W/BF% : 218.2 / 20.2
This will be a short post, since I’m fairly tired this evening. At some point in the next few days, I’ll post an overview of my current get-back-in-shape plans, but for tonight I’ll just post my summary for today.
Overall, not a bad start. I don’t quite have my diet dialed-in, but I expect to get that straightened out over the next few days. I managed to work in 2 liters of water in addition to the usual diet soda, so that’s good. Took a bottle of fish oil pills and a bottle of multivitamins to work, so I should be able to take both more consistently. I need to do a bit more research into vitamin D – I’m not sure how much to supplement with, although it sounds like it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do so.
The workout today wasn’t bad – I’m continuing with the Chad Waterbury plan for the Velocity Diet. It’s been my workout plan for the last few weeks, and I dig it. I just need to improve my consistency and get my diet dialed-in, and I’ll be in business.
A.) Front Squats – 4 x 5 x 185
B.) Chin-ups – 4 x 5 x BW
C.) Dumbbell Bench Press – 4 x 5 x 75s
D.) Incline Sit-ups – 4 x 15
E.) Plank – 1 x 30s
Ended up working out post-work today, since I was slow getting going this morning. Of course, I was reminded once I got there why I prefer morning workouts – the gym was packed. Skipped the Crossfit warm up I typically do, as there was no way I would’ve been able to complete it without much aggravation. To compensate, I added an extra couple warm-up sets to my front squats, which helped a bit. Still, I felt a bit cold throughout – probably shouldn’t skip it the next time. Switched over to incline sit-ups/plank instead of the ab wheel since the ab wheels were MIA today. I think I might spend some more time doing planks – I’m pretty weak at them. I managed 30 seconds, but barely.
Enough rambling – that was today. All in all, not a bad start.
