Crewed in….day one of six.

Posted: November 8, 2013 in Uncategorized

Yesterday was my “rest” day.  No workout.  It wasn’t a bad day.  Slept in a bit, from the hockey game the night before. The Panthers lost in overtime.  It was a pretty decent game, if you weren’t looking for top tier NHL performances.   The BB&T Arena was about 33% full.  I ate well, tailgated, and didn’t drink any beers.

Saw Ender’s Game yesterday.  I felt it to be disappointing. Then again, I read the book.  I understand there has to be some license in going from book to screenplay, but there was an entire storyline that was left out, and the whole time in Battle school was narrowed way way down.  Acting was about as good as you can expect from teens.  The kid who played Bonzo stole every scene he was in.

Today, I crewed back in at work.  Mostly paperwork and catching up on some medical training.  No flights for me today.  There were 3 flights after 1pm, but I was in the 2nd out aircraft by that point.  Boredom eating has always been a problem at work.  I did not munch out at all.  I was also able to keep to my feeding window as well.  No nutritive foods unless it is between noon and 8pm.  Water and black coffee in the am, Bacon, eggs, and brussels sprouts at 12:30; 3:30-ish I had salad with skinless chicken drumstick I grilled up on the Egg yesterday.  Oil n vinegar dressing.

Todays kettlebell workout mirrored the past two sessions.  Strength portion was with single arm movements and a 20 kil0 bell. It was easier.  The shoulder is staying packed during all of the TGU’s.  I did the BeastMother as a finishing movement.  Only did one “ladder” up and down.  Used the 14kilo bell. It took 12:40, but wow, what a punch.  Ended with a nice 30 minute walk on the ramp from the hangar to the taxiway.

All in all a good day.
