ten ten ten

Day 2 is always going to be tough, sort of the day where if you don't do the training then you probably won't again. I began housesitting for some family friends on this day, which is a lovely huge house with a good backyard with a good patch of grass for doing some training.
This post is for 3rd October 2011.

Workout was designed by me and done in the backyard. This was tough but manageable and man I was sore after yesterday that's for sure. My body is definitely punishing me for taking such a long break from training.

10 squats
10 burpees
10 situps
10 leg raises left
10 leg raises right
10 tricep dips
10 pushups
10 lunges left
10 lunges right
10 metre run

This was to do as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes.
Result: 3 rounds plus the squats and the burpees

If i was to do this again I would change the leg raises for something harder, they were a bit soft. Another way of doing it would also to do 10 rounds for time. During the workout I was thinking about how hard that would be and yeah-it would be hard and it would hurt. Which only makes me want to try it :)

Food intake:
Cereal and milk
1 poached egg
3 slices of ham
2 tomatoes, 1/2 red capscicum with orange juice, balsamic, and salt and pepper dressing
chocolate covered peanuts
1/2 goldren rough
1/2 mint pattie
2 rice crackers with peanut butter
2 saladas with peanut butter
cashews, almonds
1 carrot with peanut butter
vintage crumbly cheese
1/8 of a watermelon

The lesson to be taken from the second half of the food intake is to not pick at food, sit down and eat a meal and not pick at food from the fridge and pantry purely out of boredom. A good trick to avoid this is to make a tea when I feel myself being drawn to the kitchen.
