Three days in a row

Three days in a row, impressive no?  No, right. 

Went to the gym last night, 45 mins endurance training on the bike.  I'm guessing 400kcals but as the bike stopped registering kcal burn for 20 mins I'm not sure.  DW, fix your equipment!

Eating wasn't bad.  Yogurt and honey, cherry juice, grapefruit, protein shake for breakfast.  Tuna sandwich for lunch.  Apple and banana in the afternoon.  Slice of bread with peanut butter pre-workout, protein shake after.  Dinner was a spag bol (home made, of course.  Heavy on carrots and mushrooms) with a glass of pomegranate juice.

Calorie wise it'll only be a small deficit, but as I'm also looking to improve all round strength slowly it's the trade off.  With the heightened metabolism to handle the rebuilding of muscle as well as the burn while working out, it should keep it on the right side of intake to keep a slow drop in weight.

As I'm having two protein shakes per workout day, one per none workout day if I'm still aching, I'll go to water as the base for the whey.  It's not nearly as tasty as with milk and it also cuts the nutrient content, but as I am looking to cut the weight, it's something I can do for now.  When (if..) the weight approaches my target region I'll swap back in with the milk.

No gym this morning but I'll try go this evening.

The new trainers, Merrel Barefoot Trail Gloves, are feeling great when on foot but they don't have a thick enough base to make standing on the pedals of the spin bike comfortable.  I might mix it up a bit and hit the treadmill again to see what they're like there.  I did intend to do that last night, but my pecs hurt like buggery when they bounce due to the dips earlier this week.  I know it's sad, but I'll get better if I can keep up this level of attendance.
