The three day gap

On Thursday, I knew there would come a three day gap in my regime. And it did. And I didn't work out for three whole days. In my head, I was wishing that though I would not work out for three days, I would make up for it, by eating with discipline in that time. But I had done exactly the opposite of that. I ate like a horse!

When I did think of working out on Monday, I felt terribly lazy. Note: Eating badly makes you not-feel-like-working out, you need good kind and right amount of fuel to feel energetic enough to want to work out. So I was  feeling veryyyy lazy and sluggish about it.

But what did I do? Here, the fact that my workout is not a workout, but a small workout saved the day. I told myself, it's only 55 push-ups and 55 squats, so why not? And that's what I aimed at doing. And guess what? I ended up outperforming myself in the rope jumping I threw in between the sets :D

This is how it went:
1 squat, 10 push ups, 100 rope jumps
2 squat, 9 lateral raises, 100 rope jumps
...
10 squat, 1 lateral raises, 100 rope jumps
That's right. It was 100 in every set. Sometimes I would get too tired, and I would do it into three sets, like 30, 30, 40, but I still did 100 in every set. A total of 1, 000 Jumps! Take that, belly fat!

By this time, my 30 minutes were over, I was feeling a bit tired out too. So I thought I would call it a day, and not go for circuits, so I just did
20 hammer curls
20 military press
to end the session. And that was it. What will I do tonight? I don't know. It will be something very same. Except that tonight, I am planning to buy a weighing machine too :) Let's see how that goes. It's about time I start keeping a record.

I am thinking of starting a food journal too. Though I understand how tough it will be for to keep record of all the stuff I eat, but well, If I am looking at making small changes that can be easily incorporated into my eating habits, first I have to analyse the data and find out where I could fit those in. For that I need the data!

I guess I will start within this week sometime. Tomorrow? Depends on how much work I have. Maybe tonight. Maybe not, I am both busy and sleepy today.

On my other blog, I will probably write about where I went for the three days, and how it went. That would be fun. I hope.

Any suggestions on what I should change in my workout? Or should I just keep it as it is?
