Today was a mixed bag kind of day.  Walked on my own this morning, did a little outside, made a big pot of chili, worked out in the afternoon, had a swim.  Nothing particularly interesting, but it was kind of a low energy day.  I’ve got ten portions of chili in the freezer, and we’ll have some tomorrow for dinner.  It’s an attempt to mix TVP with ground beef instead of turkey.  Just for fun, no specific reason.  Tomorrow morning we’ll do the walking down by the lakeshore.

NROL - Break-in B3

I did a 5-min cardio warm-up outside, followed by 10 reps each of the prescribed warm-up (except for the t-push-ups - can’t do them). Then I did:

A: Deadlift - 70t/15, 70/15
B1: Step-up - 15e/15, 15e/15
B2: Dumbbell one-arm shoulder press - 20e/15, 22e/15
C1: Chin-up (assisted/attempts) - 15, 15
C2: Reverse Crunch - 20, 20

Then I did the metabolic overdrive intervals - 3, with 5-min warm up and cool down. (19 mins total)

53 mins, 369 cals, Max HR: 167 (94%), Avg HR: 125 (71%)

Ugh, I could have easily skipped this workout. Not sure why, but by the time the early afternoon rolled around I could have just had a nap instead of a workout. However, in the end I managed to eek it out, but probably with not as much enthusiasm as I would have liked.
