trial and food errors

So week one turned into "week one" about half way through wednesday...with Brad asking me incessantly: "is that on your diet??" with a I-know-its-not-but-I'm-asking-to-be-a-jerk look on his face. To which I snidely replied...hell yes it is. (lies.)
Wednesday was a cardio day - 40 to 45 minutes of just cardio of my choice. this happened to work perfect since I had my last law school final EVER and my post-final ritual is going for a run. So with a huge smile on my face and the weight of the world off my shoulders, I took to the centennial trial for the last time. It was a fabulous run in the beautiful sunshine. And then I drank beer and ate nachos.
Ooops.
I tried to stay on track with my workouts at least. After drinking and eating all night wednesday, Jennie and I woke up early (10am) and went to the gym together before our families came into town. Thursday is a repeat of Tuesday: arms circuit. Instead of walking on the treadmill at an incline though, I ran. Pretty sure my sweat smelled like bud light and hamburger. icky poo. Jennie smiled at me every time I ran by while she was on the treadmill though and it kept me going!
Thursday was another day full of eating and drinking (and weight loss is 80% what you eat...so yeah I'm not any lighter...). I don't even really want to recall what I ate. Something about a Chalupa bar and tequila shots... BUT I got in an extra cardio session shakin' my naughty body on the dance floor! Thursday was the annual grad boat cruise on Lake Coeur D'Alene. good times good times
Friday was supposed to be another gym date with my partner in all things sweat: Jennie...but she bailed on me! Instead of going back to bed though, I went by myself. My mom and aunt Michele biked 162 miles (yes- on road bikes) from Wenatchee to Spokane. So as I hauled my lazy booty out of bed that morning I thought to my self, "self: if they can do that, you can survive an hour at the gym." and gee golly whiz...I lived.
Friday was my favorite workout thus far! It was plyometric lower-body circuit. Here's the gist:
walking lunges: 15-20 per leg (which equals 30-40 total!!! you can guess which number I did...) with 15lbs total
box jumps: 15 no weights
Lateral leaps: 20 total
step ups: 15 per leg no weights
one-armed dead lifts: 20 per leg 15 lbs
calf raises: 20 no weights
The cardio in between was alternating stationary bike and treadmill. I tell ya...those walking lunges will murder you after the first couple circuits! and then straight to box jumps! This to me was like crossfit without a clock. Which is so much nicer for your body.
Saturday I was supposed to do the ever-dreadful HIIT (high intensity interval training) cardio routine...which I skipped because I had slightly more important things to accomplish. Like graduating from law school. I've been alternating between: (1) Damn it Jim! I'm a doctor not a scientist!; (2) that's doctor Wehmeyer to you; and (3) hi I'm a doctor how can I help you? - much the amusement of my family (weird?! I'm boasting about something! like OMG...never).
Saturday and Sunday we got in a little cardio just by moving me out of Spokane...so that kinda counts. Then tonight (sunday) I actually got my butt in gear! The program said to do 40-45 minutes of stationary bike: 5 minutes pace, 1 minute sprint; 5 min pace, 2 min sprint. So I did 40 minutes of that and about fell off the bike at the end! Dripping with sweat! So overall, for a "party" weekend, I'm proud of my effort!
Even though I think I did ok, I'm going to call this "week one" and start with a real week next week. Cause then I can buckle down and have no excuse to deviate that extensively (other than the fact that I'm moving to Seattle! party time! ....jk jk)
