full tilt

Pleasantly sore from yesterday’s workout:

Part A

five sets of five deadlifts, weight: 40/44/48/50/52kg

after each set of lifts, rest for 20 sec, sprint 100m, rest for 3min

Part B 

5 rounds of 30sec burpees/30sec rest

While in general, I am no fan of running, I have to admit I enjoy 100m sprints. The distance is short enough that I can actually sprint at maximum effort comfortable in the knowledge that it will all be over within seconds. There is something inexplicably fun about running as fast as I possibly can—-it is just not something that I do very often IRL.

Also, by way of an experiment, I logged my full calories for yesterday. I usually keep a loose record of eats, but occasionally I like to do the detailed record keeping just to see where I am at. I had been worried that my sweet tooth was undermining my excellent efforts, but instead I was pleasantly surprised to see that I was actually 100% on target. Even though I make room for cookies/chocolates/ice cream pretty much every day (and sometimes twice), it seems that the quantities are small enough and my overall carbs low enough that it doesn’t seem to be hurting me. Yesterday, my main source of surprise carbs was the orange juice I put in my smoothie, not the cookies at all! Woo hoo!
