A few weeks ago, I started attempting to jump in sets of 200. Maybe once or twice a day, I'd get in a good set with hardly a hitch. I divide everything into fractions and percentages, so having a number of jumps that's a reasonable fraction (one seventh instead of one 14th, say) helps me move through the workout with good cheer. Often I could go just over 100 or 125 in between trips. These last couple of days? Many perfect or near-perfect sets of 200. Which means it's time to move up to 250.
Also, I kinda like elevated triceps dips. Hunh.
What I don't like is evening veg. I'd come to grips with breakfast veg by sometimes using dinner leftovers mixed with unflavored oatmeal, and most often chowing on carrots. It seems like a cop-out to make evening veg also the sweet, easy carrot. So there's been raw broccoli (ugh), cooked broccoli, spinach and mushrooms, and raw bell peppers. Tonight I got home late and hungry and did give in to the lure of the carrot. I miss you, nighttime mango, plum, pineapple, kiwi, grapes, peach, etc. Please come back soon.
Getting stronger, more coordinated, and learning the tricks of eating well. Badass.
ReplyDeleteI also miss evening fruit. A LOT. AWESOME job on the jumps -- I got up to 200 and then downgraded. Moving my way back up again. I just saw that next week will be sets of 2 minutes -- will be interested to turn that into a number.. (nat)
