December 5th, 2009 Workout – Cardio
Did a ton of running around today, but I still managed to fit in some cardio. Did 40 minutes on the recumbant bike – most of it on the second resistance level instead of just the first one like I’ve previously done. It was definitely a lot tougher, but I finished it off.
I’ve really gotten back in the habit of cooking big healthy meals again. It takes longer up front, but then I’m covered for at least a couple of days. If I have something healthy and ready to eat, it eliminates the excuse of grabbing some fast food. It’s impossible to do this on will power alone, so if I keep myself from having to resort to that very often then I’ll do much better.
November 18th, 2009 Workout – Cardio
Working on my endurance – so part of my routine is cardio. I got my old recumbant bike setup in my room and I did 30 minutes at difficulty 2 at an average speed of 24 (not sure what exactly, probably km/hr?) I’m going to track this so that I always keep increasing these amounts. Next time I ride the bike, I’ll do 35 minutes.
The side handles on the bike have been broken forever and I never got arund to getting them fixed. Today I finally went out and found bolts that were roughly the same size and got the handles fixed up.
Afterward I made up a giant pot of arhar dal (lentils) and a bunch of chicken breasts. I love lentils… yet I haven’t made them in months! They’re an excellent side dish – high in protein and fibre and they cost pennies per serving. Going to make them more often for sure.
