called it a day
 
today is just running, so I'll just be running for 20 minutes :D

I hate running, but w/e. my legs are finally better, so I can run today.

I had missed the gym for a while cause of snow, and I did legs tuesday, it killed my legs until just this morning. even now they're a little sore but I can probably run...

You're awesome. Seriously. I could only do 8 before I started to drop...push-up pussy right here. That's why I'm doing the challenge. I want to make my girly arms more beefy. ;) That, and generally build my upper body strength, as I've noticed in yoga that the asanas that require upper body strength (like chaturanga dandasana) make me quiver like my dog does when I'm cooking bacon.

I woulda guessed that "beefing up" with push ups would be more about doing several sets over, say, an hour, and keeping a good pump going throughout that time frame, as opposed to being able to do an arbitrary big number, like 100.
 
5 mile run to the harbor and back. only got heckled by one black person... YES!

Actually, as per the link I posted, it's a gradual process. You do five sets daily (with breaks between sets) with gradually increasing increments over a period of time (six weeks).

Oh, and I'm a chick, so I was being a wee bit facetious when saying I want beefy arms. I'm more concerned with being toned and healthy, but I also really want to build my strength.
 
I am up and 2 coffees into the morning.
Heading out for 45 min spin class and 55 min weight lifting class.

I am on day 4 of no weed. My new job drug tests. My start date is early April.
I am not sleeping well and have intermittent headaches. I don't know what to do with myself at night. It was such a part of my nightly routine.

Positive note: I dropped 3 lbs in 4 days. No munchies. Less daily caloric intake.
 
probably going for a 3 mile run since it is relatively warm outside.

still sore from my 5 miler + standing at work all day yesterday
 
benchpress warmups 135 185 225 x 12 each
benchpress working sets 275 x6 295x3 315x2 335x1 345x1
cable flies
cardio
 
yeah, did that 2.?? mile sqift run w/ my friend. came back and did a bunch of pullups, some body weight rows. Nothing staggering.
 
Yep, so I'll be doing REAL squats again today (what with a barbell and all).


Also, I've been walking to and from work with a 70 lb back pack. I have no idea what this is doing for me physically, but I mean, it's soooo uncomfortable that it's gotta be doing SOMETHING for me, right?
 
today is legs, sooo I'll be doing:

lunges w/ dumbbells: 25x15, 30x12, 35x10
squats: 70x15, 90x12, 100x10 (plus the bar ~25lbs)
hamstring curls: 70x15, 80x12, 90x10
calf raises: 155x15, 175x12, 195x10

and also abs...

there's more I think but I can't remember it right now... :\
 
went into beast mode and did like a set of 50 pullups, pushups, situps. extremely pissed off right now.
