Managed to get to the gym early enough to complete my routine before a doctor appointment I had yesterday. -Worked hams and calves. I did the normal routine with added resistance on all exercises with the exception of the seated calf raises which come at the end of the routine. In addition to the usual routine, I did 3 sets of 10 weighted squats. The weight was negligible at two plates. We will see if it makes any difference in how my legs and butt feel. As usual squats got the juices flowing and my breathing up. I definitely need to work these in on leg days.
Weight is right on at 175 - 176 lbs. each morning. I feel great at this weight. Sometimes I look in the mirror and see a skinny guy staring back at me but I haven't panicked so far. In the past, I would get nervous when I got down to around 180 lbs. thinking I was going to look emaciated like I did as a kid. Maybe I am finally over my obsession with being big at any cost. Lucky for me that my metabolism is that of a young person. I can eat what I want, just a little less of it and the pounds still come off. As I mentioned in another thread, I never feel hungry.
-Picked up the sample prescription for contacts. Wore them yesterday evening. I can see pretty well with them, but not quite as good as with the glasses. I think it is because I do mono vision which means one eye is corrected for distance and the other for close work. With the glasses both eyes are corrected for distance and close, using blended bifocal lenses. In a few minutes, I'm going to pick up a second pair of glasses which I had made for my previous frames. I'll have so much working eyewear that I can look different all the time.
