12/31/10 12pm @ 12th Street Gym

Shoulders are pretty sore and tight but felt better as I moved around.

5x5 tuck jumps for height (no way to measure, really, but these were fun and got my blood moving)

2K row
9:05

*Couldn't see my pace, I didn't set the display correctly.

*Breath was not the issue, muscular endurance was. This is both good (that I wasn't dying of lack of breathing) and bad (that my muscles want to stop after 1K).

*Damper was at 8 but it still felt like I wasn't getting much distance per stroke, like I wasn't getting enough resistance from the damper? The 12th Street rowers suck. Taping your feet to the rower is also a little claustrophobic. haha.

*Followed by max time side/front/side plank [15sec on left, hah, 1:30 front, 35? on right]. My arms and hands were burning really painfully. Blood rushing back? Lactic acid that I ignored then became aware of after I collapsed to the floor after?

*That's what I get for taking a month off and then doing this my 3rd day on. I don't know why I am annoyed by this more than anything else that has dropped after time away. Damn it all. NEVER AGAIN. Sub-8:00 row, you are my ***** in 2011.

Wow, been awhile. 

Short on time for food shopping this week so I'm playing "clean out the fridge/freezer"

Skipped breakfast except for coffee. Bleh.

Lunch - 2 hardboiled eggs w/ salt, 1/2 sweet potato with butter and cinnamon. This tasted so delicious.

Dinner - Weird. 1.5 sausages that I pulled out of the freezer. They're from the butcher, no Jimmy Dean crap, but I have no idea what kind they are. Heated them up on the stove and put some homemade marinara over them (also out of the freezer). Annnd may or may not have eaten an entire pound of brussels sprouts, but still felt REALLY hungry after this. Not enough fat in this meal. Just now I ate about 2/3 cup of frozen blueberries with 2-3 tbsp coconut flakes (unsweetened) over them. Jesus, must grocery shop.
