Day 19

Finances
I didn't spend any money today....remarkable for a Friday.

$26.32 spent so far this week with two days to go. I have a signing all day tomorrow and then I was planning on hitting the movies. Sunday I have work to do and then the DCC get-together. I think I can coast to my $100 budget I set for myself.

Food

Once again, I'm been on track with my weekly goal. I can't eat a crappy meal tomorrow or Sunday but that doesn't rule out a beer or two since I've been keeping the alcohol consumption down to a minimum. Maybe some wine with the Sox game tomorrow night and a couple of pints at Dremo's on Sunday.

1 - Two Van's multi-grain, berry-boost waffles, some butter light syrup, two pieces of turkey bacon, and a cup of skim milk
2 - Sandwich: Multi-grain bread, lean ham, provolone, and light mayo
3 - Mixed nuts and dried cranberries
4 - Banana
5 - Two chicken cutlets, breading, one egg (for dredging), extra-virgin olive oil (for cooking), 1/2 cup pasta, and marinara sauce

I took a trip to Italy in March and learned about the differences between extra-virgin, virgin, and regular 'old olive oil. I'll never buy regular 'ole olive oil again. I lightly breaded the cutlets with freshly-made breadcrumbs.

6 - One slice of multi-grain bread, one tablespoon of peanut butter, and a cup of skim milk

Workout

One workout away from my goal for this week.

1 - Warm-up: Speed Pyramid

I guess that's what I'll call it. Start at 5mph, go up to 8mph and back down, spending two-minutes at each speed. Gets the heart going nice.

2 - Superset: Bench presses (3 sets of 8 with 95 lbs) and yoga-ball crunches (3 sets of 50)
I've been avoiding stomach exercises due to the recent hernia operation. Today didn't feel too bad, though, so I may start bringing them back in slowly.
3 - Superset: Tricep extensions (3 sets of 10 with 70 lbs for each arm) and barbell rows (3 sets of 10 with 50 lbs)
