Feel Good 3-5

So I opted to sleep in until 6 this morning, so I could get a decent 8 hours or so. Didn't do all that much today, just rode the bike up to the park, and rode around on the bike paths there, then I rode up to 7 eleven. Only did about 45 minutes today, just wasn't feeling it like most days. It'll be nice when I pick up that DDR, so I can do cardio on top of cardio.

So I did just upper body today, did 125 push-ups. 70-30-25, the last 25 being elevated. Pretty cool that I keep pushing my max set by 10. I wonder if I can hit 80 tomorrow? Who knows, I counted to 25, started counting to 25 again, then counted to 10 twice. That's how I paced it, just in case I wanted to stop at 50 or 60. In a couple weeks I can guarantee that I'll be able to do 100 consecutive push-ups. It's a bold claim I know, but I'll show you.

So after about three weeks of training, "Ninja Warrior" training, as Joe calls it, I feel like I'm comfortable enough to realize what I can and cannot do. I'm going to be sticking to a scheudle starting next week, which includes Cardio x7 (times a week), Intervals x3, upper body x5-6. core x4, and lower body x3. I'll divulge the specifics when the time comes. By the start of next month that would be a milestone, and I'll probably chart my eating as well. Nothing too ridiculous, just counting how many calories I consume, along with protein and carbs, in a day - along with how many I (theoretically) burn, to maintain about 30% below maitenence consumption. Cool stuff, it's fun to geek out on something like this, keeps me driven.

If I continue to lose about 2-3 lbs. a week or about 10 lbs. a month, it seems ridiculous, but I would be down to about 160 in a little more than 3 months from this very day. That's inspirational, if anything. Although I'm sure I'll hit a weight loss stand-still. I have to be putting on muscle at the same time. But as long as there are visible results, I'm fine with trading fat for muscle.

I get excessively tired right around this time every day. It's probably because I don't do much else besides the exercising within a day. Sure Joe came over yesterday and prevented me from going to sleep, but who's going to save me now? I may have to just go on a long walk or something, do something outside. If that DDR was here I could just be jamming out on that all day, unlocking songs, and burning calories without even noticing. I'm pumped, that's the last piece of the cardio puzzle. I'm done jabbering, until tomorrow, good blog.
