I’m Done With Fat

I still do… I think.  Wow I was bad over this weekend increasing my beer intake and eating badly a couple of times.  I also only managed to pump out 16 push ups in my exhaustion test.  So I started today badly by waking up late and not being able to get any type of workout or breakfast in.

Couch to 5k
Today was really hard for me.  I went in thinking I wouldn’t be able to do a whole 3 minutes because the longest I ever ran before was for a minute and a half.  Well with the encouragement of a friend not only did I do it once but twice.  My right leg was killing me, I will have to do some work to stop these shin splints.

One Hundred Push Ups
Well I only did 16  for my exhaustion test so I was in column 1 of week 3.  Why does it seem like every push up I do is harder than the first one I id when I started this program?  My max today was only 15.  I am very disappointed in myself for how slowly I am progressing.

Shovel gloving
Well I still feel really stupid swinging it around but it is getting a little easier and my strength is increasing so I am assuming it is helping.

I woke up late… again, see a pattern?  I only had time to eat breakfast and do my hundred push up challenge.
My initial test was 7 push ups, keep in mind, when I did my first 10 today I blasted through those and I also got my max to 11.  So I am moving on up with only a day of training.  I am feeling really good to be able to add 4 push ups to my total.

Tonight I am meeting my girlfriend and her mom for all you can eat wings tonight, what a food challenge for me, I love wings.  I am going to try to just get a salad.  After wings at some point I am going to have to find time to run and shovelglove again.

Wow, I am weak.  This shovelglove is wearing my arms out.  My girlfriend was in the room with me today and she was laughing at me and to tell you the truth I felt like a big dork swinging around the sledge hammer.

But it did make me sweat a little and I feel better to have done it than just sitting down and watching T.V.

DIET
My diet has been going great, although I seem to not be eating enough calories.  Oh well, tonight me and my girlfriend made eye of the round steak and I made some asparagus with butter and garlic.  MMMMMMM Tasty.

Woops, I woke up late.  Only time to eat breakfast and do one of my three routines.

I poured myself a bowl of Special K, and had two pieces for wheat toast with skim milk.

Day 1 of One Hundred Push Up challenge, has me in the second column.   I did the first 7 push ups and was feeling okay, then did the next 7 after a 60 second rest, my arms are starting to burn.  I have to push myself to do the next 5 push ups, I don’t think I can do the next 4,  I am feeling really bad about myself at this point.  The last set is Max (up to 5 push ups),  no way was I even getting 2 done at this point, but I surprised myself and hammered out 7.  Now I am feeling good but have to go to work.

I will run after work and shovelglove as well.  I am running with the UllReys Couch to 5k Podcasts , I will give an update after work.
