Today’s Workout: Urgh…

Ah, the most wonderful time of the month where I’m consistently tired and everything hurts for no frikkin reason. I probably won’t be running much more since my hips hurt but I’m still going to try and be as active as possible.

I prepped a nice salad for myself for lunch but dinner was chaotic. My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach as I only ate half of that pasta and gave the rest to my kid; who inexplicably refused to eat their leftover pizza in favor of taking my food. My mom used to say that food always tastes better from your parent’s plate and I guess that old saying is true.

Today’s Workout: Ultrahuman HIIT Day 2

wp-1699491247810

Finding motivation to workout has been hard since life is really stressing me out right now but not doing my workouts would be even more stressful. These are pretty short, too, and don’t require a bunch of set up.

I forgot to bring my noodles with my lunch today which isn’t a terrible thing. The plain noodles aren’t the healthiest food in the world. For dinner, I had a nice salad. Something about the heavy meat and veggies for lunch makes me crave a salad for dinner.

Overall, it’s not as active of a day as getting up early to run but I still feel like it was a success. The ginger was a nice punch to the vegetables and the missing noodles made sure I didn’t feel overstuffed while I’m on the Saxenda. It’s been awhile since I weighed myself but I’ll get to that. I’m in no hurry to do that.

Today’s Workouts: Pushing it

I wanted to get in a run at least once this week and keep on the schedule in the Ultrahuman app for this three week challenge. My arms are still sore from the first day (I can’t tell you how much pushups annoy me. They’re almost as bad as burpees) but I committed to this so I’m doing it.

For lunch I had time to prep the Itaki food and I’m still working on all those delicious chicken wings. I put them in the oven to crisp up while I was on the treadmill and by the time I was showered, they were perfect. I probably should have had some veggies with them but I had some editing to do and wanted to get to it before my brain turned off.

As for the Ultrahuman app, apparently I need the app on my watch as well and my watch is not supported yet. I’ll keep checking but I’ll have to rely on GoogleFit for insights for now. I was hoping for more feedback on when I eat and how it affects my workouts but we’ll see.

Today’s Workout: Gadgets

wp-1680656987578

I have the Ultrahuman ring and the app comes with workouts I’ve been meaning to try. Unlike waaaaay back when I had the Atlas Shape band and app (I have a thing for gadgets. It’s a weakness.), it doesn’t seem like the app/ring automatically tracks the workouts when I do them. This is day 1 of the 3-week HIIT Challenge. I haven’t done pushups in a long time (full disclosure: I do wall pushups, not floor) and I know I’m gonna feel this in the morning…

This was my dinner for the day because I forgot to bring it in for lunch and ended up going out to buy food. The gyro place by my job is still pretty affordable and since I don’t get feta or white sauce on it, the calories are a lot less. Those wings are gonna be a regular appearance this week since I made so much of them. I’m gonna try to have a side salad with them or something to balance out having fried food. But I’m not gonna waste them. I went out and bought buttermilk (at fucking full price, not on sale) especially to marinate all these things and spent a long time over a boiling pot of oil to cook them. I’m not gonna let them go to waste.
