Countdown to Summer - Week 4

Busy, busy, busy week! Food was decent but I didn't get much exercise. I've been so busy!! I think I said that. Everything is going well, though.

Countdown to Summer - Week 3 - Sunday

Today I did the Cupcake 5K with my friend. It was her first 5K so I was really excited to run with her. I walked there (the long way) and ran home, so I probably did about 5 miles today.

I'm down 16 pounds from my dreadful high (since April 1). I think I'm back, baby! Only 23 to go.

Food:
banana
cupcake - I had to have one. My friend started her own vegan baked goods company and she was one of the people providing cupcakes for the 5K.
eggs w/ turkey bacon & chipotle sauce
pork tenderloin & mixed vegetables w/ olive oil

Countdown to Summer - Week 2 - Saturday

No workout today. I'm resting for the Cupcake 5K tomorrow. I did walk the mile and a half there and back to pick up my race packet.

Food:
coffee w/ half & half
sausage w/ cheese
almonds & chocolate

These were all 3x5.

box squat - 3x5x115 lbs - Up from last week.
single leg dumbbell calf raise - 3x5x25 lbs

assisted chin up
low incline bench press - 3x5x35 lbs

plank on Bosu ball - 3x45 sec

sumo deadlift w/ sandbag - 3x5x100 lbs - I had to change from straight leg DLs because the bag was rubbing the skin on my knees and shins raw.

After this, I did a metabolic workout - 1 minute of bench jumps, 1 minute of burpees with the Bosu ball, 1 minute of box jumps (18"), rest one minute, repeat twice. I LOVED IT!!!!

Damn, I have to get my diet straightened out.
