E² [eats + exercise]

A newbie at working out and eating healthy; this is a chronicle of what happens when I try.

meal journal: #2 and #10
  • Breakfast: granola & yogurt
  • Snack: penguin crackers (like Goldfish crackers, except less salty and cheaper!)
  • Lunch: green beans, dry garlic ribs, poutine (>_< complete fail with the poutine, I know, but it was so delicious)
  • Snack: yellow peppers
  • Dinner: korean rice, cabbage, pork belly with preserved veggies; unsweetened apple sauce; slice of french bread with hummus

Yesterday’s workout was so tiring; I don’t know if it was because the gym’s A/C wasn’t on as high, but I was sweating like crazy. 

  • Warm-up: 15 mins on treadmill 
  • 20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest, 2 reps 
    • Burpees
    • Squat Jumps
    • Plank
    • Mountain Climbers
  • 5 sets, 10 reps
    • Kettlebell Overhead Swing
    • Skip Rope: 30 seconds
    • Tuck Jumps
    • Spiderman
      • 10 on each side
    • Burpees

I wanted to start building my running endurance, but it turns out that the arch on my shoe is too high for my left foot and within 5 mins, I started getting pains in my foot. So, I stopped and just walked the rest of the 10 minutes. I guess it’s time to shop for some new runners.
