My truck has been in the shop getting a new (rebuilt) engine and it was ready for pick-up today, so I left work at 2 to go get it, then off to get a tail light and head light for it, then home again to put them in. The taillight cover was almost impossible to get off... I seriously thought about knocking it out, replacing the bulb, then taping it with red tape. Finally I got it. Took it to get it inspected and by the time I got back home it was closing in on 6 and I was STARVING!

My numbers for fitday above stop at the 3rd meal because that's all I can log. Dinner was homemade pizza w/ gluten free crust (I tossed the box and dont have the numbers to log) topped w/ pepperoni, cheese, mushrooms, artichokes, peppers and onion, and of course extra mozz to hold all those toppings down! YUMMY! My daughter has IBS/digestion issues and since we decided to cut the gluten from her diet she's been doing much better. This was our first time to have pizza and I dunno why but the same stuff on top of a normal crust and I could eat half the pizza... this one is much more filling. I only ate two pieces and the other two will go with me to work for lunch tomorrow. I REFUSE TO GIVE UP MY PIZZA ONCE A WEEK! But... I will not toss the box next time so that I can log it and see what the numbers work out to be.

Tomorrow is my birthday, I'll be 38... work is having a happy hour for me after work. I'll have red wine. Thursday our IT guy is having a catered lunch for us... I'll try to be reasonable with that too. I'll call this my "break in" week. LOL!

So... after all that I headed out to the garage to practice my lifts. I just started an OLY training class last saturday and I'm really not doing anything yet but portions of the moves. He wanted me to work on all the little different sections this week and maybe I'll be better at them next week.

1. I think I got the deadlift part from the floor up down pat.
2. The hang snatch is so-so... he didnt want me to squat down under the bar, just snatch it up. My shoulders/upper body are not strong and it's a bit of a slow controlled movement for me, I think I can see it being a little easier with the squat tossed in. I'm sure this move is why I was soooooooooo sore the past couple of days.
3. The front squat is good... damn good.
4. The overhead squat... meh. I'm off balance, not got the bar up and locked in place, too far forward... to unsure of the squat in that position. I found it easier to do moving directly into it from the front squat. Just press the bar overhead and go back down. Not sure why. Once I get the first one, I can keep going.
5. Push press is good.

I go back on Saturday. Need to get one more session on my own in before then... maybe thursday night, I'll have lunch to burn off! LOL

Cardio tomorrow a.m.
