Oh god i'm so bad at this keeping track thing. But, I can see how useful it can be. For example, all the things I did last week wasn't tracked and now I forgot. Good job Noaton!

Today
Single arm dumbbell curl to shoulder press 45 lb 3 x 5
Single arm dumbbell incline chest press 45 lb 5 x 5
dumbbell side extension 15 lb 5 x 5
Plate bent over row 45 lb 5 x 5
barbell squat 155lb 5 x 5
barbell deadlift 155 4 x 4
dumbbell curl 25 5 x 5
tricep pull down 45 5 x 5

I do know that I do this basic routine about 3 times a week, and this week I added an extra set, rep, and 5 lbs to most of the things. I think.
Also, candy and sweets are the devil. I've been eating a lot of beans and tempeh combined with brown rice and quinoa, but I'm wondering if I should be using some sort of protein powder as well, a shake could help me stop my snacking.

So yesterday, curious, I stopped by Food Fight! and picked up some single serving Vega packets to give it a try. I picked up two protein packets and the pre-workout lemon-lime energizer. I took the pre-workout drink and headed to the gym, and I swear I've never had so much energy. I don't know if it was a combination of it working or my expectations creating an awesome placebo effect or just the fact that it works so well, but I felt like pure super hero.

Single arm dumbbell shoulder press 40 lbs 5 x 5
standing dumbbell curl 30 lb 5 x 5
seated shoulder press 35 8 x 4
seated lateral raise 15 5 x 5
bent over lateral 15 3 x 3
barbell squat 165 4 x 4

I just tried the vanilla protein and i was pleased. It was pretty tasty The pre-workout drink was a little..not as tasty, but still good.
