Ruggedness Training November-December 112711-120311

112711 - Day 162 184.5 I'm wondering if one hour less sleep keeps me from dropping the wt I usually drop while sleeping? Looks like a milestone day nah ~ next one will be 180: Swam another mile today less time (1:08) didn't do much in the way of home work.. some balance stuff, maybe I'll stretch before bed. I deadlifted the weight down the basement for the first time since i set it up. It's just a barbell with maybe 200 lbs in weight on it. It felt funny, i haven't deadlifted in a long while. I'm impatient to start again, but that will be next month ~ only a few days away.
Sometimes i thing I'm losing track of the Ruggedness theme, esp since I'm not running, however the concept is doing the job. The body is in better condition, endurance is up and I think I am stronger in different ways than I was when I started. I REALLY need to start running and doing more outdoor exercise. It's so hard for me to get up and out when I wake up. Maybe easier when the Temple break comes at the end of next week - wednesday for me.

112811 Day 163 - 183 wake up warm up... push ups and squats w/vest ab work with 2ank-wts. Jax... Going for a fitness day today.. will post later.

112911 Day 164 183 - not much two sessions at Temple. Tuesdays...

113011 - Day 165 183 - Aqua Box, just Rachel in the pool. Maybe some home work b4 work if i can get off the comp.

December 2011

120111: - Day 166 183, cycle off of creatine start massive push ups campaign did 630 at work... let's see how many I do before work... times from midnight to midnight. 2ank wt atomic crunches & YMCA today. rt knee feels better.. still a twinge here and there. 1000 push ups today 21 sets mid-330a (630) the balance 230p-345p... 50 more at the Y. ended the day with 1050 officially. body feels a very good kind of sore, or vice versa.

120211: Day 167 181 inexplicable drop. Body weight is my barometer - what's different?? Slept with the space heater on, it's a bit colder out.... of course I've been training all week too... Exhaustive workout at the Y will have to jot down the routine.. first round was complete 3 sets of 5 exercises, next round way 2 sets of 5. Been taking naps between workouts and work - i've been THAT tired. It seems this has happened before, but i didn't write it down so i don't know whether it was the same time of year or not. This is usually signs of a cold trying to catch me.

120311: Day 168 - 181.5 This body needs to catch up with what I've been doing to it... short break, probably next weekend. I'll be far behind on swimming but may be able to catch up. Disappointing run on the tread at the Y... out of practice AGAIN!! I keep saying I'm not going to let this happen, but I do every time. Body fat is between 14-15% on a regular basis. Checked the weight and BF from 3 years ago... wt was 183, BF% was 18% - it's not a huge change but change nonetheless. 7 pounds of fat, 7 lbs of muscle have been exchanged. Maybe I can push that total up to 10-12 in the next year or two. I don't know what the national average is, I'll use this as my personal guide.
