NIKKI!!!!

Glad you are back!!!

And congratulations on committing to another Iron Man!

welcome back! I've been wondering what happened to you! (from your fellow Madisonian....)

Welcome back!

Love Imagine Dragons . . . seeing them this Sunday at the Hollywood Bowl! Hopefully my unexplained weight loss ends or my fat ass won't fit in my seat. Those suckers are SMALL!!

That song is my jam! They also have a song called Thunder that's great too if you haven't heard it.

Welcome back!

Welcome back!

Good morning!

My weekend was pretty good. Friday night I had leg cramps so bad that I thought my quads and hamstrings were going to detach inside my skin. Standing, laying or sitting in any position did nothing. I could feel them contract, freak out for a while and loosen, then do it again. Imagine someone jamming a hot poker into your legs for a couple of hours, and there ya go. So then the REST of the weekend was OK. Saturday I could still feel the effects of it (truthfully, I can still feel the muscles twinge a bit even this morning as I sip my shake here at work). Saturday the band played a 3.5 hour show at a private party, and it went off without a hitch. It was outdoor, and I was really watching signs of heat stroke, and concerned about mosquito invasions. Since it was on a flatbed trailer on a farm, we had a bit of a breeze. No mosquitos, just a bunch of flying ants (I may have breathed one or two in while drumming.....for protein, I told myself) and some fish flies. Avoided those. LOL

Right now I'm listening to a band called "Katy Guillen and the Girls" and they're pretty awesome. I listen to pretty well everything, so my road trip playlist can make the average person wonder if my phone is drunk.

Menu: B: 2 meat sticks (actually too fresh for my liking, so I'll leave the bag open for a day or two to dry them out a bit more) plus my protein shake.

MS: 1/4 cup cottage cheese mixed with 1/4 cup feta/cucumber/cherry tomato salad

L: 1 cup Beef/cabbage - veggie soup. Heavy on the lean ground beef, so there's lots of protein for the carbs found in the veggies. My wife made it again. That stuff is like crack.

AS: Same as MS

S: probably the soup again. I've got 3 drum lessons to teach tonight so supper will be quick.

I was BRUTAL for vitamins on the weekend. It kept slipping my mind!!! Oh I'd remember and take them all eventually, but for whatever reason I just blanked. Back to work and back on routine though. Water wasn't a problem, never is.

Exercise: I biked in to work this morning, will bike home. Planning on throwing in the earbuds and walking in the cooler evening.

Your soup sounds really good!

And also hope your legs are feeling better! That sounds terrible.
