It's like that part of Blink where Gladwell talks about the food industry scheming find and meet the root flavors or styles of spaghetti sauce. I can't decide if that type of corporate-scale food manipulation is evil or just good business.
Fuck planks. Seriously, it's the only exercise that causes me to just yell out a string of expletives and scare all my animals.
I guess you haven't done squat pulses
Or "Drive The Race Car"
Or "SCRUB"
I don't know what any of those things are. I do know that I don't want no scrubs.
I hate planks because I'm long and all my weight is in the middle and my cat has a death wish.
Normal squats are where you...well...squat down then come back up. Squat pulses are where you stay squatting, then lift a little, then return to a deep squat, kind of like you're hopping, but never leaving the squat position and not lifting off the floor
The last two were boot camp "exercises": Driving the race car is achieved by sitting into a squat, knees at 90 degrees, back flat against a wall. You're given a circular plate weight and you hold it in front of you, arms straight, like you're holding a steering wheel. You don't put the weight down until you're told to.
Scrubbing is easily the worst, though. You need a completely flat floor, a towel ("hand" or "dish" size), and you hold one end of the towel in each hand. Then you lean forward and place your hands on the floor, so you're pressing the towel down, and you propel yourself around with your legs, as fast as possible. To make it worse, you can put on three layers of clothes including sweats and waterproof coat and pants, and go in the shower room, and turn on all of the hot water faucets, and go in endless circles around the outside walls until you're told to stop.
On the plus side, you will lose about 20 pounds (at least!) in three months after performing these exercises regularly.
In unrelated news, man I really like Syntha-6 Vanilla Ice Cream protein powder. That stuff is pretty delicious. Plus since I've been doing protein shakes with breakfast, I haven't been hungry again before lunch, nor have I been feeling as sore for as long following workouts.

I do feel like it recommends a lot of powder though. I'm hoping it'll be a little better once we have the blender cups. I'm not a huge fan of all the chunks of powder in my glass.
Which is funny, because according to their math we're using about twice the recommended amount of milk per shake: I've been putting one rounded scoop of protein into a pint glass and then filling to the top with milk, which is about 8 oz or so. The container recommends 4-5.
It was awful. I was subject to that particular exercise because I sat down at the end of my watch shift that morning. Then the scrubbing came after that. And some planks. And some foot locker exercises. And this was while everyone else was sent to chow, so there wasn't even the reprieve of the mandatory meal time.

I've been letting myself eat like garbage for a few days because of a volley of midterms and papers, but I'm back on the fitness and weight loss bandwagon again starting this weekend.
For me it usually hits halfway through a workout or right after

I'm not sure if it's cause my diet change or my new medicine (which has a noted side effect of hunger loss) but I feel like I'm almost never hungry now. I actually have to push myself to eat.

Decided to skip the ab workout because I realized I could actually run in the setting sunlight if I booked it out the door right then. It was the first evening this year that I didn't need my headlamp.

That's pretty understandable. It is really difficult to eat well during exams and major papers.
Especially since I would usually be pulling all nighters to finish all major assignments.

so, skipped the gym AND dinner last night because I was way too exhausted to trust myself to drive to the gym, let alone the drive back home after a workout.
Instead, I went and laid down in bed, just to rest a bit. and then woke up this morning, about 12 hours later.

Yeah, a couple times this week I left my house at about 8am and got back after midnight. Granted, this only excuses the fact that I couldn't prepare all my food for myself, it doesn't really explain why I ate a bunch of fast food and candy. Still though, not gonna worry about it much, got to the gym today, gonna go for a run tomorrow and start tracking my food again.
Every time I put on my gym clothes I have to take a shit.
It's like Pavlov's butt hole.
This is me and trying to leave to cycle to work. All togged up in cycling gear then I have to strip it all off to poo and then all back on again. And sometimes it's a sneaky bumhole and I have to repeat the whole process.
It's a wonder I'm not late to work more often really.
But I'm not cycling 16 miles needing to go, that's rubbish.

I lived in the dorms all through undergrad and graduate school so there wasn't really a kitchen at my disposal. The worst is that I had some other friends in a similar state on campus and we would walk to 7-11 around midnight and grab a bunch of snacks and energy drinks.

I need to go back on aderall, that shit wipes out my appetite

It was...not the best diet.
At this point I think I would just outright refuse to live anywhere that didn't have a kitchen.
Also, I just bought some liquid chalk on amazon (this stuff) to use at the gym and now amazon thinks I am a pole dancer.

Haha, I used to use pole dancing grip powder because the shineyland gym hated me and hated chalk. As I recall, it was really quite effective and was an interesting talking point.
Snowboarding holiday ended today - I have boarded hard on 28 of the past 31 days. In terms of technical ability, I have improved by a crazy amount. Went from barely getting down a hill to bombing the cliffs, flying through trees, jumps, grabs, boxes, rails. I don't think I've ever improved so quickly at anything in my life (although not surprising, considering we were averaging about 5-6 hours a day on the slopes). Today was the final day of riding so we went from first chair at 8.30am to chair close at 3.30pm.
The final damage count was a pulled sartorius, a sprained shoulder and a mild concussion (all done on different days). I've also done a dozen or so sessions at the hotel gym and have nearly got my pistol squats looking passable.
Shuttle leaves at 10am tomorrow morning - onwards to London!
