Health and Fitness

I seem to be neglecting the Health and Fitness side of my blogging since the switch over. So today I am going to go back to the basics and post a training log and a food diary. I have hesitated to jump on the photo food diary bandwagon. Mainly because I hate bandwagons!!! Not to mention it seems that everyone is doing one but I am going to bore you with one for a couple of days or until I get bored with it.

I figure today is as good a time as any since I am switching back to a more strength oriented exercise program. I have been in fat loss and flexibility mode for a while but I can never stay there too long.

Now for the boring measurements:

Waist 37
Hip 43 1/4
Bust 41
Chest 34
Thigh L&R 22 1/2
Calf L&R 13 1/2
Upperarm L&R 14 1/2
Forearm L&R 11
Wrist 6 1/4
Neck 14

BF% 33
Weight 183

Now for the fun part, the workout:

I am going back to a strength program but I am going to keep it wicked basic. Squats, Deads, Push-ups and Kettlebell Snatches.

Because of my knee issues I will keep squats to body weight only but will do full range of motion. I will keep my stance slightly wider than is considered 'correct'. I have found that to be the best stance for my knees and considering I am a woman with wide hips it makes sense. At least to me!! LOL

Deads will be regular ole deadlift, none of those weird varitions.

Push-ups will be incline. I had worked up to regulation push-ups but my shoulder did not like that. So for the sake of not breaking myself I am going to work on incline for now. I will probably do a set or two of renegade rows to make up for the abs!

KB snatches will be with my heaviest bell which, at the moment, is 25 pounds. I am hoping to be able to afford a heavier one soon. Man those things are expensive!!!

So there is is folks. Plain and simple!
