SUNDAY
Sabbath, restful sabbath. I woke up with a gnarly cheat day hangover. I'm all recovered now and I'm very much ready to head down to Moab for a couple days. That happens on Saturday, so it's just work and training until then. I've been thinking a lot about programming (exercise, not comprooters) and I'm working on mapping out some chunks of time for the gym. As soon as the winds of money blow my way, I'll finally figure out what the big event of the year will be.

CHEAT DAY! I really thought this first cheat day would be epic, and might even include a trip to the emergency room, but honestly, it wasn't much to speak of. Don't get me wrong, I ate some garbage and feel like garbage, but feeling really good all week kept me slightly under control. Really this cheat day looks pretty similar to how I was eating before I decided to take the whole picture into consideration. I paid for it during the workout. Big time. Embarrassing, really.

"Murph"
1 mile run

Nutrition
2,703 calories. 195 grams of fat, 78 grams of carbs and 147 grams of protein. I feel like the new focus on nutrition is working some magic. Today's workout was tough, and typically it would have ruined me for hours, but within 15 minutes or so, I felt ready to go again. I don't feel stronger or faster really, it's just that my recovery seems supercharged. I feel physically better today than I have in a long, long time.

I started a food journal online with Fitday. It's free. My first day's calculations were interesting.
2,346 calories. 138 grams of fat, 136 grams of carbohydrates and 140 grams of protein. My goals are to let the fat numbers fall where they may, keep the carbohydrate number below 100 grams and reach at least 120 grams of protein a day. Not too bad.
