Piece Of Cake

     We missed yesterday but I surely was not going to miss squats for the week, so we went today! It wasn't too busy, but there was someone already using the squat rack. It kind of messed up what I was going to do, but I changed course and carried on. Here's what we did:

     I had intentions of dong my normal back squat work but when I saw that the rack was in use, I had to switch things up a bit. I pressed more than I ever have on the leg press so that was a nice surprise. I went back through my notes on front squats and I think my old PR was 135lb. I was using the Olympic plates today, but I'm basically right at that weight now, except I did three singles as opposed to just one rep. I threw in some back squats just because. I probably could have done more and maybe should have. I'm not beating myself up over it though. I"m still proud of my progress. (You know what I'm not proud of though? Every friggin time I type "I'm", I use quotes instead of the damn apostrophe. I"ve had to go back and correct almost every one. I even did at the beginning of this sentence.) 

     Anyhow, moving along...

     My nutrition is really frustrating me though. I'm not eating enough calories or protein on most days, but I'm eating too much fat. Eggs aren't really all that great of a source of protein because of all the fat they carry. I'm sick of chicken and I can't afford steaks. I'm trying to do the right things but this is beginning to overwhelm me. All that leads to is making me want to cave and just go eat a piece of friggin cake. I really want a piece of cake. I'm tired and I'm hangry. But hey, I typed I'm correctly for once. 

     I'm going to go work on some crochet stuff to keep my hands and mind occupied. I'm starting to spin out.
