I keep not updating. Things are still going. I mean, by my wacked out standards, the past two weeks have been a wash. But by normal standards, I did work out most days.
Let me see how far back I can remember - a lot of its been running stuff, which I don't talk about a whole lot here. And I stopped recording my nutrition after Chris told me that I wasn't eating enough calories. That's right, when I said I ate like 1500-1800, he was like "you're not eating enough at all." And he knows I'm trying to lose the body fat too, so I guess he's just really smart and I am working on the naive logic of calorie control. So I started eating more - or at least more calorie-dense things. Okay, not healthy stuff. I admit it. After my dental appointment two weeks ago, I discovered the McDonald's coffee milkshake, which is insanely incredible. I had two that day for my meals, so my face was half numb and I kept biting my tongue when I tried to chew. It was also Easter, so my mom is always fantastic with healthy well-balanced meals. It's kind of cool that as my parents get older they not only eat healthier, but eat a lot more veggies and in lesser quantities. It's even more exciting to go home. My mother is just as excited about spinach lately as I am! And they always have bulk quantities of berries and fruit that they get at Sam's Club.
Anyway, my workouts in backwards order:
Today: Bootcamp class (3 circuits of 4 exercises (25rep-20rep-15rep-10rep) including my favorite 8-count body builders, burpees, mountain climbers, push-ups; quick abs at end) + upper body (cable work for tri/bi/delt/crossover, bench dips, pull-ups (military/narrow) and dips 10rep each at 65lb asstd in a row!; row/chest press SS mid-10rep); 4 hours sleep; 1 strawberry chobani greek yogurt 6oz;
Yesterday: 8:15pm-9:30pm lower body workout (jump squats on the box!! and most of my usual walking lunge/squat routine; leg ext/curl midweight 10-rep SS x4; leg press 12rep, 90-100-110 glute + quad; off-step lunges 360deg;
Tuesday morning: 3 mile run (25:12); Sox game that night
Monday: Nothing at all. I didn't even fantasize about working out. Okay, maybe I did fantasize about it a little bit, I can't help it.
Sunday: 18.5mile run + 3 mile walk home; hurting and tired out too quickly; 6hrs sleep; only 10oz on me due to the hydration pack disaster; 32oz gatorade after plus water; sunny day around 50 degrees - got sunburned (time for sunscreen!); wore Saucony Triumph 5s - new blister on left foot, 2nd smallest toe - brutal by mile 10 even through the moleskin; Nike bottoms, green nike tank
Saturday: 0.5 mile run when hydration pack broke!
Friday: Nothing at all, dental work and travel
Thursday night: Muscle Conditioning (w/Catherine);
Thursday morning: Bootcamp (partners, an easier class), upper body
Wednesday night: 6 mile "fast" run down to BU bridge and back; really dark and scary after 8pm and turned around (note to self: go earlier if you want to do a loop down to the JFK bridge); not as fast as I thought I was though - sprinted back quicker though given fear of being mugged/raped/attacked by squirrels
