I kept looking at my paper over and over again to make sure I wasn't missing something. Mainly because last time I did this was just a month ago and my time was FIVE MINUTES SLOWER: 20:56. Usually it takes me months to cut that much time off anything... Yay me? I don't believe it...

I can't handle it.

I had this conversation the other day with my Korean language meetup group. A couple of ladies sitting next to us kept looking at us like we were terrorists for not knowing. Excuse me for being so un-american.

20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest, 8 sets

side lunges: 6, 6, 6, 7, 6, 7, 7, 7

Although my one-leg deadlifts and side lunges were less this time around, it's because I did them with 15# dbs. So I'm calling that an improvement. My mountain climbers sucked though...

I've been working on my pull-ups. Trying to break the three-in-a-row streak I've had for the past two years. Guh... Tried using some ankle weights, added 10#; I could barely do one. ONE.

Also, lately I feel like I'm always hungry, even though I just ate. *shovels food in mouth*

I beat my last record by 4 rounds. HUZZAH. I was unsure whether I would have improved much, especially since I did today's workout a lot later than usual. I was pretty sure I was going to be too tired to show any progress.

I get uncomfortable watching sex scenes in movies even when I'm by myself. I just can't help but wonder how awkward it must have been for the actors to try to feel like they're really into each other. And then I wonder how it must be for them when they're with their real significant others. "Give me some direction. Do I look ok?"

Last time I did Cindy wasn't even a complete Cindy. I cut it down to 10 minutes and all pull-ups were jumping pull-ups. Today was the first day I've done Cindy with all kipped pull-ups. Yay me. I still suck at them; I can't seem to get a good rhythm going for more than two in a row. I feel pretty alright about my progress (if you can call it that). I'm about to ruin it all with some rum and coke.

Took my nephew to walk around the track down the street. Since he's been on vacation, he seems a bit hyperactive. It seemed like a good idea to tire him out. When we got back, all he wanted to do was eat some corn and relax. Mission accomplished.

I've been binging all day. It started with breakfast at IHOP, tacos dorados for lunch and left over New Year's appetizers hanging around the house. SELF SABOTAGE. I am the master of it.

Autocorrect keeps changing burpees to burps. Stupid thing.
I finished this about one minute slower than last time, but that doesn't bug me. I hit a personal goal today: to finally do those ninja jumps. The first time I tried them I just mashed my feet under me and fell on my face. I really want to believe I'm progressing to where I want to be. It's taking me forever to "get back into shape." Not quite there...

This is the first time I completed this with all kipped pull-ups. I know that doesn't seem like much, but I was pretty sure I was barely going to get 5 rounds. My forearms are going to be awful tomorrow.

Yesterday was Day Five, last day, of eating raw. I felt incredibly good and happy, even. But I'm not sure if that was because of what I was eating or because I knew that I was only one day away from going back to eating "regular" food. The jury is still out (For the longest time I had no idea what the heck that meant).

Happy Hogmanay!

Day Three of eating raw. I felt completely spent when I was done exercising. It was weird, I ended up being super sore at night too. The whole time I felt sluggish through the workout, yet still beat my old time. Only by three minutes though; I was hoping to beat it by a wider gap. Blah...

Walking in the snow, again.

2011-12-04T14:18:00.000-08:00

I kept fogging up my glasses. Also, I need better snow shoes. The boots I have now have no treads making them uber slippery. Miraculously, I still haven't slipped and fallen.

Also, I don't like YouTube's new layout. Nope.

2011-11-30T20:40:00.001-08:00

I wrote this to my sister the other day, I thought I should also reveal it to the masses:

I have a proposition for you: 100 miles in 100 days. Starting 01 DEC, we'll have 100 days to complete 100 miles using whatever method you choose: running, biking, walking. That's not even 15 minutes a day if you decide to do a mile everyday. What say you? Everyone makes a resolution to "get in shape" EVERY year, and they start out strong at the beginning then give up after the first month. By starting in December, we'll have a head start, it won't even be a resolution, just a project you're already working on.

I'll be posting milage here. So if you see random numbers at the end of posts, well, that's why.

I swallowed a bit of gum while doing thrusters.

Day 100 of 100 days of burpees.

Good god. I did this a little over 4 minutes faster than the first time. I was aiming for less than 15 though. If I hadn't taken so many breaks, I maybe could have done it. But... *shrugs*
It's over. That's all that matters now.

Today I stuffed my face.

My left shoulder is giving me a hard time. I didn't really feel it until coming down on those jumping pull-ups; it's kind of like a quick stabbing pain... Right now it just feels sore, but it better not act up anymore, especially since I'm so close to day 100 of burpees. Dangit.
