Back from a Portland vacation. Did some band pull-aparts in the hotel and started two mornings with 50 push-ups. I normally avoid doing them raw with no push-up handles, but it dawned on me that I should push the progress of my elbow as well as my right wrist (which has been hurting when I do burpees and push-ups with my palms) a little. I managed!
Did a lot of walking and I'm on the ball with eating on vacations now. Ate a lot of outside food but they were quality choices, like chicken wings and multiple orders of deviled eggs at various places. I figured get as much protein as possible because carbs are so easy to come by when travelling. The worst meal was a diner with food that was the absolute pits. My open-faced roast beef sandwich was basically dry meat covered in canned gravy dumped over some white Wonderbread. I almost always eat all my food or take it to go, but for once I opted to only eat the meat and let them throw the bread away.
A cool highlight was coming back from a nightclub after searching in vain for anywhere open with food and whipping out my George Foreman grill at the hotel to make eggs with hummus for everyone. Because of course I left my friends to walk to the grocery store earlier that day to ensure I had food. Someone quipped "Good thing we travel with a buff person."
The next day, we all scored various game meats from a stall at the Saturday downtown market. I picked up alligator tail jerky and elk sticks. George doesn't eat much in general and gave me his wild boar later, which helped at the airport. Also had cans of salmon from the store.
And just to add to the testosterone side of things, the military surplus store we visited on the final day had an old chopper in their yard. We drove there on the advice of a local saying they have tanks, but alas, it wasn't to be.
Also, these were the best wings I've ever had. Half were berry flavored and the other were...I forget, something garlicky. I'm craving them bad as I eat my bison at work typing this.
Seriously, I ordered deviled eggs at restaurants so many times George started commenting on it.
A final shot of saving the world, Rambo style.
