Workout Log 218 - Doin the Pimp Limp.

So as you probably know (from yesterday's ball hockey incident), I now have an ankle problem and a limp to go with it.

For the whole day, my foot was aching in pain and at the 1st opportunity of getting home, I took my work colleagues advice and used "RICE" to repair myself. Not the starchy rice that your probably thinkin' of, but R.I.C.E - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. ;)

I did have a plan to go to the gym and just use the machines and bench (thus avoiding any use of my feet), but thought it was best (and smart)  just to stay in and get some much needed rest so my aching ankle can heal faster. The faster it heals, the faster I can get back in the gym with full force. So I popped 2 Ibprophen, placed some "Deep ICE" on my black/blue sprained ankle, compressed it with a tight ankle brace and elevated it. Overall, I have to say thank-you colleague....It's working!! =)

So, I got plenty of sleep today with all meals within my caloric intake and looking forward to tomorrow. I still have slight limp, but I should be ok for some weight training tomorrow....

Workout Log 217 - 'Ball' Hockey Night in Canada

Good News, Bad News....I think I'll give the good news 1st. The good news is that instead of toiling for 35 min on a cycle or treadmill for my scheduled cardio, I spent the evening playing ball hockey with a few buds at our local recreation center.

Overall good times...I think I may have burned at least a gazillion calories...at least... ;-) With all the sprinting back and forth for close to 2 hours with no subs and very limited breaks - I was seriously winded! I think it's been a year since I last played and I have noticed a huge improvement  in my speed as well as endurance. I definitely gave the opposing team a workout, hehehe...Too bad I only had 1 goal though. oh well..

So the bad news...I sprained my ankle half way through the game, but played the rest of the game(it would only hurt when I rested, so I just kept on running). Seriously, this really sucks!!...My ankle is now swollen like a ball, and it's pretty difficult to walk right now. So ya, I've got a limp... =) I know I'll recover soon, but my main concern is my workout's for the week. Will I be able to complete the week? I am definitely not letting this injury get in my way of my main goal! This is just a speed bump. With February and March reaching closer and closer, I know I'll be hitting a beach very soon and want to be really lean/cut by the time I reach there.

So I've already looked over this weeks weight training exercises and have tweaked it a bit so I'm not using my foot at all. All exercises will work the same body parts that is scheduled, but will be using a bench instead of standing. Calf exercises will have to wait till next week. As for Sunday's cardio, I'll have to play it by ear. Worst case scenario, is that I may have to use the a$$ killing cycle. But, we'll see.... ;-)

Workout Log 216 - Morning Sickness

Not to sure what I ate the day before, but it definitely got me sick to the stomach for pretty much 1/2 the day. I started feeling a lot better later in the afternoon and was happy to get the workout out of the way. Not too sure what was in me to get my adrenaline going to get in the gym, but happy to report that I came though.. =)

So today I worked on chest, triceps, calves and back. Mostly compound exercises though. With feeling sick and all, I got plenty of sleep but as for eating I had no choice but to miss a couple of meals. I mean, I was dying right? ;-)

Tomorrow is 35 cardio. Seeing that I've been forced to use the stationary bike for the past few cardio sessions (and killing my a$$ from the seat), I think I'll make an effort and get in there a little early so maybe I could get a treadmill. We'll see...

Workout Log 215 - Week 29 in Review

Looking back at the week, I missed a couple of days in the gym and my calorie intake couple be better. My stats shown below reflect not much change from the previous week and a very slight increase in body fat - even-though I lost 1.5 pounds. In order for me to push forward to reach my goal, my waist line needs to decrease.

Looking forward to this week I need to really focus on my calorie intake with less fatty foods, less alcohol and more importantly stick with only 1 reward meal for the week. As for workouts, I know I can do better.

So today I started off with 30 min cardio and 15 min doing push ups and chinups. I'll get back to the RTP plan tomorrow with whatever is scheduled for that particular day. Lookin' forward to it. =)

Workout Log 214 - The Hangover 2

 Is that a train going by? Or is that my head pounding? Ya, rough start this morning with a headache the size of Europe. Needless to say I didn't feel like doing anything today.

So with that being said, I slept well, missed a couple of meals and went out for brunch/breakfast and ordered a nice greasy meal to go along with the hangover. If you're going to go down, you might as well go down in flames, right? Hehehehe... ;-)


Tomorrow I have scheduled upper body weight training and abs or may make up today with cardio. I'll see....

Workout Log 213 - House Party

With today as rest day, no workout scheduled for today. Today is also reward meal day, so I took advantage of it by hittin up to a house party and eating anything from pizza, sausages and little but of chips. Lets not forget the amount of booze that was consumed where I knocked back a 6 pack of Steam Whistle and 3 tall boys....I know, I know I'm a light weight these days... ;-)

 Tomorrow is back in the gym to complete 20 min HIIT cardio. Lookin' forward to it. =)

Workout Log 212 - Back on Track (again)

With yesterday as a total train wreck, I was able to get back on track with a 45 min workout and keeping healthy overall. With it being Friday and all, I still like to have a beer or 2, so I decided to make a little sacrifice and have a light beer opposed to my favorite, Steam Whistle.

Tomorrow is a day off from everything, so no workout and pretty much can eat and drink what I want. I have a party to go to the evening, so it look's look'n pretty good that I'll be boozin it up and eating bar style food(wings, finger foods and etc.). Lookin' forward to it. =)
