This afternoon I did my second workout, bench and leg presses. Benches went well, 10 reps x 25kgs, but had trouble finding a leg press machine that was a good fit for me and wound up having a very ordinary couple of sets instead of working to failure as per the regime. Feels like I've had a moderate workout but I guess that's something. Weight has increased by 800grams in 4 days and I can't believe that's all muscle from Friday's workout. Must stop eating things that aren't part of the diet programme (like the extra roast potatoes and pumpkin at dinner last night and the bread, cheese, wine and chocolates at a theatre opening night on Saturday, about which, more below).
Yesterday was a busy day: went into the country with some friends who want to buy a B&B. spent all day with the owners of two that are for sale not too far from Brisbane, looking things over and asking questions. Unfortunately they were both underperforming financially and not quite what my friends want in terms of presentation, amenities and so on but by the time we looked at both, and then discussed the pros and cons, I didn't get home till nearly 11pm. And missed my last meal of a 5 egg omelette as I was too tired, but I hope to make up for it today.
On Saturday night I went to the opening of a play at a local community theatre company that I know quite well. Their productions are usually staged well, with great costuming, set and lighting design, but the acting tends to be inconsistent although competent. Usually a few outstanding actors and a lot of supporting players who are trying hard but not quite getting there, but the strength of the leads and the good choices of plays makes for an enjoyable night despite some obvious weaknesses. They lived up to expectations this time. Wonderfully melodramatic performances from the actors portraying the evil king and queen, one of the minor leads was a young man who will go far, and the rest were adequate but capable of so much more!
