My Body Told Me

My body told me today at work that I did a marvellous job yesterday in the gym, especially every time when I got up after having sat for a while. ;-)

Went to the gym after work but did only stretches and 40 min on the treadmill Fat Bruning HR at 120+ with medium intensity (incline 2.5, speed 4.7-5.2). My goal besides burning those kcal was mainly to loosen up those muscles that worked really hard yesterday. I also did a set of calf raises without any DBs - hard enough without today.

Off for wok and chicken now. later I will have shrimps. I do wonder why those laying in salty water has a much highter kcal content in all lists?

Fantastic Day

tri-mv@online.no's picture

I've had a fantastic day today. Car started this morning which made my life so much easier. Then I was allowed by the inspector at work to leave an hour early so I hit the gym very early and could spend much time there without it becoming very late.

At the gym I was able to do not one but two cardio sessions. One before Strength and one after. Both more than 30 minutes with increased speed and and incline of 2 or 2.5. On the first one I even managed to do 3 intervals of kind of running for 30 seconds while holding the bars. That is major for me because I usually do not run and mastering running on the treadmill is one of my goals.

Cardio was good, I built up a good sweat and HR was 140-147 most of the time which is exactly where I wanted it to be.

In between the cardio sets I did 1h10min of very effective strenght training where I increased weight as well as did new exercises. Very happy about today's workout.

Foodwise, my cravings has left me again and I was able to really enjoy my evening meal of wok vegs and chicken.

To sum up: I have had agreat day and feel ready to do well for another month.

Unhappy today - not ready for another of these extreme cold periods. -24C this morning, not even possible to turn the key in the ignition - car frozen solid and will probably stay so untill we've had a couple of mild days. The worst is that the strong cold is supposed to last at least this week and a bit into the next.

No transportation to the gym (or anywhere else for that matter), no nice long outdoor walks.
Can't get my new training ball from the sports shop unless someone offers to drive me there. In short - I'm being negative today.

I know it is excuses as well as explanations and hopefully tomorrow I will feel fit for fight and will find ways of handling this positively. As for today I allow myself a tiny little pityparty with fan ovens working overtime and me under a duvet in the sofa reading.
