This week things get kind of back to normal, just one GX training session on monday so I can come in strong and energetic rather than partially drained from that first session. Escaped to Brooklyn for the weekend. Much drinking and eating, but managed a lift day. I am not amazed that my body quickly metabolizes what it needs/wants and gets rid of the rest. I don't eat bad in New York, just different. The cost in pounds isn't even significant
100211 - Day 106 184.5 - want a redo b/c my BF was higher than normal. Came it at 19% woke up at 20% - this is unusual b/c I usually go up 2-4% (mind you this is more a measure of hydration than actual body fat) but not today. I've begun to note anything unusual, even an unusual drop. Anyway, went for a massage. My masseuse is great, she noticed more lean muscle mass in my calves - good, more running and jumping and calf work has paid off. Also I need to try and separate the muscles in my left calf now as I did with the right a few months back. I'm REALLY trying to blow my legs up and lean them out muscle-wise for running and climbing. Thought i was going to run after massage, but I just felt like resting. Maybe I'll have just one GX session tomorrow, but I'm prepared for two. It's a cold dreary day, might be why I am so tired... rest, maybe stretch. BMI 25.8 technically i am over weight by 6 lbs... however I don't buy the BMI scale, I just use it as a guideline. This drowsiness may be the onset of a cold, I must note I've been poppin' vitamin C tabs for a few days, b/c of change in weather and listening to my body... good to write this stuff down to see if I'm correct.
100311 Day 107 183.5 I think this wt is here to stay for a while. Anyway woke up feeling GREAT!! despite low H2O - had 2 cups of tea overnight, it was cold, plus i think a cold is trying to catch me. No sniffles or too much sneezing, but I get that feeling so Vitamin C when I wake. 7 mins tramp, 150 (in 2 sets) calf raises, 2 sets (30 reps) air squats, 3 sets diamond push ups.. Get up off the floor cross legged, with assist. Now, off to Temple for at least ONE GX Session. (Oh yeah, gotta eat.) I felt and smelt the funky sickness sweating out of me today.... I kept my distance from the participants. Sick is trying to get me. Anyway, it was a challenging day, weakness came upon me during the first hour and I needed to artificially rev things up the next class. i think they noticed, "still good tho." Now I have to fight whatever sickness is coming after me. I'm up for it. will probably have to eat more... I bought some bullion... maybe take some of this to work with me tonight. Still going hard core!!
100411 - Day 108 181 - two gx classes, sore in the core, see book for more. no time to update at the moment. Still feeling weaker than normal wondering if the wt drop was from over-nite eating (fruit, salad, broth, tea) or the sickness, correction or something else. It was PUMPED and Aqua Box today, and I was beginning to feel more like my normal self. Left knee and rt ankle were wrapped I felt super tired afterwards, but still made it to work.
100511 - Day 109 - 183.5 had some casein protein before sleep, let's see if anything happens. it's slow digesting protein. Will have to update from the book.
woke stronger today jumped on the tramp, 2 sets of squats 30 & 35, 2 sets calf raises, 2 sets diamond push ups. Energy level coming back. Still haven't run. Good aqua session, i left tired as usual. Haven't been in the pool the last two sessions. Left side is playing up again, knee and abs. Left abs spasms?/tightness - not bad, but there. Going for less sleep tomorrow and a run, will probably make the knee feel better.
100611 - Day 110 - (Early AM @ The Gig) Small chills coming, seems like sick is after me again, some stress due to Verizon and BS at the job, I will defeat all opponents. Brooklyn bound tonight after the Y (and didn't run). 183.5 hit the trending wt dead on today, that means something. Woke up dehydrated Functional Fitness again was awesome, I LOVE Thursdays at the Y, I was energetic and my brain was working also. Started the (2nd part of) the day 5 mins trampoline, squats and calf raises... diamond push ups 1 set of 20 maybe. Jumped rope, inverted push ups before class.
100711 - Day 111 (wt unknown) This was the beginning of a cheat weekend, much drinking - but always water between cocktails - food I normally don't eat, much bread, dough, etc.
100811 - Day 112 wt. unknown: Harbor Fitness Park Slope - I like this gym,like the weights and set up down stairs the showers - although I only get there 2-3 times a year so it hasn't gotten old to me. Had a great workout, managed the 3x3 db chest press, shin flex, calf raise - I'll spare you the details, it was very much a vanity workout focusing mostly on the upper torso until finally leg extensions on a Hammer strength, where you actually load iron onto the machine. Harbor has at least 6 100 lb plates close by. By my final set i was struggling to get 4 reps of 290 out - they were more like half reps but still made it through. (Range was 200, 220, 240, 270 finally 290.) Happy I got to lift at least once this week,
