Got in my walk yesterday, including a couple of jogging portions when I was out of view of the office buildings, but I felt some twinges in my left knee that made me rethink my plan to do two straight days of TT weights, particularly since my next workout started off with DB step ups. I took a partial rest day instead after work (had to stay late, too, which definitely killed a lot of evening workout motivation for me), and did TTfW B Phase 4 this morning instead. I’ll be heading out on my walk again in a few minutes and possibly doing some core work at my desk since the office has vacated to go on their regular Friday buffet run.

Tonight I’ve got a sushi and karaoke night planned with about 12 other people where I plan to premier a new song (for me): Rosemary Clooney’s Mambo Italiano. I’ve been belting this in my car for the past week to practice. I’ve also turned down the Chinese buffet with the guys from work (with some regret since Lucas Arts dumped a load of swag on us yesterday and almost everyone is wearing a new black Star Wars T-shirt to work as a result) in order to save up some room and calories for the huge pile of sushi I plan to inhale at 7 pm.

Good thing I am not taking pics until Sunday. I’ll need a full 24 hours to debloat from all the rice, which means much cardio, gardening, water, and strict diet adherence all day tomorrow. I will even give Cassandra Forsythe’s modified Velocity Diet a try for one day since I won’t have to worry about passing out at my desk from lack of solids and carbs.

Speaking of food, the rock shrimp quesadilla I had for lunch from the mega Quick Time Meals stash was aces, by the way. I will definitely be making healthier versions of this entree with WW tortillas, low fat cheese, and extra veggies on my own in the future!
