Food & Exercise -- 2/4/2004

Food:

6:30 (driving to gym): energy bar

8:15 (diner, post-workout): 2 poached eggs, 1 1/3 slices whole wheat
toast (no butter), 8 oz. orange juice


Totals:

7:00 a.m. -- Workout:

10 minutes treadmill walking, while waiting for Tom to arrive

jog once around perimeter of the double basketball court (two courts
with long sides adjacent -- around 10-15 feet in between the two)

High knee run 1 court length, butt kick 1 length, high skips 1 length,
walk kicking foot up to opposite outstretched hand 1 length

5 * sprint 1 court length

2 * sprint around perimeter of the double court, timed -- Did the
first one in 27 seconds and the second in 26.

Compound exercises:
a) Sprint from center sideline (under basket) to free-throw line,
pivot and sprint back to starting point, pivot and sprint to center
line, pivot and sprint back, pivot and sprint to opposite side
free-throw line, pivot and sprint back, pivot and sprint to opposite
sideline under basket, pivot and sprint back

b) Same as above, except at each of the four lines where I pivot and
come back, first drop and do 3 pushups

c) Same as above, except do 3 pushups at first line, 5 crunches at
second, 3 pushups at third, 5 crunches at fourth

d) Same as above, except do 3 pushups at first line, 10 bodyweight
squats at second, 3 pushups at third, 5 lunches on each foot at fourth

Zig-zag runs:
3 * (starting at corner of court, run to opposite side center line
-- a diagonal halfway across the court, pivot and run to far corner on
the diagonal, pivot and come back the same way)

This wore me out :-).

Liver....BLEEECH!!!! :-P (Yeah, I know! Has lots of iron and I do
occasionally eat liver, but the only way to get me to eat it requires
my screwing my calories/fat intake. (i.e. grilled onions)

I think I'm gonna be good today, I'm at 1236 calories today so far
and I think that's about where I'm gonna stop for today. Too bad
my carbs are bad (it's at 50%). Protein at 26% and Fat at 25%.
(I probably should eat some meat, huh?) :-P

Cheers,

I love liver, but I wouldn't eat calves liver just as I don't eat veal
(too cruel). I also worry a bit nowadays about the residues of drugs
etc. in animals' liver, but I would still eat organic.
Even having it at school with tubes running through it, and having to
eat it weekly on the old WW programme hasn't quite killed my taste for
it.

I love liver and onions. I seldom cooked it when all the kids were living
at home as it was the one meat they didn't like. A neighbor and I used to
go to a local restaurant when we knew they were serving it because her
family felt the same way about liver.

Hmmm - this might be something else I can start cooking at homeg

my carbs are bad (it's at 50%). Protein at 26% and Fat at 25%.

For me, calories totals in the 1200s are pretty low. My goal is
generally 1500, but right now (a) I'm sick -- cold I can't get rid of,
and (b) I'm trying to be sure I make weight at a lifting meet this
Sunday.

I don't think 50% carbs is terrible, but I personally try to get more
protein than you're getting.
