced with being under and NOT wanting to be.0 -

Heading cross country early next week for the next 10 days to see my son graduate from Army boot camp as a soldier, something he's dreamt of for years. Likely no workouts for me during that time, lots of eating out, will have to watch my food selections. May or may not post throughout, depends on Wi-Fi signal (and since my laptop will be staying here, and I almost never post using my phone, there's that).0
