Quick Workout

My head was pounding earlier from a lack of caffeine during the day (at least I think that’s what it was, my coffee this morning was 75% decaf) so I didn’t go to the gym, but I did get a quick squat/pushup Tabata workout in along with a 45-minute walk around the neighborhood. Tabatas are 4-minute protocols consisting of 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest, completed 8 times. They are a really intense form of intervals and while these could have been harder, it’s still better than nothing and I raised my heart rate for a bit and got a sweat going. I’m going to dig deeper into Turbulence Training to get another good 10-15 minute bodyweight circuit going on nights when I can’t (or don’t want to) go to the gym.

Ate pretty well today, though not as many vegetables and I’ve been using pre-packaged frozen meatballs too much as a protein source. I need to start baking some more chicken. I’m also at that terrible point again when I realize I should count my calories for a while to see how much I’m really eating compared to what I think I am. I hate that point so much.
