Fat Loss II - B4

By the time I finished this I wasn’t fit to post it. Although it was technically cooler out when I started, the humidity was higher. Masochist that I am though, I still did the cardio outside. I did a 5-min cardio warm-up outside, followed by a few inside warm-ups, then did:

A1: Snatch-grip Deadlift - 80t/10, 80t/10, 80t/10
A2: Push-ups (regular, not T) - 10, 10, 10
B1: Bulgarian Split Squat with Overhead Press - 5e/10, 5e/10, 5e/10
B2: Assisted Chin-up - 10, 10, 10
C1: Romanian Deadlift / Bent-over Row - 80t/10, 80t/10, 80t/10
C2: Lower Body Russian Twist - 10, 10, 10

Then warm-up, 4 rounds intervals (1m high, 2m moderate) and cool-down.

60 mins, 427 cals, Max HR: 173 (98%), Avg HR: 130 (73%)

I continue to struggle with the Split Squats and the Russian Twist. I haven’t looked forward to see what comes next, but I know I’m hoping to drop the split squats.

I walked this morning, and managed to get a workout in before lunch. Then the rain came… it poured out. I should have left the workout until later in the day as the oppressive heat is gone. This pretty much describes how I felt this afternoon:

If anyone is interested, the recipe is up for the meatloaf –> Sun-Dried Tomato Meatloaf

It was one of those run around mornings, which suck up more of your day than you plan. Still, the day was lovely even thought it was hot. The evening was nice enough again that we ate dinner outside. Tomorrow they’re calling for rain / thundershowers / possibly hail… so I’m glad we got a few nice days in a row. The pool temperature is slowly creeping up (86F today) to the point where it’s not quite refreshing. However, with a smidge of a cooler spell coming it should be okay. I’d love a summer where it’s warm enough that we could take the solar blanket off for a month or two and store it in the garage. We’ll see.
