Day 13

Once again I am out of step with the program. For day thirteen, the goal was to dine out. The program had made the assumption that you were eating in up to this point, so it was presented as a major breakthrough that you were allowed to eat out. I have already eaten out several times during the program, so I didn’t feel any motivation to do so today. Besides, my morning and afternoon were tied up volunteering for the big ride that the bike puts on each year. Plus, I had already made plans to hit the bow flex in the evening.

The one thing that I did wish I had done differently was only one PBJ at night. I was still hungry, but should have grabbed a banana or an apple instead.

Food Log

Breakfast: 10:05am, 5 minutes after waking up
Chocolate Chip Clif Bar, 12 oz. Diet Citrus Drop

Snacking: 11:15am – 3pm
While volunteering with the bike club, I was standing behind a table pull of bananas, baby carrots, chips, pretzels, and cookies. I avoided the chips, but did dip in the cookies. Over the course of my shift, I probably had between 5 and 10 cookies, but I didn’t really keep 100% track. Overall, I tried to stay away from that end of the table and didn’t feel I did too bad of a job.

Lunch: 12:30pm, 1:00 after snack
1 slice turkey breast, 1 slice American Cheese, 1 slice wheat bread, handful baby carrots, half banana

Snack: 2:30pm, 2:00 after lunch
2 slices of turkey breast, 1 slice American Cheese, 1 slice wheat bread, half banana

Dinner: 6:30pm, 4:00 after snack
4 slides of turkey breast and 2 buns, 12 oz. Diet Lemon Lime

Snack: 10:15pm, 3:45 after dinner
2 PBJ sandwiches on wheat bread

Sleep Log

After getting around 14 hours of sleep the day before, I had a little bit of trouble falling asleep last night. Still, I went to bed around 2am and probably actually fell asleep sometime between 3 and 3:30am. I hit the snooze button a couple of times, but still got up a little before 10am to make it out to the bike club food stop.

Exercise Log

Bike: 7:34pm
Time: 21 Mins 22 Secs, Distance: 5.12 Miles, Avg Speed: 14.3 MPH, Max Speed: 26.5 MPH, I rode really hard. I suffered a bit on the hill, but overall the ride felt really good.

Bowflex: 8:45pm
Like the bike, I pushed myself pretty hard. I did bench press, rows, military press, lat pull down, biceps, triceps, abs, and obliques. I completely ran out of gas on the triceps though, and only did one set of abs as I started cramping.
