Fat Loss: Week Five, Day Two
Just a regular ol' day today. Went over a bit because my wife bought a watermelon and my daughter wanted to crack it open. Couldn't very well sit there and watch her eat a couple of slices if I didn't have some, could I? Side note: It's very easy to pile up calories eating watermelon... just two wedges come to 183 calories (unless I'm misjudging what's considered a "wedge").
I did also have some pasta salad because:
A. A friend of my wife brought some over, and it was there.
B. I ate it about 30 minutes after my workout, so I figured I could stand to have some carbs, even if they were from white flour.
Normally I avoid non-whole-grain pastas.

I was thinking of breaking up my workouts throughout the day, but once I got started I decided I wanted to work up a sweat and really feel like I did something.
2PM - Workout duration: 13 minutes
- 10 squats (54 lb kettlebell)
- 10 one-armed swings (54 lb KB)
- 10 one-armed swings (36 lb KB)
- 20 snatches (36 lb KB)
- 10 side raises (18 lb KB)
- 10 curls (18 lb KB)
- 5 jacknife pushups (on my knees)
- 3 turkish getups (54 lb KB)
- 10 pushups
- 30 second side bridge each side
That was short, but pretty rough (I squeezed quite a lot into just 13 minutes). Afterwards I decided that next time I need to do the Turkish Get-Ups first. Also, I think I might have to back off of doing jacknife pushups... although they are EXTREMELY effect for the abs, with my wierd low back issues I end up with a pain that wraps around my right pelvis.
They are great if you can do them however as I felt the exercise along my entire rectus abdominus.
