AA2 Week 2, Day 5 - Fri, 25-Mar-2011

SMARTER GOAL - Catch up on my workouts.

I did not catch up on my workouts as I'm not doing today's workout.  Three workouts in one day is too much fo rme, but I did get Wed & Thurs' workouts done, so I still think this goal is successful.

WATER CONSUMED (Goal is 100 oz):
Drank 22 oz by 1:30 am
22 oz by 11:00 pm ( oz total))
22 oz by 3:15 pm ( oz total)
22 oz by 5:15 pm ( oz total)
22 oz by 6:45 pm ( oz total)

--------------------------------

MEALS EATEN:  P Day

Meal 1 (7:15 pm):  3.5 organic scrambled eggs with spinach, a little blue cheese (thought I grabbed the goat cheese), salsa

----> The blue cheese has made me feel so pucky and sort of ruined my eggs.    

Meal 2 (10:00 am):   a Yoplait Light peach yogurt, an oatmeal raisin cookie

----> I don't know why I ate this.  I just didn't want to eat anything healthy.


Meal 3 (1:45 pm):  Greens Smoothie - kale, spinach, mango, blueberries, fat free Greek yogurt, psyllium husk, cinnamon, water

Meal 4 (4:45 pm): 

Meal 5 (8:10 pm):

Warmup (2 rounds):  2:58
- Pushups x 8
- Squats x 12

Weight Based Interval Workout - Week 2, Workout #2

Equipment Used:  Polar RS200SD Heartrate Monitor, Foam Roller, Jungle Gym, Bosu Ball
- Bodyweight Row Wide Grip w/Feet on Bosu x 20 reps -----> This was the most challenging of the exercises.  Having the feet on the Bosu the whole time was much more challenging than 1-foot.
- Overhead One Legged Step Ups to Bosu with Front Kick x 20 reps/leg ----->  These were harder on the Bosu than on the foam roller.  Adding the front kick made balancing more challenging.  However, it was too challenging on the foam roller to do the front kick.
- Foam Roller Grasshoppers x 20/leg ----> No issues here.  More challenging on Foam Roller than Bosu.
- Foam Roller Mountain Climbers  x 30/leg ---->  Love these!  More challenging on Foam Roller than Bosu.

Max Heartrate = 127 bpm
Avg Heartrate = 114 bpm

Zone 1 = 2:26


Notes:  This was a good workout, but the truth was, I didn't want to workout and was going to skip this altogether.  I'm also feeling pukey from accidentally putting the wrong thing on my eggs and feel yucko!!  This was Wednesday's workout.  I still need to do Tabatas from yesterday's workout.  Let's see if I can get this done quickly or not.  I'll still be one workout behind after that, which is today's workout, which I'll do tomorrow.
