Thursday, July 8th

Today was a fairly productive work day, comparatively, which was needed.  I didn’t make it to the gym, but I walked a lot.  It’s a pretty long walk to and from work, even with public transit.  And this was definitely the best part of my walk:



The Swedes are usually very good at English, but something about that window seems a bit off!

I also went on an hour and 45 minute brisk walk with my academic advisor, who’s also my roommate.  (It’s actually working out incredibly well.)  Stockholm is really quite breathtaking, especially in the evening, because the sun sets very slowly and casts all these wonderful rays of light on the water.  This is probably the most beautiful picture I’ve taken here so far:



But enough about Stockholm...here’s what happened today:


Workout Journal:
  • A lot of walking (see above).  My hamstrings are slightly sore from deadlifting and so is my back from the chin-ups.  But the soreness is definitely not too bad.


Food Journal:

  • Breakfast: Coffee with cream and a banana.
  • Lunch: Salad with tiny shrimps.  Apple for dessert.  Sparkling water to drink.
  • Snack: Another apple. (There’s all this free fruit at the office -- it’s amazing!)
  • Dinner: Same thing as yesterday: the other rotisserie chicken leg & and my cauliflower wonderfulness.  It was pretty good, even though it was nuked.
  • Dessert: I kept it to 1 glass of red wine tonight
Also, I'm waiting with bated breath to hear where LeBron's going.  I'm afraid he's going to say Miami, but I'm praying he stays in Cleveland...

  1. a couple of hard-boiled eggs would elevate the quality of your breakfast . . . if you're working out a lot, you need adequate protein . . .
