Workout update
Jul. 30th, 2003 06:25 pmUp two pounds.
Poop.
Well, while I know it's not *good* news, I'm not sure that it's really *bad* news. My workouts have been sparse this week... lots of time in the car with not nearly enough time walking on Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday was just fight practice... lots of sweating and getting winded, but I'm not so confident in the calorie burn.
On the other hand, I've started doing more of the weight stuff. Couldn't do it today because I got invited out to dinner and I didn't leave myself enough time to do it and still be close to prompt (not to mention I hosed my forearms on Monday. Dumb Steeeeen). Did it Monday, last Friday, and last Wednesday though. My diet itself has been pretty good (two Max & Erma's cookies on Sunday. Sue me.), and I had to bust my ass to ever get my heart rate where the fitness folks say it should be for best cardio exercise (I know this not just because it was harder to hit the target rate, but because I also burned more calories than usual).
No weigh ins again until August 20th due to Pennsic. This will be interesting, mostly because I'll need to be conscious of my habit of available snacking, which is to say eating just because somethign happens to be there. Pop Tarts and Oreos are way too available in our camp, and I'll need to resist the temptation. On the other hand, two weeks of fighting in the sun may do me wonders. I'm going to hope so.
