I kicked my own ass yesterday. Seriously I think the best weight workout I've had since starting. Fun!
Two other things to report - first, this morning I tried on a skirt that I had decided would be considered obscene if worn by me to work, as it had gotten a bit tight. Maybe I'm smoking crack, but it seems looser. I would now reclassify it as Probably Wouldn't Get Me Fired If Everything Else in My Closet Had Cat Pee On It And I Had To Wear It To Work. Hopefully it will be wearable soon and I can move back into maintenance mode. All I'm looking for is to fit back into my clothes.
Second, I am in the middle of my third fasting attempt. This one is going as well as the first one did. Much better to do this at work! I'll starting eating again around 4:30 or 5. Today is a rest day, which is good, especially after yesterday.
Exercise:
AM - 5 miles on treadmill: warmup, 10 minutes of craptastic HIIT, 4 minutes of craptastic jump roping, 5 minutes sitting on ass, then some actually pretty good lower-intensity intervals
PM - Weight training!
Fat Loss II, Workout B
A1 - Snatch-grip deadlift 12/65 12/65 12/65 (try for 70 next time)
A2 - Pushups 12/BW 12/BW 14/BW & 10 more on knees (Working on getting the form better before attempting a T)
(This B superset was by far the hardest I've ever done)
B1 - Bulgarian Split Squat w/ Overhead Press 12/8s 12/5s 12/5s
B2 - Assisted Chin-Ups 12/16 plate (88lbs assist) 12/16 12/16
C1 - Romanian Deadlift/Bent Over Row (fun!) 12/55 12/60 12/60
C2 - Lower-body Russian Twist 12/BW 12/BW 12/BW
Then, just for kicks, I attempted the BW matrix (24 squats/24 alt lunges/24 jumping lunges/24 jump squats) from NROL4W. Holy fuck. I clocked in at 4 minutes 20 seconds and hobbled out of the gym. I had planned to do it twice, but no freaking way.
