- rode bike for 15 minutes keeping within an rpm of the 50s and then pushing up to 70 rpm for almost 2 minutes.
- 5 rounds of 30 biceps lifts (each arm). All lifting this time was using the bag method, because my muscles were still aching a bit from the day before.
- 1 round of 10 triceps in 'wing' (out to the side) formation and 10 lifting backwards. I went really slow this time though, in an attempt to lessen the 'popping' in my shoulder but they still popped after only a couple lifts. I don't know if it's because I'm lifting wrong or that I really do have weird joints, or if that really is normal...?
- 1 round of 15 lifts (each arm, as usual) from behind my head, like in a motion that one would make if they were scratching their back with a stick.
- 40 traditional crunches; 20 traditional w/laced hands; 20 (specifically, each ^v up-down of one leg counts as 1) G.I. Jane style with hands laced and upper torso off the ground; 20 G.I. Jane style with torso flat on the floor; 50 staircase style (each 'step' counts as 1, same as how you would count the number of steps that your feet touched when climbing stairs).
My mom also found a new kind of food called quinoa (keen-wah) that has even more protein than tofu and is supposedly without the side affects that soy products can cause. And it's actually quite tasty! It's a great replacement for rice and other starchy items too, it's the seed of a plant and apparently isn't a starch.
I've been trying to resist the Goldfish crackers but my mom just made a batch of a sweet chex mix, it's heavenly and can find loopholes in your diet. It's not good. But I'm trying to control my portions when I do have any of the mix.
Some food I had over the weekend...
