beginning again

week: -0

Quite a while ago I bookmarked a blog entry by Men's Health editor Craig Ballantyne. This weekend I set up a spreadsheet cataloging the various kinds of exercises that he described. This way I can randomly generate a list of exercises to perform, and I have a basic (non-scientific) method of tracking my numbers.

I did my first version of this workout on Sunday, and another today. I'm going to be unable to use the gym for the next seven days, but this plan has a lot of bodyweight exercises that I could use instead, so I'll see how working out at home goes.

Last week we were preparing for Tang Soo Do testing. We attended class twice I think, but opted out of Friday's class. I also didn't want to hit the gym, lest I push myself too hard and make myself sore (it has happened before). Testing went well for the most part, except it took me three tries to break my board, and even then I had to use the remedial boards. Master C said I could try that part again in a few weeks.

After the test, we went to a Nepalese-Indian buffet, where I ate entirely too much chicken tikka marsala (?) and chickpea curry.

Sunday we ordered pizza so we wouldn't have to run out and cook while trying to do our role playing games with friends.

Hit the gym today, and the grocery for some fresh fruit. Getting ready to go to class in a few minutes, unless I cannot drag my dear husband away from his new videogame (Civilization IV).

No Independence Day parties for us, so no excessive eating and drinking.

Testing for our next rank (for fifth gup, green belt) in Tang Soo Do on Saturday.
