Time to get the heavy bag in place and work through some solid combinations

My Friday after-work. Time to get the heavy bag in place and work through some solid combinations.

It has been a day with several bowls of oatmeal, so I should be fit for the fight. This is my first boxing session of the week. The other days have been filled with walking, cycling and kettlebells. An OK week.

And because it is Friday, I thought an oatmeal stout would be the perfect finish. For anyone completely lost by now, it is a dark beer style closely related to porter. No luck finding one, though. Everyone seems to go for lager or pilsner on a Friday. A rather boring choice, if you ask me.

Morning Start

  • Water
  • Walk with a walking stick and 8 kg resistance

Breakfast

This morning I had:

  • Milk — protein, calcium, and hydration
  • Banana — energy and potassium
  • Oats — fiber and slow-release carbohydrates
  • Yogurt — protein and satiety
  • Cardamom — flavor and aroma

It was a simple and balanced breakfast providing carbohydrates for energy, protein for recovery, and fiber for sustained fullness.

Later Today

  • Salmon dinner
  • Weightlifting session

A salmon dinner will add high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids, making it a good complement to today’s training and overall health goals.

There are days I don’t like you at all, and you don’t make it easy to handle you.
But I still interact with you—even on those days—and lift you up.
