Day 24 - Cardio & BBQs


Great cardio workout. My weekend workouts are turning out the best, for some reason - my trainer said that noon - 2pm are the most ideal times to workout, and today I did 45min of cardio on a pretty high difficulty setting, and blew through it no problem. Compared to last time, when I had to convince myself not to quit every ten minutes, literally. And then I was on resistance 5, today I did resistance 12 intervaled with 15, and jacked it up to 18 then 20 for my last couple of minutes.
I don't understand the heart-rate monitor. 25 minutes through the workout, it said I had a heartrate of 96. That can't be right. I'll have to ask someone about that.
Eating was basically one long meal - went to a BBQ at one, and nibbled until 5. Didn't really eat much after that, except for some grapes & peanuts, and I got a street dog at 9pm or so. Nothing - and I mean, nothing - is better than a hot dog from the little vendors in DT Albuquerque. I don't understand it, the hotdogs are nothing special, but that melted cheese, & onions, wow, just makes life complete somehow.
I went to a Third Eye Blind concert at about 8:30, and started drinking. Nothing crazy, but steady drinking until 2pm. I figure about about 500 calories of booze. I don't know, though, about the drinking thing - I have some really built friends, and they drink more than anyone I know. One of my friends was at his best, as far as being buff, during his 50 day drinking spree a couple years ago. Guess it just takes lots more workout time.
Oh, and got a new fancy scale that tells body fat & hydration. Took a baseline an hour after working out yesterday, and it gave me a 19.5% body fat with 56% hydration. That's a little depressing - I thought I started with a 14.5% body fat. More workout time.
