Day 17

Missed an update for yesterday.  Wasn't a difficult day, and I intentionally kept my meal calories a little low since I knew snacks were going to creep up.  The big activity yesterday was level testing in Kickboxing.  As your skills improve you undergo testing to demonstrate that you've reached the next level of mastery.  Until yesterday I was a level 0.  The testing was difficult, and involved a lot of skills I don't usually use.  Jumping rope was far and away the toughest, though sit-ups and the speed bag were also difficult.  Running and punches weren't particularly tough.  All in all, I'd gone in expecting the testing to be lighter impact than a normal training session.  I was very wrong, it was tougher.  In the end though, I made it to Level 1.  Officially I'm now an Amateur Kick-boxer.

Food yesterday:  egg and cheese sandwich (300 calories), turkey sandwich (500 calories), snacks included chips and a roll (400 calories), dinner was a cheeseburger on a sourdough roll (800 calories).  Exercise was the level testing (500 calories).

Day 17

Ah the weekend!  Sleeping late, playing video games, and eating junk food.  Well two out of three isn't bad anyway.  No major difficulties today, though I only had a late breakfast and then dinner.  I don't really have any interesting thoughts for the day.

For breakfast/lunch it was toast with peanut butter and a glass of milk (700 calories, though that's probably a high estimate).  Dinner was penne, sauce and garlic toast (900 calories).  All in all, it was a pretty good day.
