Just. Don't. Suck (Part 1)

I mostly meant walking outside :slight_smile:

Edit: Doh, I think that’s what you meant.

Yeah, the old treadmill isn’t exactly a mental oasis. I’ve been watching Paul’s podcasts, though. I could go outside but I’m working downtown. It’s where all the charities are located so it’s bum central. I don’t want to walk around with those idiots.

Woke at 209.6 lbs even though I failed to stay low carb yesterday. I did great at work. I ate beef roast and veggies for lunch #1 and chicken and veggies for lunch #2. It turns out that lunch #2 was only around 300 calories and left me starving. I got home and ate two chicken wraps, a piece of cake, and two cookies for dinner.

My wife ate all the veggies yesterday so I’ll be eating potatoes if I want a side today. It’s the end of our budgeting month and we’re running low on some things. Big trip to the store will be Thursday.

I think I’m going to walk to the library to get a new Tom Clancy book (1.8 mile round trip) and then do day B1 of my new program.

RFESS and SA? What do those stand for?

RFESS - Rear Foot Elevated Split Squats

SA - Single Arm

Actually, SA basically means left arm only right now.

Thanks! Now off to google split squats :joy:

I just realized that I wasn’t supposed to do RFESS today. Dang it.

It’s also referred to as Bulgarian split squat

@Frank_C great workout even though you weren’t supposed to do RFESS.

I saw something that pointed out that they are not in any way related to Bulgarian training so I stopped calling them that. I’m weird and get caught up on technicalities like that.

Woke at 210.4 lbs. I expected an increase because I ate a lot last night. Today is the start of our financial month and we’re due for a big trip to the store. I’ve been out of veggies for a few days and finished off the chicken yesterday.

The Bulgarians Really did step ups.

Woke at 209.2 lbs.

I didn’t do anything specific to exercise yesterday, but I think I got a decent amount of steps in anyway. We took the kids to an event a church that had games, face painting, and inflatables. It was fun but I was worn out. I didn’t have a lot of down time yesterday. I had to meet my tenant at my good rental at 9pm to settle up. He’s officially moving out tomorrow morning. My next tenants are moving in on July 2nd which is awesome but it also means I don’t have much time to complete the minor repairs.

Today will be a nice push workout from my new split. It’s day A2. I get to do RFESS again.

Woke at 211.4 lbs thanks to a day of bad eating. My new position is in an office and I got to experience the difference between that and patrol yesterday. There was a baby shower for the other officer on light duty so I ate cake and chex mix.

I had this great plan to lift right before the party but I had to go pick up something from our training academy and it took forever. I thought I’d lift after the party but I was informed that I had work to do and I’m racing the clock. I couldn’t risk not getting it done so I skipped the workout.

I would typically just do cardio today but I’ll be lifting instead. It’s not a big deal in terms of my programming but I wish I could’ve put that sugar to good use yesterday.

These sucked and I’d be lying if I said I went to failure. I went to fatigue but I could’ve kept grinding.

I forgot to unnecessarily announce that I bought a new meal prep bag. I learned that 6 Pack Fitness made a bigger bag so I began to search for it. Well, it turns out that they stopped making it. It’s called the Voyager.

During my search I found some new brands. Isolator Fitness has a nice video comparing the Voyager to their Isopak. I found a special on their site for $160 and my wife told me to buy it for Father’s Day. Here’s my prize:

Consequently, my 6 Pack Expedition 500 is for sale.
