<p>The mountain climber knee drive holds are good exercise even putting your hands on a solid object like a weight bench or a solid chair or a kitchen counter.</p>

<p>I used iPod nazi’s four exercise circuit as the core section of my workout today. I only did two sets because, honestly, three sets is just too much on top of the warm up stuff, the power stuff (DB snatches and med ball), the weight lifting stuff. Two sets of those four exercises is pretty good core workout, but I was a little better at them today than I was on Saturday.</p>
<p>4 miles, 9:14 pace. Now I need to cook two pounds of chicken for the rest of the week. Not sure what I’m going mix it with but I should get the cooking done today.</p>
<p>Turn it into a stir-fry, with lots of veggies and a little sauce, over rice. Or turn it into chicken salad, with celery and apple and a bit of mayo. Or cover it with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese (with a bit of Parmesan) and call it chicken parm. </p>
<p>Whatever you do with it, enjoy!</p>
<p>And congratulations on the long run with a good pace.</p>
<p>I have a small tub of Trader Joes Green Curry Vegetables and some beef chili. I was thinking of taking one cup of each and mixing with 1/2 pound of chicken - that would make four lunches.</p>
<p>I put 1.25 pounds in a skillet with some olive oil and water and have it on low flame. Will leave it for another 15 minutes and it should be thoroughly cooked. I suppose I should cook the rest too but we’ll see how late I work tonight. The later I work, the more time for cooking. I’m hoping to have the time to mix the chicken with other stuff so that everything is ready when I go out the door in the morning.</p>
I sautee my boneless chicken breast in a little olive oil, garlic and either salt/pepper or chili powder.
I use half for chicken caesar salad one night. And, the other half for chicken fajitas (with no tortillia) stir fried with peppers onion, some salsa, and stopped with melted cheese.
<p>I cooked it, split it in two and added it to a cup of green curry each and that’s lunch for tomorrow and the day after. I didn’t have the chili - someone took it. I guess I’ll have to do something else for Thursday and Friday. Going low carb this week and 500 calories under.</p>
<p>I haven’t been in diet mode for a while so I’m going back to it this week and maybe for a few more if my schedule isn’t too tough.</p>
Crazy day… just getting caught up on your info - always good.
Have to run 3, do Concessions at DS Vball game, they are taking ACT @ school today.
First time for many Juniors, seems late to me. Oh, & then there’s work
<p>Taking today off. Postponing Tuesday’s workout until Wednesday. I’ve been cleaning to make my realtor’s dreams come true: “Make the house sparkle!” That’s enough of a workout.</p>
<p>Did 3 hard intervals to 90% heart rate. Increased my average pedal cadence from 71 rpm the last time I did these to 74 rpm, which is pedaling the thing pretty hard. Lasted 1:31 for the first interval (and was just barely hanging on). The first interval is the toughest because it takes the longest to get to 90%.</p>
<p>Next two intervals were 55 seconds and 53 seconds. That was plenty.</p>
<p>Eighteen minutes start to finish. I’ve been trying to shorten these Airdyne sessions up a little bit. Honestly, 18 minutes is enough with these intervals.</p>
<p>5 miles, 9:13 pace. Felt beat afterwards. Just sat down for five minutes and dripped all over the chair. I don’t feel like doing weights right now - maybe later on. Over four miles and weights get a lot harder to do.</p>
<p>^I avoided reading that article today… totally gross and super-sized scary.</p>
<p>To me this story could be GOOD news, akin to “jumping the shark”- maybe this obesity lifestyle bubble is about to burst!!! It may have maxed out here, peaked, so to speak.</p>
I don’t mind the Heart Attack Grill anywhere near as much as the current Honey Nut Cheerios TV ads pitching the sugar coated cereal as health food and “good for your hear”. It’s hard to imagine any food that is less “healthy” than sweetened sugar.
Probably has something to do with he fact that Honey Nut Cheerios were my go-to cereal snack!
<p>Got some weights in this morning. I had breakfast today. I can’t do running and weights on 1200 calories/day for more than a few days in a row. Bumping it up to 1,500 calories today and tomorrow and 2,000 on Friday for tennis.</p>
<p>I did a half-weights routine at home this morning and also weighed the dumbbell handles. To my surprise, the Weider dumbbell handles weighed just under 5 pounds and the WalMart handles weight a tad less (1/4 ounce) under 3 pounds. I was assuming that both were 2.5 pounds. I knew that they were both actually heavier because I use fixed dumbbells at my gyms. It’s nice to know the real weight.</p>
