Exercise Update

So, I didn't post last week, and now of course, I no longer remember any details....

I know I did pullups, and that was fun... oh well, that's what I get. Here's pic from 02/21:

And pics from tonight:
  
  

On Sunday, I did Nerd Fitness Sprints. I'm sure someone thought I was weird for running around the park randomly, caroming off trees, but it worked for me. I also did 2x2 alternate-handed pullups long some tree branches.

I'm doing the  Nerd Fitness 28 Day Challenge, as is Kristi. Although in general, I think only monthly picture updates is more fruitful.

Goals for March 1 through March 28:

Diet: get strict about my Primal/Paleo diet. No more refined sugar, no grains at all, no potatoes. (Potatoes are easy to give up, they're bland anyway).
Fitness:
M,W,F: Pushups. One of my 2010 goals in 25 pushups by my birthday (03/24), then completing the 100 pushup challenge. This takes up my full evening workout time allotment.
T,H: Sprints/Bodyweight. Ideally one of each, but it depends on the weather, and what I feel like doing.
S,S: Play, Walk, Rest. following MDA's guidelines.

Numbers:
Body Fat %: 18.5mm; 19%
Waist at belly button: 41.5 in
Waist at pants: 39.5 in
Right Thigh (at crotch, relaxed, propped up): 27.75 in
Right bicep (relaxed, hanging loose): 13 in
Chest Circumference (relaxed, exhaled): 43 in
Weight: 220.5 lbs this morning.

Day 1:
Breakfast: Bacon & Egg Burrito (before I started the challenge).
Lunch: Quizno's Black & Bleu Salad, Large, with Large extra meat. Delicious, and Primal as near as I can determine.
Afternoon Snack: Raw Pistachios. Totalled 14 for the day. Munch on them while driving.
Dinner: Mexi-loaf. Threw together a meatloaf, with Almond Meal instead of braedcrumbs. Used some leftover jicama, and fire-roasted tomato salsa in it, and green enchilada sauce on it, just cuz that's what I had around
Evening Snack: Managed to avoid the Girl Scout Cookies; ate Cocoa & Coconut Snacks instead. They're really very filling; 2 was more than enough for the evening. I made mine about ping-pong ball-sized.

Workout: 100 Pushup Challenge, week 2, day 1.

Day 2:
Breakfast: Cocoa Coconut Snacks (x4).
Lunch: Meatloaf leftovers from last night.
Afternoon Snack: Raw (unsalted) Pistachios (x14).
Post-Workout: MLO Whey & Egg Protein (2tbsp), Blue Diamond Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (10oz).
Dinner: Leftover Paleo Teriyaki Pork. Bacon (x5).

Circuit 1: 05:40:32 - removed dog from room halfway through
Circuit 2: 05:11:32
