Slightly better day on both the training and diet front...met a buddy for breakfast at the American Club where I ordered the Eggs Benedict. Ate only 1.5 of the two eggs, ordered a grape-fruit juice and threw out the fried potatoes that came with the dish. Two cups of coffee, light milk.
Headed up to the gym by about 11:30 where worked on my exercises. Got a good stretch going during the leg-lunges....realized it's quite good for ones balance as well. Push-ups felt good, easier than the other days as well as the sit-ups.
Thinking the light-breeze outside would help, decided to go for a jog around the palace from the gym in Akasaka. Despite the breeze, turned out to be still a warm day and quite humid (tail end of rainy season here in Japan). Total jog about 8k, but really started feeling it - esp. in my right calf...possibly b/c of the leg lunges, around halfway through. Sweat pouring down my face, nearly laughed when then the guy on my I-phone audiobook about the Navy Seals started saying, "The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in battle." Right....
Lunch - one plain yogurt and one plum.
Dinner- mish-mash of steamed broccoli, 2/3 a bowel of genmai rice, miso-soup, fried zucchini, chicken, small piece of salamon. Desert - two biscuits.
