Back to work...

Went to bed early last night, but had trouble falling asleep...feeling some uncomfortable emotions. Nonetheless, I felt rested when I got up at 6:17 a.m.

Morning training - Strength work at the gym - all exercises no more than 5 reps to failure. By the end, some of them were only 2 or 3 reps to failure!

Alternated 2 sets assisted pull-ups (assistance set so that I could only do negatives, not full pull-ups) with 2 sets assisted dips, then 2 sets assisted chin-ups (negatives) with 2 sets assisted dips.

Then giant sets with a set of 15 pound weights - alternated flat bench flys with shoulder presses with biceps curls. 4 times.

Then some sit-ups on the sit up bench. First set 7 reps. Subsequent sets much fewer. Did 3 sets total.

Breakfast - 4 navel oranges (about 30 oz.), blended into a smoothie
Midmorning at work - 8 ripe fuyu persimmons
Lunch - 8 ripe fuyu persimmons
Afternoon - 10 oz. blackberries
Dinner - 5 large tomatoes, 3 heads baby bok choy, 1 avocado
After dinner, craved sweets. Ate some mandarins.

Gotta listen to my body and eat fruit BEFORE dinner.

Also, late at night I ate more navel oranges, LOTS of brazil nuts (in the shell, but still ate about 3/4 pound worth - the krakanut makes it too easy!), and 3 oz. sundried tomatoes. I was not hungry for these things at all, but I ate them to "deal with" uncomfortable emotions that had been weighing on me all day. I'm a bit annoyed with myself, because I know from experience that this may screw up my digestion/elimination for days.

Went to bed really late (after midnight)...
