Food Totals for the day
10615.thumb.PNG.0b6e99e2f0ca6d3fff9dad6a

To those who don't know this website, MyFitnessPal.com is an amazing tool for those who want to keep track of what they eat. The database it has is very extensive and you can add stuff in. You can also add in recipes you might use a lot so you don't have to keep trying to add everything again. Maybe you eat the same breakfast 4 days a week. Just create that as it's own recipe. 

Today I did well. I am thinking of dumping the bagel in the morning. My main goal is to keep my foot intake from the morning and lunch to about 900-1200. At work food is less likely to be available. So hitting that range helps make sure I don't do something like 1800 by lunch then I am really tight in the evening. 

Workout
Today I destroyed my legs. Just a lot of bodyweight leg stuff in circuit. I should not have done that last set of walking lunges. Right my hip adductors are pissed off at me. My quads are pretty much toast. Moving slowly and relaxing tonight will be nice. I did about 30 minutes of circuit stuff. Going through leg work out to some upper body sets. Mixed in some planks and bosu ball crunches. Throw in the typical stretch routine and call it a day. I would say I was a tad under my 1000 deficit I wanted.

Heh heh, wait until you get into that 24-36 hour range :pound:

Eat your protein, drink water, keep stretching and foam roll if you can. I'd recommend the half kneeling hip flexor stretch, you might already do it but it's a good one.

I recommend the Trigger Point foam rollers. They're awesome. Hollow, last forever, and are extra firm for a good roll/massage/etc.

Done. I love linking my Chase Credit Card Rewards to my Amazon account. I was looking for something to buy with those points.  :)

Yea, I am feeling it now. I've done the layoff from working out before. So I know this discomfort all too well. Today will be a day of stretching and relaxing.

      Thanks. I hope I do but I think I'm going to get stuck at 98 as two of the remainder tracks are notoriously difficult get on.   I have Turnberry, Troon, Skibo Castle, Ardfin and Crail Craighead left. I have a round at Turnberry booked in for later this year. Troon is accessible but the green fee is extortionate (compared to what we are used to) so I may go for that in 2027. Crail Craighead is easy enough through member guest sign on's so won't be an issue.  Skibo Castle is a private, exclusive members club who do not allow guests at all full stop. You have to know a member, who are very rare and secretive (often celebrities, like Harry Styles or other worldwide business types for example, who are supposedly members). So it is basically impossible and I am likely to be stuck with this one. Ardfin whilst bookable for the average joe - is bordering on extortion and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to afford it. You have to stay over at their 'hotel' and you have to book it out for X amount of people for at least two days and it costs upwards of 15-20k. Even if you divide that by say 12 players it's still far too much money unfortunately. With a bit of luck at somepoint in the future they may introduce a day rate, they had one a few years ago for 500 (GBP).  Fingers crossed however. I managed to get on the exclusive Loch Lomond easier than I thought it would be!

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Due to kidney issues I drink a lot of water. Usually about 100+ oz a day. As you all know, water is boring. So on days I am at the gym or playing golf I try adding electrolyte powder to the water. Unfortunately I just buy what I can find at the store. Either Propel or Liquid IV. Both are sugar free and only have 500MG of sodium. Any one else find a decent electrolyte powder they can recommend? Thanks for any assistance.
