Hitting the ground running....kind of
The event on Saturday has given me a huge wake up call. Obviously I know I'm pretty strong and lifting weights is kind of the thing I enjoy the most. But I've always wanted to maintain and all round fitness as much as possible.That means being able to run, swim, bike, box, pull cars and all the other modes of fitness that I enjoy.
After I got hit by a car back in 1998, it took me over two years to be able to run again.
Getting plantar fasciatis had a similar effect, but to be honest the pain was so bad for almost two years, that I now recognize that most of my aversion to running is from the fear of experiencing that level of pain again.
But being overweight has more of an effect than the running. The weight HAS to go first then I can start working through my fitness goals.
Enough musing.
The factual stuff:
Bed at 11pm
3x Ca MG Zc, 2x Ubermag, 2x Pink Magic. 4x Omega 3,6,9
Got up at 4.50am uninterrupted sleep
5.15am Mug of detox tea
It was iced up outside so had to skip breakfast
Took 6x BCAA (branch chain amino acids), 3x Pink Magic, 1x Green tea extract, 1xGarlic
7.45am 1 teaspoon of NO-Xplode
Decided to ditch the planned workout since both Chris and I were very sore. So did the following instead:
Chest Press 22x21, 26x13, 30x8
Pulldowns 60x21, 80x13, 100x8
Lateral Raises 10x21, 12x13, 14x8
Leg Extensions 40x21, 45x13, 50x8
Leg Curls 40x21, 45x13, 55x8
Leg Press 100x21, 120x13, 150x8
Crunches 21 (x4)
Lots of stretching and ball/foam roller release work
9.00am Breakfast
3 Poached eggs and baked beans
Mug of detox tea
11.30-12.00pm Circuit class
I've included this for class participants and those who couldn't make the class today
Warmup
6 Push ups / 20 Squats
repeat x6
Superset A and B
A decreases by 2 reps each set
B increases by 2 reps each set
A. Kettlebell Swings 20 down to 2 (-2 increments)
B. Jack Pushups 2 up to 20 (+2 increments)
A. Plank Alternating Knee to Shoulders 20 down to 2 (-2 increments)
B. Curtsy Lunges 2 up to 20 (+2 increments)
A. Alternating Squat Thrusts (Mountain Climbers) 20 down to 2 (-2 increments)
B. DB Stiff Leg Deadlift into Front Raise into Tricep Extensions 2 up to 20 (+2 increments)
A. Thrusters 20 down to 2 (-2 increments)
B. Floor Hops 2 up to 20 (+2 increments)
2.00pm Snack
10 Almonds
3.30pm Lunch
Chicken Breast and two corn on the cobs (fresh organic) with tomato salsa
1 pint of cold filtered water
6.30pm Dinner
Chicken breast with brocolli and raw carrots
1 Pint of cold filtered water
8.45pm Cup of Sleep Tea
Managed to write the concept sheets for 5 stories and start sketching as well. It's ALL about momentum once you can get the ball rolling it will get faster and you will find it easier to get more things done.
Apart from the obvious post workout soreness from Saturday, I feel slightly more energized than I normally do, although my mouth feels dry. Tomorrow I am going to increase my fluid intake. Also 9am-2pm, was way too long to go without food. I might need to cover this with almonds this week.
