Saturday

Gym
Stretching, bodyweight squats, leg press, mobility drills (never done these before, my legs were like rubber) and some cardio.

I talked to the doc and he said that I can do light swimming and stretching but I'm gonna have to wait maybe 2-3 more weeks before I can box or lift proper.

I combined two routines to make the shoulder circuit. Most stretches come from the Shoulder Injury Prevention article by USASwimming.org. I added a couple more exercises that from the Shoulder Injury Prevention II video found on Strengthmill's injury prevention and rehab page. I'm starting off using very light bands since weights are still out if the option.

I've decided to include my fasting glucose levels as well. It's a real tight balance between what I eat (i.e., the carbs) and keeping proper glucose levels. Too much and I can go hyperglycemic, too little and it's hypoglycemia. Optimally I want to be around 95~100mg/dL. -90mg/dL and I start to feel the hypoglycemic symptoms; cold sweats, nausea, headaches and moodiness. +150~200mg/dL and I get headaches, blurry vision, tingling in my arms, and general malaise. Another problem I have is that when my glucose levels get really low, my mind goes into survival mode. that's usually when I gorge myself food thinking that I need to eat or else.

Morning : 91mg/dL
Evening: 87mg/dL I did my cardio around 10pm tonight and didn't eat anything beforehand.

Friday
Last day of the semester. The students had a closing ceremony and I got off early. I still have two weeks of teaching summer classes before I get my summer vacation though.

Diet

2758 Calories, 121g fat, 318g carbs, 105g protein.

Cardio
Swam 1.6km, Front crawl. Shoulder started to ache near the end. Felt good, but damnit, It was a very frustrating swim. I got kicked in the head while swimming by one idiot and another hit me in the side of the face with a flutter board as she jumped in the pool. Once summer starts here the pool just gets too crowded (100+), even though it's just a lane pool. During these months I found that being an asshole works real well. Regardless, I'm gonna have to go real early in the mornings if I want a good swim.

I've been meaning to post about my new gloves but keep forgetting. About a month ago I order some boxing gloves online from Canada. I ordered from Boxing gloves , Shoes, Headgear @ Rival Boxing and within a week they arrived at my family's house in Canada (then resent over here).

I ordered a pair of XL 14oz. bag gloves, a pair of regular and Mexican handwraps. I didn't know what Mexican wraps were so I ordered them just to see. Turns out they're not that different from regular wraps just more stretchy.





I haven't really been at the boxing gym these past few weeks. But when I did go, I used them. I found the gloves to be way better than the raggedy old Everlast gloves I borrowed off a friend. They have a better feel to them and good padding (that hasn't been flattened out by overuse). The support seems good too.



The gloves were kind of expensive (80$ Canadian) but worth it. It costs a lot to send anything over here to Korea, so no point in buying a pair of 30$ gloves when you have to spend 200$ to send a package.

Shortened workout session as I only had a few hours before I boarded the plane to Thailand. Right now I'm chilling on the island of Ko Samui and probably won't do to much for the next three weeks of my vacation (maybe some walking and swimming). We'll see how it goes.
