Speed Poll!

Since two people have mentioned that the blog is running slowly after the upgrade, I’ve disabled the fancy Jakarta theme for now and am running the blog with a more streamlined, no frills theme. If you have a dial up or other slower connection, could you please comment and let me know if your load time was unusually slow?

Thanks!

SGX Journal C4W7D2 (The Calves Are Mooing)

Thoughts: You know, I knew that the plyo workout was going to hurt me the next day, and I must tell you, I was perfectly correct.

I woke up this morning with both calves completely stiff and sore from all of the jumping I did yesterday morning. No heels for me today, that’s for sure. I’m wearing flats until the backs of my legs are stretched out properly again.

All things considered, I probably shouldn’t have skipped the planned yoga workout last night.

It’s been a while since I’ve felt challenged, though, so go plyo!

In other happy news, I just received word that my pull-up bar shipped on April 1. Pull-up mastery time is almost nigh!

========
Nutrition: SGX Non-Training Day eating pattern
(Details omitted by request)

Regular (Non-SGX) Daily Supplements: multivitamin with iron, calcium 500 + D, flax seed oil
Water for yesterday: 16 cups

========
Workout:
12:30 PM Yoga break (20 minutes)
10:00 PM Steady-state recumbent bike (Level 3 / 25 minutes)
10:25 PM Steady-state treadmill (4 mph / 10% incline / 20 minutes)
10:45 PM BFL Women Challenge (200 crunches, 300 push-ups!, 200 squats, 200 jumping jacks–also 10 minutes stretching, but I am counting the yoga for that)

========
The Awful Truth:
1. Ratios were off yesterday due to random munching on breakfast crunch bar ingredients while preparing bars. :P

========
Brownie Points:
1. Got my grocery shopping done.
2. Made some emergency Cran-Raisin Breakfast Crunch Bars in case I get a dessert craving. They aren’t quite right for SGX, but they are still a hell of a lot better tasting (with better stats) than anything storebought.
3. Made some EFL Golden Pancakes to stave off raging pancake jones acquired after nummy all-you-can-eat pancake fest this past Sunday.

========
Short-term Goals:
1. Finish Wordpress 1.5 upgrade tweaks.
2. Knock out cardio tonight before stepping into apartment.
