<p>Great dinner and excellent workout, iDad.</p>
<p>That’s a big kb for those exercise, idad.</p>
<p>Rest Day for me. Def feeling those deadlifts yesterday.</p>
<p>The KB is pretty light for the suitcase deadlift to ease into each set. The front squat with an offset load is OK. The cleans are tough, but I’m starting to get the hang of them. The push presses at the end are just brutal. I’ve learned that I can generate more assist from a hip hinge than a partial squat, so that helps.</p>
BC…hoping you are not on vacation! Need your recommendation on tennis racquets! I really need to get back in the game! Thanks.
<p>My friend posted this on Facebook this afternoon…</p>

<p>Beast. Had to be a sumo deadlift!</p>
<p>8 miles… after 11 hours of work. Phew…</p>
<p>8 miles! You guys are crankin’ out some serious mileage!</p>
Hops, that little girl might have had a more successful kb workout than I had last night 
<p>I’ve no doubt she had a more successful one than I did! </p>
<p>BB, do you have a hard time settling down to sleep after running in the evening? My work schedule has changed enough that it is getting harder for me to run when I would prefer (and my first obligation is to sabadog, who needs his exercise too).</p>
<p>Went to the Cheesecake Factory last night for DW’s birthday.</p>
<p>Hoo-boy. That place is criminal.</p>
<p>Back on the wagon today!</p>
<p>I love the made to order guacamole there, NRE. One of my favorite guilty pleasures!</p>
<p>Let’s not even get started on Cheesecake Factory - I just ingested 200 calories just THINKING about their menu!!!</p>
<p>Guacamole is a great snack though - just watch the “dippers” you use. If I use tortilla chips I just make sure to count out a few and make my scoops of guac bigger to get my fix. :)</p>
<p>I’ve been finding in the hot summer that I am not running till 8:30 or 9 - after the run I grab my dog for his evening walk and my cool down. By that time I can be cooled down enough to take my shower - an hour or so after that I can be relaxed enough to head to bed to read and then finally, sleep! But 8 miles a lot of distance to get in that late!</p>
<p>Wow, the made-to-order guac has 1600 calories. No wonder it is so good. ;)</p>
<p>Even the salads have a crazy number of calories.</p>
<p>The average piece of cheesecake there is around 1200 calories. We split 1 piece 3 ways, so it could have been worse.</p>
<p>I try not to go here very often. So many of their meals weigh in at over 1500 calories, and many are over 2000.</p>

<p>I also like guacamole spread on turkey slices with chopped bell peppers rolled up! I’m getting hungry. That’s a good idea to walk the dog for your cool down.</p>
<p>Got to share that guacamole, NRE!</p>
<p>One avocado has about 250 calories in it. The things I add to it : fresh tomato or salsa, chopped onion and jalapeno, garlic, lime juice and a little coarse salt don’t add much calories. Wonder what they are putting in that Cheesecake Factory guac or how many avocados they are using to make it! </p>
<p>Didn’t realize that avocados have so much fiber in them:

<p>
That calorie count probably includes a big pile of chips to scoop with.</p>
<p>It is HUGE. Enough for 4 people, easily. Plus I believe the chips are included in the calorie count. It’s quite tasty.</p>
<p>While you guys are working over the guac, I’ll be digging into hummus or Rojo’s salsa. Or just plain ol’ sour cream.</p>
