So that was a little too mysterious.\u00a0 Sorry.\u00a0 Succintly put, there is just too much going on with work and life and the weather being beautiful and I just need to spend time living instead of talking about it.\u00a0 Executing on plans instead of making tons of them.\u00a0 Winging it.\u00a0 Reveling in the moment.\u00a0 And such.<\/p>\n
This just means that instead of attempting to do 5 posts per week, I’m going to lower my expectations.\u00a0 I would HIGHLY doubt I’ll not check in at least once a week.\u00a0 Maybe even a few times a week.\u00a0 I just definitely don’t have time to do 1k+ words every weekday.\u00a0 So don’t worry, you’re not getting rid of me that easily.\u00a0 You will just see a little less of my ugly mug, and I may not be able to make it to your blogs as often for now.\u00a0 Deal?\u00a0 Deal.<\/p>\n
Down to business.\u00a0 So, a short weekly update.<\/p>\n
Last Week’s Workouts:<\/strong><\/p>\n Monday: Hill repeats. 1 mile warmup, 400m @ 10 min miles uphill (2.0 to 4.5 on the treadmill), 400m recovery x7, then 1 mile cooldown. After that, some leg strength work. I hate hills but I need to get better at them.<\/p>\n Tuesday: 30 mins arc trainer, 45 mins arms + abs. Was just thinking “get through this as fast as possible so I can get home and play final fantasy, heh”.<\/p>\n Wednesday: All out-ish 5k in 26:15. I was mentally exhausted after a long day, so I’m pretty proud of this even if it wasn’t a PR. I’ll set the goal for next weekend as under 26. My heel was aching after this and hadn’t felt right all week, so I knew it was time for new shoes. Decided to hold off on more running until Monday.<\/p>\n Thursday: 30 mins of strength.\u00a0 My heel was still thrashed so I stayed off it. Did my new resistance band circuit (6 arm and leg workouts) + some ab work x2.<\/p>\n Friday: 40 mins on the arc trainer.\u00a0 Babying the hurty heel, did alright. Felt better today.<\/p>\n Sunday: Walked about 2 miles to and from the kite festival.\u00a0 It counts, right?<\/p>\n This Week’s Workouts:<\/strong><\/p>\n Monday: Gym circuits.\u00a0 1 mile running, 4 arm exercises x3, 1 mile running, 4 ab exercises x3, 1 mile running, 4 leg exercises x3, stretch.\u00a0 Breaking in the new shoes.<\/p>\n Tuesday: 45 mins arc trainer<\/p>\n Wednesday: 5k outside, resistance band workout (arms and legs)<\/p>\n Thursday: 30-45 mins arc trainer\/DDR, abs<\/p>\n Saturday: 5k race<\/p>\n Yeah, it’s not my normal insanity but a) I’m working at least 10 hour days and b) I’m racing (a little unofficial one but still) a race this weekend.\u00a0 So there.\u00a0 If I don’t call it slacking you can’t either.<\/p>\n Food Consumption\/Weight\/Etc:<\/strong><\/p>\n Last weekend was Zliten’s birthday.\u00a0 We had steak and queso and chocobo cake and pretzels and cheese for breakfast… I’m thinking I didn’t go ridici-crazy, but it’s worth noting that there were things that did not go along with my normal eating plan, fo sho.\u00a0 This week, it’s crunch week at work.\u00a0 There has been junk food ALL OVER.\u00a0 The people who order food know I am generally a healthy eater and ask me if what they’re ordering is ok or if I need anything special (it’s good to be boss), so like today, I had 2 slices of pizza and a GIGANTA-salad.\u00a0 Considering I had a light lunch, and didn’t snack, it was perfect.<\/p>\n Now the baked cheetos and half slice of cake when I got home…not perfect.\u00a0 We’ll have to work on that.\u00a0 Generally I’ll be getting up and working out BEFORE work so it won’t be 9:30 and I come home again looking for noms, but, perhaps I should look into a late night snack option if it happens again.\u00a0 Cuz I cannot come home from the gym after almost 1 1\/2 hours and not ingest something.<\/p>\n Weight-wise?\u00a0 Last week I was around 159-ish.\u00a0 Not optimal, but not horrible.\u00a0 I’m just having an issue getting really worked up about it, though I am finding I’m down 0n my appearance a bit internally lately.\u00a0 Not good, but I understand I just don’t have the OOMPH to change it right now.\u00a0 Soon.\u00a0 But not now.<\/p>\n That’s about it.\u00a0 Hopefully I can make it back to blather about more but for now – off to work and play and be outside when I can and dance and sing and be happy.\u00a0 Enjoy your week!<\/p>\n
