Ruggedness Training September: 91111-91711

Hello me... what do I want to remind myself of this week. This was the week I started training in ESL. At the point of this post I have passed the seminar but I still have more to do. Meanwhile GX has been awesome, very high energy, very hot (with body heat) rooms/sessions... More to follow...

91111 - Day 85 - 182.. already gaining weight, ha, just kidding. No training yesterday, spent the day in class and will likely do the same today. However today, 8 hours of class and then a few hrs off then off to work. Maybe I can get some training done there. Maybe i can at least jump on the tramp today and maybe a few push ups before class. It sounds odd writing and thinking, "class." had the left knee wrapped most of yesterday, after an icing and heat rub , it's better today. sat in class all day GX starts tmr, restart Arginine as well.. start 1.5 gm per day then increase to 3 next week... maybe in 2 wks, we'll see. I should have time to run b4 Temple also. I should split the year into 3 parts so after 122 days I'll open another document. (Just notes to myself. Hwevr - i feel i'll lose this in an archive.) No matter it's online and not THAT important.

91211 - Day 86 - Today we return to Arginine and start doing different types of push ups for our morning routine. Also GX begins again at all locations including Mondays at Temple so I'll only be getting to the Y on Fridays at least for now, maybe weekend will open up in 2 weeks. Started with the trampoline, wonder if I have time to run, seems like a good day for it 72 degrees, we'll see, got some chores to do. Crab style 50-20-30-(easier w/ a longer break)-40-hitting these between chores I find it a good way to do it and they get easier the more I do. Awesome GX session... great group.... 1/4 - 1/2 mile run from train with backpack and full pockets.. ouch.

91311 - Day 87 GX was awesome yesterday. I think I od'd on protein tho, didn't count the grams, just the results. Woke up 182.5 today, feeling dry and crampy b/c we rocked legs lots yesterday. 3 mins tramp, more crab push ups 55- PUMPED and Aqubox at Temple wore my ass out!!

91411 - Day 88 182.5 holding steady, 63 push ups... +55, Aqua Box was great!! I led the class and got a good sweat, didn't come home exhausted... EZ Day.. YMCA tomorrow...

91511 - Day 89 182: Ate my last microwave meal last night. Haven't lifted or run all week, however lots of group fitness activity, doing the usual walking up steps etc. Push ups when I wake up, crab style.. Today so far 40+40+ Then GX at the Y... guess all the activity is working, I am tired... seem to be sleeping well, could use more hydration tho I think. 50 more +30 after GX... Good session at the Y.

91611- Day 90 - Lost track of the days now that i'm much busier i may not update daily... anyway, 182.5 today. Can't decide whether this is maintenance or a plateau. 182 isn't a bad weight for me, it keeps me under overweight status (BMI wise) I am however very dissatisfied with my belly, I can see the cuts coming and the 6 emerging, but there's that flab, probably left over from when I was in the 200s. I need to do more actual training for the run in NY, I've done no running in I don't know how many days. Today I did a very short run with the backpack on after the Y workout, which was good. Let me recount -
Leg circuit: Inverted leg press 435, didn't get any 30s but I did do more than 15 each of 3 sets. Then 30 calf presses, then went to standing calf raises, then feet flex w/ 40 lbs, and finally dumbbell swings w/ 65 lbs.. only 6-8 reps total... it's brutal.. Dumbbell presses with 60s, then incline bar (only) press... Lat pull downs, got a 30 so I added a brick, shoulder flies and triceps cable push super set.. then out...

91711 - Day 91 - Ha on day 91 I'm sitting in a class for 8 hours. I guess rest is a good workout in a way...
