DAY 24 - 40/30/30/Rest

WEIGHT = ???.? (No weigh in today...they didn't have a scale at the golf course! (~: )

WORKOUT

This is a scheduled day of rest away from the weights...which is good! My arms are pretty well shot from top to bottom and front to back! My shoulders and legs were surprisingly not heard from today, however. I must not have worked them hard enough!

Being out in the heat for a golf outing today was a good thing, I think. It kept my muscles loose, that's for sure!

DIET

We had a golf outing this afternoon so my nutrition wasn't the greatest. In fact, it was pretty awful. Thankfully this is a mass-building program so the extra calories are welcome...particularly when we're talking protein!

Breakfast: Protein shake with creatine right out of bed. Spelt (substituted for oats) pancakes with coconut oil, cocoa powder, and honey. I'll repeat ...mmmm... chocolate pancakes!

Snack (a.m.): 1 cup of yogurt with 4 tsp ground flax seed.

Lunch: From the menu at the club house, I chose a California wrap. This was grilled chicken with lettuce greens, cucumber, celery, and avocado on a tortilla wrap. I got the cottage cheese as a side and used that as a spread on the wrap instead of the ranch dressing. I left half of the wrap behind...the wrap itself that is, not the stuffing! For dessert, I brought that leftover chocolate cake from the Greek restaurant. Like I said, my nutrition was not the best today!

Snack (p.m.): I chose to skip this snack today due to the anticipated calorie intake at dinner.

Dinner: Steak! The outing we played in provided a damn fine dinner for us after a good day of golf. It started with a pretty standard salad of lettuce greens, red onion, black olives, parmesan cheese (if I had to guess), and Italian dressing. Then came the steaks! Bone-in ribeye, baby! On the side were some sauteed veggies (carrots, onions, and peppers) and seasoned mashed potatoes. I managed to skip the roll but helped Robin out with his veggies. Dessert was a chocolate brownie with walnuts which was actually very good. Just to reiterate...not the best nutrition day.

Snack: I was totally craving sweets and found myself finishing off the last of a batch of peach ice cream the wife and I had made a few weeks ago. Hey, at least I threw some ground flax seed on there! :~) Oh, and I had my glutamine supplement just before bed.

All-in-all, it wasn't the best day in the diet department. Hopefully the golfing burned some calories and the scale won't be too harsh tomorrow. DAY 25 is a big workout day so that should help!
