I wish it was bad ass, but with this place, it's weird. (Although I have to admit that the same people who I would be worried about thinking I am weird because I have a plate on my back are the same people that I normally would make fun of because of their stupid exercises. So.... why am I worried?)
Thanks D, even though I really don't think they're very strong. I'm going to stick out the whole giant set/intervals/whatever plan until Oct 13, and then I'm either doing a strength or hypertrophy one. I haven't done a dedicated get big/get strong (as the main goal) for a looooong time.
Well, the weekend was great, except for the dead battery in my car. (That's being fixed right now) And I was by myself for the last half of the weekend, so I had no transportation to the gym. Ended up doing a bodyweight circuit on Sunday and Monday in my room. However, that was easily negated by the crap eating of the weekend. I realize that it was a four day holiday weekend so I shouldn't be kicking myself too much, but Sunday was the only good whole day. I did well half of Monday, and then my morning and evening meals on Friday and Saturday, but that's still three rather large cheat meals this weekend. Not good.
So the short term goal is no cheating until next Sunday when all bets are off. Longer short term goal #1 is to look good the weekend of Sept 29-30, and the other one is to do well in the 5k on Oct 13.
With the beginning of football season, Sundays will be my big time cheat days, so I am going to need to keep clean the other six days of the week, which was my big problem last fall. I know it's possible to counteract the huge gorge on Sunday, but I have to be dedicated enough to do that. The last five months of clean eating have helped establish a baseline, but at the same time, I really didn't cheat all that much. The last month has been good, not great, and have probably cheated more since Aug 10 than I had from May to August. (Which is a testament to how locked in I got then)
Alright, enough rambling. I'm just killing time here at the rec center before class. (I am going to make sure not to give anyone the pleasure of sitting next to me today. Despite the body spray and deodorant I am sure I don't smell great)
