God I suck at updating. I think I need a daily reminder on my calendar to say "Update your blog damn you!" Okay let's do the running sessions first:
Holy fuck running for three minutes is tough. I feel like death each time but I always make it through. Next week I'll be going for five minutes. Who knows how I'll make it through that.
Strength training is getting tougher too. Here's what I lifted Friday:
3x5 Squats: 135lbs
3x5 Bench Press 95lbs
1x5 Deadlifts: 175lbs
15 NS crunches
Good news is, I'm going very deep on the squats. Yoga helped with that. I think I'm definitely going to keep going. Next session is Wednesday for the Beginner Yoga so that should be fun.
The bench press was definitely tougher. I really had to push myself to make my last set. I'm upping my protein intake since I normally only have about half what I'm supposed to (leaving my body to take the rest from my fat) but since I'm thinking I might plateau soon, I want to get over that fast. In better news, I'm getting good at those NS crunches, so I'll be adding weights soon.
I made a math error with my deadlifts so I only increased them by 10lbs not 15lbs. I supposed it's for the best since I over did it a bit on my last deadlift. My lower left back was displeased with me and I had it in on a heating pad for the rest of the day. It's perfectly fine now but I think I need to brush up on my technique.
Tonight I'll be doing my lifting. I would have done it this morning but they shut the gas off to my house at 9ish, which would me no hot water for showers. Considering how sweaty I am after a workout, I like a proper shower, not a cold one.
