I got back from Morocco very late Thursday evening, and slept in Friday. Spent the rest of the day taking care of things. Eating in Morocco was challenging. Everything including Green Salad and Salad Nicoise is full of carby things - potatoes, corn, rice, carrots, beets. I did have one high reading (169) and several more which resulted in having to take a supplemental shot of Regular Insulin. My standard Lantus Insulin was giving me lowish readings in the morning (75-81) so had to raid my back back or buy a cookie from a street vender and eat half of it several times, when we couldnot find a restaurant. But I actually enjoyed the food, it was great, and I could eat bread
, a real treat as they have really good bakers. My high reading was on a traveling day, everything I ordered ended up carby, and I was not walking a lot. But the trip was Great. We stayed mostly in hotels in the Medinas (ancient walled cities with alleys, not streets). Several of them were UNESCO World Heritage Sites. People were friendly, sights were spectacular - I recommend it to all.
So this Saturday night I warmed up at the gym with foam rolling, and my 5 shoulder exercises, and then did two supersets to get back in the swing of things.
Bulgarian Split Squats/Step Ups 85 lb Barbell
3 sets of 5 reps, rest as needed.
Chinups/Pushups (feet on a bench)
3 sets of 4reps chins/8 reps pushups
Cable Pull Standing Abs, at 85 lb
MIIT
3 laps trot and walk
7 sets of Run one/ Walk a half lap
2 laps cool off
Times were faster than I expected, had to go slow on walks to recover breath.
Off to Sauna
weigh in SUPER, 179 pounds, lowest ever in decades. Now I have acheived one of my teenage goals, to weight 180 pounds and be 6 feet tall. (5 inches to go, do suppose the mighty Alwyn can set up a program for this?)
