A mixed day, really - it started well, with 40 minutes of circuit training and two of the ten-minute solution workout (boot camp and kick boxing), but the plans I had for a couple of medium walks fell through because of both running out of time (damn you, Facebook!) and tight calves. I had also planned to go to a stretch class, whcih would help with the calves and add more time in, but that all fell apart because of a friend in distress. I recently read that people aiming for weight loss need to exercise for at least an hour most days, ideally an hour and a half, so I have to lift my game for February.
My diet's still pretty good, though I really need to up the vegies again. Calorie King went down for maintenance this afternoon, so I don't know what my intake for the day has been, but I've been eating through some of my Lite'n'Easy backlog, so it shouldn't be too bad, albeit probably overly processed and too high in salt.
Off to bed, for I have a lot to do and diminishing time in which to do it before I'm back at work on Thursday night. It'll have been ten days between shifts and doesn't feel like anything more than my usual three - how quickly one adapts!
And how quickly one regresses. I had to work pretty hard int he circuit session today, and though I can feel my stength improving, my abdominal muscles persist in being more like junket than anything useful.
Tomorrow is weigh in and measuring day and I think it's probably a good time to set a fitness baseling to compare myself with at the end of the month - taking a leaf from the Excess Baggage introduction I saw last night, I'm thinking of"sit ups in a minute, pushups in a minute, how long I can hold a plank, how far I can reach to/past my toes from a sitting position, and on Thursday I'll compare and contrast cardiac recovery with a baseline I set last year. - Alex
